Abstract
Predetermined processing is reliably performed on an image captured when a person serving as a photographic subject is photographed. When a person's face is detected in an image captured by an imaging section, a control section performs predetermined image processing on the captured image. If a person's face is not detected, the control section judges whether the predetermined processing is required to be performed on the captured image and, when judged that the predetermined processing is required to be performed, gives an instruction to perform the predetermine processing on the captured image.
Claims9
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a processor that is configured to:
- acquire a first captured image;
- perform face detection processing to detect a person's face in the acquired first captured image;
- judge whether a person's face has been detected in the first captured image;
- in a case in which the processor judges that a person's face has been detected in the first captured image, perform predetermined processing related to a person's face on the first captured image;
- in a case in which the processor judges that a person's face has been detected in the first captured image, set, as information indicating whether the predetermined processing is required to be performed, information indicating that the predetermined processing is required to be performed;
- and
- in a case in which the information indicating that the predetermined processing is required to be performed has been set, perform the predetermined processing on a second captured image acquired separately from the first captured image without performing the face detection processing on the second captured image.
An image processing method comprising:
- acquiring a first captured image;
- performing face detection processing for detecting a person's face in the acquired first captured image;
- judging whether a person's face has been detected in the first captured image;
- in a case where a judgment is made that a person's face has been detected, performing predetermined processing related to a person's face on the first captured image;
- in a case in which the processor judges that a person's face has been detected in the first captured image, setting, as information indicating whether the predetermined processing is required to be performed, information indicating that the predetermined processing is required to be performed;
- and
- in a case in which the information indicating that the predetermined processing is required to be performed has been set, performing the predetermined processing on a second captured image acquired separately from the first captured image without performing the face detection processing on the second captured image.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon a program that is executable by a computer to actualize functions comprising:
- acquiring a first captured image;
- performing face detection processing for detecting a person's face in the acquired first captured image;
- judging whether a person's face has been detected in the first captured image;
- in a case in which a judgment is made that a person's face has been detected in the first captured image, performing predetermined processing related to a person's face on the first captured image;
- in a case in which the processor judges that a person's face has been detected in the first captured image, setting, as information indicating whether the predetermined processing is required to be performed, information indicating that the predetermined processing is required to be performed;
- and
- in a case in which the information indicating that the predetermined processing is required to be performed has been set, performing the predetermined processing on a second captured image acquired separately from the first captured image without performing the face detection processing on the second captured image.
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a processor that is configured to:
- acquire a captured image;
- perform face detection processing to detect a person's face in the acquired captured image;
- judge whether a person's face has been detected in the captured image;
- in a case in which the captured image is sequentially acquired, when a judgment is made that a person's face has been detected in a predetermined captured image among a plurality of captured images sequentially-acquired, set, as information indicating whether the predetermined processing is required to be performed, information indicating that the predetermined processing is required to be performed;
- and
- in a case in which the information indicating that the predetermined processing is required to be performed has been set, perform predetermined processing related to a person's face on the predetermined captured image, and perform predetermined processing on another captured image other than the predetermined captured image among the plurality of captured images without performing the face detection processing on said another captured image.
