An image processing apparatus has a hair region selecting part 11 for selecting hair and shade of the hair in a front face image 13, as a removal region 15, on the basis of each pixel value of the front face image 13 which is a front image of a face, and a face surface model 14 showing structural information relative to a surface of the face in the front face image 13, and a removal region changing part 12 for changing each pixel value in whole or part of the removal region 15, on the basis of the structural information in the face surface model 14, and at least one pixel value in the front image.
摘要:
The invention relates to a picture synthesizing apparatus for cutting out the background from a picture depending on the move of the viewing point, and presents a picture synthesizing apparatus capable of synthesizing a picture by hidden surface processing, processing of reflection motion by contact, or the like, which is mutual interference of background and foreground, wherein a background picture corresponding to the viewing field is cut out by a background cut-out unit from a background picture in a wide range stored in a background picture store, the shape and position information of moving object of foreground is generated in a moving foreground object generating unit, the interference of depth information corresponding to background picture from a background depth store and foreground object information is calculated in a background and foreground synthesizing unit, and a picture is synthesized by hidden surface processing or processing of change of moving direction of foreground object by reflection, so that the picture can be synthesized not as a shape such as column and plane, but in consideration of a picture hiding the foreground by the background, pass-through, and reflection of foreground object colliding against the background by making use of its undulation information.

A facial image picture data is processed by an edge extraction part, which performs edge extraction on the inputted image picture. The processed data is then converted by a binary level conversion part for each preestimated point of facial elements. An image picture arithmetic processing part performs time-to-time arithmetic computation of correlation values between the data of the binary-leveled edged-image picture and the data having been previously stored in the shape data-base part, and issues an output including extracted data of feature points of the facial image picture.
摘要:
The present invention inputs a face image through an image input section, extracts feature points of face components such as an eye, nose, mouth from the input face image, and divides the face image into many patches according to predetermined rules to describe the face image as a set of patches. Then the present invention extracts a feature amount for each patch to describe the face image as a set of feature amounts to identify a person.

An information processing apparatus and method for the same, comprising a database part, a processing-method-determining part, and an information-processing-part. The processing-method-determining part extracts from the data base part attribute characteristics corresponding to the individual media signals which correspond to the reference signals. The processing-method-determining part selects one processing method from among methods by combining the attribute characteristics. The informations processing part, based on the selected processing method, extends or reduces the reproduction time of the media signals to be combined, or discontinues an individual media signal, wherein a multimedia representation consisting of different media signals is produced with reproducing times that satisfactorily coincide.

In an apparatus for identification of individuals, a facial image of an individual to be identified is inputted into a visual image input unit and characteristic points of the inputted facial image are extracted by a characteristics extracting unit. Characteristic points of expressionless facial images of individuals to be identified are stored in a data base. The difference between the characteristic points from the data base of individuals and the characteristic points from the inputted facial image is detected by a difference detecting unit. Further, the apparatus is equipped with a database of expression muscles wherein expression muscle movement vectors to form facial expressions are described. The apparatus is also equipped with an information processing unit whereby the difference information obtained from the difference detecting unit and the information as described in the data base of expression muscles are processed. By this processed information, coupled with the facial image inputted from the visual image input unit, the subject in question is identified.
摘要:
An electronic device capable of controlling a power state of an external device from a first power state (ex. “Standby”) to a second power state (ex. “ON”) includes a determination unit operable to determine whether information indicating linkage is stored in a storage unit when it is detected that communication between the electronic device and the external device is enabled, and a transmitting unit operable to transmit a control signal for controlling power state of the external device. When the information indicating linkage is not stored in the storage unit, the transmitting unit stores the information indicating linkage and transmits the control signal for controlling power state of the external device to the second power state to the external device. When the information indicating linkage is stored in the storage unit, the transmitting unit refrains from transmitting the control signal to the external device.
