Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a processor that processes the image data of the image stored in a memory in order to detect a face area with a face captured therein and an orientation of the face from the image, and controls the screen brightness of a display unit based on the orientation of the face detected by the processing. When the detected face orientation falls within a preset first angle range, the processor determines that the face orientation is a first orientation, and even when the detected face orientation is out of the first angle range, the processor determines that the face orientation is the first orientation depending on the amount of change in the detected orientation of the face changing in a direction of the first orientation.

Claims10

Dependent claims

An information processing apparatus comprising:

a memory which temporarily stores image data of an image captured by an imaging unit;
and
a processor which processes the image data stored in the memory, the processor performing
face detection processing to process the image data of the image stored in the memory in order to detect a face area with a face captured therein and an orientation of the face from the image, and
brightness control processing to control screen brightness of a display unit based on the orientation of the face detected by the face detection processing, wherein
in the face detection processing, when the detected face orientation falls within a preset first angle range, the processor determines that the face orientation is a first orientation, and even when the detected face orientation is out of the first angle range, the processor determines that the face orientation is the first orientation depending on the amount of change of the detected orientation of the face changing in a direction of the first orientation.
