摘要:
It is desirable to distribute a most recently inputted image of merchandise in a shop without showing customers visiting a shop, or to distribute an image showing how crowded a shop is without infringing on the privacy of visitors to the ship. This is achieved by separating areas showing moving objects and areas showing no moving objects of an image and synthesizing an image showing stationary objects only by replacing the moving object area with the corresponding area of an earlier inputted image showing stationary objects only, or by processing the moving object area of an image, for example, by applying a mosaic to such an area, and synthesizing the synthesized image showing stationary objects only. The image in which the moving object area has been processed enables the distribution of an image showing how crowded a shop is without infringing on the privacy of visitors.

Disclosed is an image display device that provides power consumption reduction control in an improved manner. The image display device includes an input that inputs a video signal, an output controller that reproduces the video signal entered into the input, a display that displays an image in accordance with the video signal reproduced by the output controller, an imager that picks up an image of a user of the image display device, an attentiveness decider that analyzes the image picked up by the imager and judges whether the user is watching a display screen of the display, and a controller that selects either a normal mode or a power saving mode as a processing mode for light intensity control of a light source of the display or for reproduction in the output controller in accordance with the result of decision made by the attentiveness decider.

An object detection method which rapidly detects one or more objects existing in an image includes: a primary search step which judges whether an object exists at a predetermined interval by using a simple judgment device requiring a small number of calculation amounts; a range estimation step which estimates a range where an object actually exists from a spatial relationship obtained as a result of the primary search; a secondary search step which performs an object judgment process by using a secondary judgment device capable of performing more detailed judgment than the object judgment device used in the primary search; an object position estimation step which estimates a position where the similarity is maximum in a certain object existing range as an object existing position; and a final search step which judges a final object position.
摘要:
An eye-gaze direction calculation unit calculates the eye-gaze direction in an input facial image of a person by carrying out prescribed operation processing based on iris shape data output from an iris detection unit and face-direction measurement data output from a face-direction measurement unit. The eye-gaze direction of the facial image of the person can be measured on the basis of accurate iris shape information obtained by an iris shape detection unit. The iris and sclera regions can be estimated on the basis of the detected eyelid contour information, thereby making it possible to accurately estimate the shape of the iris.

摘要:
A face horizontal direction measuring unit measures the angle of the face horizontal direction for a face image obtained by an imaging unit. By using information on the radius of the head and information on the shoulder position of the person obtained by the aforementioned measurement, a face vertical displacement measuring unit measures a face displacement in the vertical direction not affected by a head posture. According to the obtained displacement, the face angle in the vertical direction is decided. By using the obtained face direction, the angle of the gaze in the horizontal direction and the eyeball radius are measured. Further, a gaze vertical displacement measuring unit is provided for which measuring the pupil center position against the eyeball center position as the gaze displacement in the vertical direction. This displacement amount is used to measure the gaze angle in the vertical direction.
