Abstract:
1. An apparatus for generating a motion blur in a mobile terminal, the apparatus comprising: a motion blur generator for, when motion halting occurs during video shooting, estimating a motion vector of each block between first and second consecutive images where the motion halting has occurred, for generating a motion blur on the second image based on the motion vector of each block, and for displaying the motion-blurred image on a display unit, wherein the motion blur generator comprises: a motion estimator for dividing each of the first and second images into a plurality of blocks, and for estimating a motion vector of each block between blocks of the first image and blocks of the second image; a blur kernel estimator for estimating a motion blur kernel of each block based on the motion vector of each block; a blur adder for generating a third image by adding a motion blur on the first image based on the motion blur kernel of each block; and an image synthesizer for generating a fourth image by synthesizing the third image and the second image, and for displaying the fourth image on the display unit.
