Abstract

Disclosed is an electronic device that acquires an image including a first object, identifies a first part of the first object in the image, identifies a second part related to the first part based on a result of the identification of the first part, and performs an operation based on a result of the identification of the second part when the instructions are executed.

Claims

1. An electronic device comprising:

a processor; and

a memory that stores instructions to instruct the processor to acquire an image including a first object, to identify a first part of the first object in the image, to identify a second part of the first object, related to the first part, based on a result of the identification of the first part, and to perform an operation based on a result of the identification of the second part when the instructions are executed.

2. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the memory further stores instructions to instruct the processor to determine an area to be identified corresponding to the first part and to identify the second part by identifying an object of the area to be identified when the instructions are executed.

3. The electronic device of claim 2, wherein the memory further stores instructions to instruct the processor to compare the object of the area to be identified with a pre-stored database and to identify the second part based on a result of comparison when the instructions are executed.

4. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the memory further stores instructions to instruct the processor to perform an authentication by using the identification result of the first part and to perform an operation based on the identification result of the second part and the authentication when the instructions are executed.

5. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the memory further stores instructions to instruct the processor to perform an authentication by using the identification result of the first part and the identification result of the second part when the instructions are executed.

6. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the memory further stores instructions to instruct the processor to acquire a depth image corresponding to the image and to perform segmentation between the first part and the second part in the image based on depth information of the acquired depth image when the instructions are executed.

7. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the memory further stores instructions to instruct the processor to acquire additional information related to the image and to perform an operation based on the identification result of the second part and the additional information when the instructions are executed.

8. The electronic device of claim 7, wherein the additional information includes at least one of metadata of the image and information acquired by the electronic device when the image is photographed.

9. The electronic device of claim 7, wherein the memory further stores instructions to instruct the processor to determine a correlation between the additional information and the identification result of the second part and to output information related to the correlation when the instructions are executed.

10. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the memory further stores instructions to instruct the processor to determine a size of the first part, determine an area to be identified corresponding to the first part based on the size of the first part, to identify an object in the area to be identified, and to identify the second part when the instructions are executed.

11. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the memory further stores instructions to instruct the processor to determine an orientation of the first part, to determine an area to be identified corresponding to the first part based on the orientation of the first part, to identify an object in the area to be identified, and to identify the second part when the instructions are executed.

12. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the memory further stores instructions to instruct the processor to perform pre-processing including at least one of lighting correction, focus correction, and size adjustment on the image when the instructions are executed.

13. An electronic device comprising:

a processor; and

a memory that stores instructions to instruct the processor to acquire an image including a first part, to identify the first part in the image, to identify a second part related to the first part based on an identification result of the first part, and to store the identification result of the first part and an identification result of the second part associated with each other when the instructions are executed.

14. The electronic device of claim 13, wherein the memory further stores instructions to instruct the processor to perform an authentication by using at least one of the identification result of the first part and the identification result of the second part and to store the identification result of the first part and the identification result of the second part associated with a result of the authentication when the instructions are executed.

15. The electronic device of claim 13, wherein the memory further stores instructions to instruct the processor to acquire additional information related to the image and to store the identification result of the first part and the identification result of the second part associated with the additional information when the instructions are executed.

16. The electronic device of claim 15, wherein the additional information includes at least one of metadata of the image and information acquired by the electronic device when the image is photographed.

17. An electronic device comprising:

a processor; and

a memory that stores instructions to instruct the processor to acquire a plurality of images including a first part, to identify the first part in each of the plurality of images, to identify a second part related to the first part in each of the plurality of images based on an identification result of the first part, and to perform an operation based on an identification result of the second part when the instructions are executed.

18. The electronic device of claim 17, wherein the memory further stores instructions to instruct the processor to perform an operation based on a change in the second part in each of the plurality of images when the instructions are executed.

19. The electronic device of claim 18, wherein the memory further stores instructions to instruct the processor to acquire additional information corresponding to each of the plurality of images, to determine a correlation between the change in the second part in each of the plurality of images and the additional information, and to output information related to the correlation when the instructions are executed.

20. An electronic device comprising:

a processor; and

a memory that stores instructions to instruct the processor to acquire an image and to perform an operation related to at least one part of the image based on a type of a first part included in the image when the instructions are executed.
