Abstract
An image processing apparatus. A face area detecting unit detects a face area corresponding to a face image in a target image. An organ area detecting unit detects an organ area corresponding to a facial organ image in the face area. An organ detection omission ratio, which is a probability that the organ area detecting unit does not detect the facial organ image as the organ area, is smaller than a face detection omission ratio, which is a probability that the face area detecting unit does not detect the face image as the face area.
Claims10
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a face area detecting unit that detects a face area corresponding to a face image in a target image;
- and
- an organ area detecting unit that detects an organ area corresponding to a facial organ image in the face area,
- wherein an organ detection omission ratio, which is a probability that the organ area detecting unit does not detects the facial organ image as the organ area, is smaller than a face detection omission ratio, which is a probability that the face area detecting unit does not detect the face image as the face area.
An image processing method comprising:
- detecting a face area corresponding to a face image in a target image;
- and
- detecting an organ area corresponding to a facial organ image in the face area,
- wherein an organ detection omission ratio, which is a probability that the facial organ image is not detected as the organ area in the detecting of the organ area, is smaller than a face detection omission ratio, which is a probability that the face image is not detected as the face area in the detecting of the face area.
An image processing computer program embodied in a computer readable medium and causing a computer to execute:
- a face area detecting function of detecting a face area corresponding to a face image in a target image;
- and
- an organ area detecting function of detecting an organ area corresponding to a facial organ image in the face area,
- wherein an organ detection omission ratio, which is a probability that the facial organ image is not detected as the organ area in the organ area detecting function, is smaller than a face detection omission ratio, which is a probability that the face image is not detected as the face area in the face area detecting function.
