摘要： An electronic camera detects a person's face image from an object image obtained by photographing an object, executes an enlarging process on the detected face image so as to obtain a face image whose face size is suitable, and displays the face image which is enlarged into the suitable size on a display device. When a plurality of people are present on the object image, the enlarged face images are switched by an image operating switch. As a result, the switched face image is displayed on the display device.

摘要： In a scene recognition photographing device of the present invention, a feature quantity of an acquired image acquired from an image pickup element is calculated from the acquired image. Plural types of reference feature information having a feature quantity serving as a reference at the time of determining a composition are stored as a database in an internal memory or a storage device. Moreover, a camera control unit retrieves reference feature information having a feature quantity similar to the feature quantity of the acquired image from among the reference feature information by comparing the calculated feature quantity and the reference feature information. Then, information relating to composition is displayed on a display device on the basis of a result of comparison between the acquired image and the retrieved reference feature information.

摘要： A blurring parameter operating section calculates a blurring parameter corresponding to a distance from an optical system to a subject, based on two luminance information items which have different blurring degrees and are acquired by changing an arrangement setting of the optical system. A distance estimating section estimates distance information corresponding to the distance from the optical system to the subject, based on the blurring parameter. A focus detection section acquires luminance information after changing arrangement setting of the optical system based on the distance information, acquires luminance information items having different blurring degrees by further changing arrangement setting of the optical system, calculates an evaluation value indicating a degree of focus from each of the luminance information items having the different blurring degrees, and determines the focal position based on the evaluation value.

摘要： A three-dimensional-object can be effectively detected. A pair of image capture devices capture a three-dimensional-object and calculate disparity component data of subdivided-image regions, respectively. On a basis of the disparity component data, gray scale values indicative of distances from the image capture device are calculated and a gray scale image in which each region has its corresponding gray scale value is generated. A model of the three-dimensional-object is defined and correlation values is calculated to show the degree of a similarity between the model and the image subdivided regions in the gray scale image. The model is a two-dimensional image with a shaping characteristic when the three-dimensional object is viewed from positions of the image capture devices while each subdivided region of the two-dimensional image has a gray scale value indicative of a distance from the image capture device at a portion corresponding to the three-dimensional object. The correlation values are calculated on a basis of gray scale values of the model and those of the image region in the gray scale image. The model and an image region with the highest correlation value are detected in the gray scale image, so that a three-dimensional image is detected.
