With a minimal process load, to determine level of the image of an image data file, for image data files of a format that saves images in the form of coefficients of discrete frequency components. Image data that includes a plurality of coefficients representing the pattern of change of color of the image are acquired (Step S10). Multiple sets of basic pattern data that respectively include a plurality of basic coefficients representing basic patterns of color change are prepared. Then, based on a comparison of the two, one set of selected basic pattern data is selected from among the multiple sets of basic pattern data (Step S20). Subsequently, the blur level of the image of the image data is calculated, based on the basic blur level associated with the selected basic pattern data (S30-S70).

A still image generation apparatus of the invention includes an image acquisition module that obtains multiple first image data arrayed in a time series among multiple lower-resolution image data, an image storage module that stores the multiple first image data obtained by the image acquisition module, and a correction rate estimation module that estimates correction rates for eliminating positional shifts between images of the respective first image data, based on the multiple first image data stored in the image storage module. The still image generation apparatus further includes an image composition module that corrects the multiple first image data with the estimated correction rates to eliminate the positional shifts between the images of the respective first image data, and combines the multiple corrected first image data to generate higher-resolution second image data as resulting still image data. This arrangement of the invention desirably shortens the total processing time in the process of combining multiple image data.

An image processing device that joins together multiple scenes extracted from a video image, wherein scene information that indicates characteristics of the multiple scenes is extracted from multiple frame images that comprise the video image, where, when two scenes are to be joined together multiple types of transition effects to be used in the changing of the scenes is stored in advance, and a specific transition effect is selected, based on the extracted scene information, from the transition effects that have been stored in advance. For example, effects such as a slide or a wipe are selected based on the characteristics of the video image, such as the direction of movement of an object. The specific transition effect that has been selected is used to join together the two scenes. The result is that it is possible to set up effective scene changes to enable each scene to be joined together.

A reversely-rotatable roller conveys a sheet having an image formed on its one side at a sheet conveying velocity faster than that of a conveying roller by normal rotation and then, the reversely-rotatable roller conveys the sheet to a re-conveying path by reverse rotation. The sheet conveying velocity of the reversely-rotatable roller when the reversely-rotatable roller reversely rotates is made slower than the sheet conveying velocity when the reversely-rotatable roller normally rotates so that the sheet conveying velocity of the re-conveying roller is substantially equal to or slower than the sheet conveying velocity of the conveying roller.

Image processing apparatus and methods are provided for detecting coordinate positions of characteristic portions of a face image. A method includes identifying a face area of the target image, determining initial coordinate positions for characteristic portions, selecting at least one characteristic amount used for correcting the initial coordinate positions or previously generated corrected coordinate positions, determining corrected coordinate positions by using the selected at least one characteristic amount, and detecting the corrected coordinate positions as the coordinate positions.

Image processing apparatus and methods are provided for specifying the positions of predetermined characteristic portions of a face image. A method includes determining an initial disposition of characteristic points in a target face image, applying a transformation to at least one of the target face image or the reference face image, and updating the disposition of the characteristic points in response to a comparison between at least one of the transformed target face image and the reference face image or the target face image and the transformed reference face image.
摘要:
In order to detect an orientation of a human face included in an image consisted of a plurality of pixels, a face region is determined within the image so as to include the human face. A plurality of detecting regions are set so as to be adjacent to the face region. A plurality of first amounts are acquired. Each of the first amount is characteristic to one of the detecting regions. The first amounts are compared to each other to judge the orientation.
