Abstract
An image processing apparatus comprises an image capture unit configured to capture an image, a characteristic part detector configured to detect a characteristic part of a face from the image captured by the image capture unit, an outline generator configured to generate a pseudo outline of the face based on positions of the characteristic part detected by the characteristic part detector and a correction unit configured to correct the image based on the pseudo outline generated by the outline generator.
Claims9
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- an image capture unit configured to capture an image;
- a characteristic part detector configured to detect a characteristic part of a face from the image captured by the image capture unit;
- an outline generator configured to generate a pseudo outline of the face based on positions of the characteristic part detected by the characteristic part detector;
- and
- a correction unit configured to correct the image based on the pseudo outline generated by the outline generator.
An image processing method comprising:
- capturing an image;
- detecting a characteristic part of a face from the image;
- generating a pseudo outline of the face based on the characteristic part;
- and
- correcting the image based on the pseudo outline.
A storage medium having stored thereon a computer readable program for enabling a computer for causing an image processing apparatus which comprises an image capture unit configured to capture an image, the program comprising:
- code means for enabling the computer to detect a characteristic part of a face from the image;
- code means for enabling the computer to generate a pseudo outline of the face based on the characteristic part;
- and
- code means for enabling the computer to correct the image based on the pseudo outline.
