Abstract
A method and portable terminal are provided for correcting a gaze direction of a user in an image. A face of the user is detected in the image. Contour points of an eye area are detected in the detected face. The contour points of the detected eye area in the image are changed to contour points that correspond to a gaze direction toward a reference camera. The gaze direction of the user in the image is corrected by transforming the eye area according to the changed contour points.
