Mobile terminal and method of controlling the operation of the mobile terminal

摘要

A mobile terminal and a method of controlling the operation of the mobile terminal are provided. The method includes dividing each of first and second images into a plurality of blocks, the first and second images capable of realizing a three-dimensional (3D) image using binocular disparity; searching the first and second images for pairs of matching blocks and calculating depth information of each of the pairs of matching blocks based on a difference in position between each of the pairs of matching blocks; and calculating stereoscopic information of the 3D image based on the depth information of each of the pairs of matching blocks. Therefore, it is possible to effectively provide stereoscopic information of a 3D image for various purposes.
