Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes an image inputting unit for inputting a plurality of facial images; a detecting unit for detecting a facial region of each of the facial images; a correction ratio calculating unit for calculating a correction ratio of the facial region of each of the facial images; a position calculating unit for calculating a positional deviation of the facial region of each of the facial images; and a correcting unit for correcting a layout of each of the facial images through enlarging or reducing each of the facial images according to the correction ratio and moving each of the facial images according to the positional deviation.
Claims14
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- an image inputting unit for inputting a plurality of facial images;
- a detecting unit for detecting a facial region of each of the facial images;
- a correction ratio calculating unit for calculating a correction ratio of the facial region of each of the facial images;
- a position calculating unit for calculating a positional deviation of the facial region of each of the facial images;
- and
- a correcting unit for enlarging or reducing each of the facial images according to the correction ratio and moving each of the facial images according to the positional deviation so that the correcting unit corrects a layout of each of the facial images,
- wherein said correction ratio calculating unit is arranged to calculate the correction ratio according to a ratio of an area of each of the facial regions to an average area of the facial regions.
A method of processing an image comprising the steps of:
- inputting a plurality of facial images with an image inputting unit;
- detecting a facial region of each of the facial images with a detecting unit;
- calculating a correction ratio of the facial region of each of the facial images with a correction ratio calculating unit according to a ratio of an area of each of the facial regions to, an average area of the facial regions;
- calculating a positional deviation of the facial region of each of the facial images with a position calculating unit;
- and
- enlarging or reducing each of the facial images according to the correction ratio and moving each of the facial images with a correcting unit according to the positional deviation so that a layout of each of the facial images is corrected with the correcting unit.
