Abstract
An image-processing device having a function that performs detection processing on a first image signal to detect a specific target region of a subject includes an image-signal generating unit that generates a second image signal different from the first image signal based on the first image signal, a target-region detecting unit that performs detection processing on the first and second image signals to detect the specific target region of the subject, and a control unit that selects the results of detecting the target region from either the first or second image signal.
Claims14
An image-processing device having a function that performs detection processing on a first image signal to detect a specific target region of a subject, the device comprising:
- an image-signal generating unit that generates a second image signal different from the first image signal based on the first image signal;
- a target-region detecting unit that performs detection processing on the first and second image signals to detect the specific target region of the subject;
- and
- a control unit that selects the results of detecting the target region from either the first or second image signal.
A method for controlling an image-processing device having a function that performs detection processing on a first image signal to detect a specific target region of a subject, the method comprising:
- an image-signal generating step of generating a second image signal different from the first image signal based on the first image signal;
- a target-region detecting step of performing detection processing on the first and second image signals to detect the specific target region of the subject;
- and
- a control step of selecting the results of detecting the target region from either the first or second image signal.
An image-capturing device comprising:
- an image-signal generating unit that generates different image signals from an output signal from an image-sensing device;
- a target-region detecting unit that performs detection processing on the different image signals to detect a specific target region of a subject;
- and
- a control unit that determines the specific target region based on the results of detecting the target region from the different image signals.
