Abstract:
An image generation apparatus includes: an extracting section to extract characteristic information of a hair region in a face image; an image specifying section to specify a hairstyle image on the basis of the characteristic information extracted by the extracting section; and a first generating section to generate a portrait image of a face in the face image by using the hairstyle image specified by the image specifying section.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a threshold setting apparatus including a creating unit which creates a plurality of images of tones by performing a tone conversion process on an original image including a subject by using a plurality of temporary thresholds which are different from each other, a subject detection unit which detects the subject in each of the plurality of images of tones which are created by the creating unit, an evaluation value calculating unit which calculates evaluation values relating to likeness to the subject from the plurality of subjects detected by the subject detection unit and associates the evaluation values with the temporary thresholds, and a setting unit which sets a threshold suited for the tone conversion of the original image based on the plurality of evaluation values calculated by the evaluation value calculating unit.
