    摘要: To acquire a high-resolution frame from a plurality of frames sampled from a video image, it is necessary to obtain a high-resolution frame with reduced picture quality degradation regardless of motion of a subject included in the frame. Because of this, between a plurality of contiguous frames FrN and FrN+1, there is estimated a correspondent relationship. Based on the correspondent relationship, the frames FrN+1 and FrN are interposed to obtain first and second interpolated frames FrH1 and FrH2. Based on the correspondent relationship, the coordinates of the frame FrN+1 are transformed, and from a correlation value with the frame FrN, there is obtained a weighting coefficient α(x°, y°) that makes the weight of the first interpolated frame FrH1 greater as a correlation becomes greater. With the weighting coefficient, the first and second interpolated frames are weighted and added to acquire a synthesized frame FrG.

    摘要: Processing speed is improved, by decreasing the amount of calculations required in face detecting processes. A human subject is photographed, and light is received by light receiving elements for each color component, to obtain pieces of pixel data. Next, a raw color image is generated from the pixel data, and a green signal image is generated from green pixel data. Thereafter, faces within the raw image are detected, by performing face detecting processes on the green signal image.

    摘要: Sharpness is adjusted for more appropriately representing a predetermined structure in an image. A parameter acquisition unit obtains a weighting parameter for a principal component representing a degree of sharpness in a face region detected by a face detection unit as an example of the predetermined structure in the image, by fitting to the face region a mathematical model generated by a statistical method such as AAM based on a plurality of sample images representing human faces in different degrees of sharpness. Based on a value of the parameter, sharpness is adjusted in at least a part of the image. For example, a parameter changing unit changes the value of the parameter to a preset optimal face sharpness value, and an image reconstruction unit reconstructs the image based on the parameter having been changed and outputs the image having been subjected to the sharpness adjustment processing.

    摘要: Processing for judging whether a face is included in a frame is performed, in a predetermined interval, on each of frames included in a moving image of a subject, displayed on a monitor, until the judgment becomes positive. If it is judged that a face is included in a frame, the facial position is detected in the frame, and stored. Then, judgment is made as to whether a face is included in the next frame after predetermined time. If the judgment is positive, the facial position is detected. The previously stored facial position is replaced by the newly detected facial position, and the newly detected facial position is stored. These processes are repeated until photographing operation is performed by operating a release unit.

    摘要: An apparatus detects a predetermined number of facial images from detection target images. An inclination order setting means utilizes the correlative relationships among correlative data obtained by a correlative data obtaining means and the inclinations of faces that appear in input images, to determine the relative value of the probability that faces of a predetermined inclination will appear in the input images. The inclination order setting means sets the order of inclinations of faces to be detected such that faces are detected in order of inclinations according to the relative values of the probabilities, based on the correlative data that they will appear. A face detecting means detects faces within the input images while varying the inclinations of faces to be detected according to the set order.
