Abstract
Provided is a method and apparatus for processing an image, in which an image is removed from the entire photographed image and synthesized with another image using distance information to a photographed object regardless of colors or patterns of the image. The method includes the steps of photographing images using two cameras, extracting distance information to a photographed object using a disparity between the images, and processing the images of the photographed object at a predetermined distance using the extracted distance information.

7. An apparatus for processing an image, the apparatus comprising:
-
two cameras for photographing images;
a pixel mapping unit for mapping corresponding pixels in the images photographed by the cameras with respect to the same object;
a distance information extracting unit for calculating a disparity between the images as a difference between positions of the corresponding pixels with respect to the same object in the images and extracting distance information to the photographed object using the disparity; and
an image synthesizing unit for processing the images of the photographed object at a predetermined distance using the distance information. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11)
