In an image capturing device, an image acquiring unit (101) acquires image data captured for a subject, a distance information acquiring unit (108) acquires a distance from the subject included within each region to a capturing position for the image data for each of a plurality of regions constituting the acquired image data, a distinguishing information acquiring unit (113) acquires distinguishing information for distinguishing the subject from the image data, and a generating unit (102, 112, 103) generates object regions the subject within the image data is divided up into each processing target from the image data based on the shooting distances and the distinguishing information.

An image processing apparatus that detects a face area from image information includes a pattern database (110), a face-direction determining unit (105), and a face-area detector (106). The face-direction determining unit (105) determines, as a face direction, a direction in which a face image in image information is upright based on determination pattern information stored in the pattern database (110). The face-area detector (106) matches the direction of the image information with the direction of the determination pattern information based on the face direction, and detects a face area from the image information.

A noise eliminating device may include a noise eliminating mechanism which eliminates an isolated noise in an image being photographed. The noise eliminating mechanism may include a noise pixel detection mechanism and a pixel correction mechanism. The noise pixel detection mechanism may detect a noise pixel by scanning the image. The pixel correction mechanism may correct a level of a detected noise pixel based on a level of a pixel located in a predetermined area from the noise pixel. A noise eliminating method for eliminating an isolated noise in an image being photographed may include the steps of detecting a noise pixel by scanning the image and correcting a level of the detected noise pixel based on a level of a pixel located in a predetermined area from the noise pixel.

A ranging system for measuring a distance to an object imaged on a captured image, includes a region extraction unit configured to extract a first region and a second region other than the first region from the captured image, on the first region a first object being imaged and on the second region a second object being imaged; a first measurement unit configured to measure a distance to the first object based on a reflected electromagnetic wave reflected at the first object; and a second measurement unit configured to measure a distance to the second object by performing a parallax calculation based on an imaged position of the second object in the captured image.

An object recognition apparatus includes a first object detection unit configured to detect an object based on an image captured by an imaging unit, and output first information including a distance and a direction to the object; a second object detection unit configured to emit light, detect the object based on reflected light, and output second information including a distance and a direction to the object; an output unit configured to output at least one of the first information and the second information; a disappearance detection unit configured to detect disappearance upon when the first object detection unit becomes unable to detect the object; and an emission control unit configured to control the second object detection unit to emit light in an object direction based on the first information before detecting the disappearance. Upon the disappearance detection unit detecting the disappearance, the output unit starts outputting the second information.
