1. An X-ray apparatus for controlling a position of an X-ray emitter, the X-ray apparatus comprising:
- an image obtainer configured to obtain an image of an object by photographing the object;
an image processor configured to identify a candidate region of the object and a central point of the object by performing image processing on the obtained image, and generate a thumbnail image by causing user interfaces (UIs) indicating an irradiation region shape of the X-ray emitter and a central point of the X-ray emitter to overlap the identified candidate region of the object and the identified central point of the object, the candidate region being a region of the object to be X-rayed;
a display configured to display the thumbnail image; and
a controller configured to calculate the irradiation region shape of the X-ray emitter and the position of the X-ray emitter by matching the candidate region of the object and the central point of the object with the irradiation region of the X-ray emitter and the central point of the X-ray emitter, respectively, and control the position of the X-ray emitter based on the matched irradiation region of the X-ray emitter and the matched central point of the X-ray emitter.

Abstract
An X-ray apparatus performs image processing on an image of an object photographed by using a camera, and uses the image-processed image as an image marker in an X-ray image. A display is configured to display the X-ray image and the image marker on the region of the X-ray image.

10. A method of controlling a position of an X-ray emitter, the method comprising:
-
obtaining an image of an object by photographing the object; identifying a candidate region of the object and a central point of the object by performing image processing on the obtained image; calculating an irradiation region shape of the X-ray emitter and the position of the X-ray emitter by matching the identified candidate region of the object and the identified central point of the object with the irradiation region of the X-ray emitter and the central point of the X-ray emitter, respectively, the candidate region being a region of the object to be X-rayed; generating a thumbnail image by causing information about the calculated irradiation region shape of the X-ray emitter and the calculated position of the X-ray emitter to overlap the obtained image; and displaying the thumbnail image. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
