First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method, operable in a control unit, for image processing based on a virtual object, the method comprising:
- selecting at least one virtual object, each of the at least one including a virtual image and a modification attribute, the virtual image having a particular form and being placed on a specific underlying image, and the modification attribute allowing at least one part of the underlying image to be modified;
creating a merged image by locating the selected virtual object on a specific position of the underlying image and by modifying the parts of the underlying image according to the modification attribute; and
outputting the merged image.

Abstract
Virtual object based image processing method and apparatus are provided. At least one virtual object is selected and applied to the underlying image such as a preview image obtained by a camera in order to create a merged image. The selected virtual object has a modification attribute allowing parts of the underlying image to be modified. A user can easily obtain various merged images decorated with the modification attributes of the selected virtual object by checking in advance merged images overlapped with the virtual object before saving them.
