Claims13
A face image synthesis apparatus comprising:
- an image input unit which fetches an image including a face of a person;
- a face region acquisition unit which acquires a face region including a head of the person from the image;
- and
- a face region processing unit which processes image data corresponding to the face region to form a different face image that is different from the fetched image.

A communication terminal comprising:
- an image input unit which fetches an image including a face of a person;
- a face region acquisition unit which acquires a face region including a head of the person from the image;
- and
- a face region processing unit which processes image data corresponding to the face region to form a different face image that is different from the fetched image;
