20090066806 | Image processing device, image processing method, and image processing program | 03-12-2009 |
20090207455 | Image processing according to image output mode - Picture quality adjustment processing is executed using picture quality adjustment parameter value sets corresponding to a plurality of output modes. First and second image processing modules can execute the same picture quality adjustment, and they can utilize picture quality adjustment parameters in common. If picture quality adjustment is executed by the first image processing module, picture quality adjustment by the second image processing module is prohibited. | 08-20-2009 |
20090237694 | Automatic image quality adjustment according to size of subject - A method of processing an image includes processing the image, if a shooting mode is portrait and a face size in the image is larger than a prescribed size. In one instance, the processing includes performing flesh color adjustment processing of the image. In another instance, the processing includes performing tone value adjustment processing of the image. An image processing device includes an image processor that processes an image, if a shooting mode is portrait and a face size in the image is larger than a prescribed size. A printer includes an image processor that processes an image, if a shooting mode is portrait and a face size in the image is larger than a prescribed size, and a print unit that prints the processed image. | 09-24-2009 |
20090296139 | Selection of image data for output - Either image data or image generation record information is analyzed to determine an image quality parameter relating to image quality, and an output target decision regarding selection of image data as an output target is performed on the basis of the image quality parameter. | 12-03-2009 |
20100208946 | Specifying flesh area on image - A CPU divides image data into a plurality of areas (pixel data groups), analyzes the data in image data area units, and determines the color value and dispersion value of the image data areas. When the determined color value is within a flesh toned color area and the dispersion value is at or below a reference dispersion value, the CPU determines the target image data area to be a flesh area. The CPU carries out a smoothing process on the image data area determined to be a flesh area. | 08-19-2010 |
20100265359 | Output image adjustment of image data - A CPU calculates modified brightness correction amount tCurve_Y with consideration of exposure correction amount (or exposure value) EV if photography information PI (or Exif IFD) is included in image data GF. Specifically, the modified brightness correction amount tCurve_Y is calculated by dividing original brightness correction amount tCurve_Yorg by 2 | 10-21-2010 |
20110200267 | ENHANCEMENT OF IMAGE DATA - A technology is provided whereby correction may be carried out for both a person's face and other portions of an image, when performing color correction for a photographic image in which a person appears. During color correction of image data of a photographic image, the image data is analyzed, and a first region which is part of the photographic image and in which a person's face is present is determined. Then, on the basis of the portion corresponding to the first region of the image data, a first parameter relating to color is calculated. On the basis of part of the image data corresponding to a second region which is part of the photographic image but different from the first region, a second parameter relating to color is calculated. The color tone of the data is then corrected on the basis of the first and second parameters. | 08-18-2011 |

20080240516 | Image Processing Apparatus and Image Processing Method - An image processing apparatus, includes: a transforming area setter, operable to set at least a part of an area of a target image as a transforming area; a transforming area divider, operable to arrange a plurality of dividing points in the transforming area and to divide the transforming area into a plurality of small areas by using a line connecting the dividing points; and a transforming processor, operable to move a position of at least one of the dividing points to transform at least one of the small areas, thereby transforming an image in the transforming area. | 10-02-2008 |
20080240610 | Image Processing Device and Image Processing Method - An image processing device includes a deformation processing unit that deforms at least a portion of an area on a target image, which is generated by photographing, based on a distance between a photographic device and a subject of the target image. A deformation amount adjustment unit uses a distance parameter that correlates with the distance between the photographic device and the subject of the target image when photographing to thereby adjust a degree of deformation to increase as a distance indicated by the distance parameter becomes shorter. | 10-02-2008 |
20090028390 | Image Processing for Estimating Subject Distance - An image processing method includes acquiring first information that indicates a size of an image of a specific subject in a target image relative to a size of the target image, acquiring second information that indicates a size of the specific subject, acquiring third information with which an angle of view of the target image can be determined, and estimating a subject distance, which is a distance from an image pickup apparatus that has generated the target image to the specific subject on the basis of the first information, the second information and the third information. | 01-29-2009 |
20140294321 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD - An image processing apparatus, includes: a transforming area setter, operable to set at least a part of an area of a target image as a transforming area; a transforming area divider, operable to arrange a plurality of dividing points in the transforming area and to divide the transforming area into a plurality of small areas by using a line connecting the dividing points; and a transforming processor, operable to move a position of at least one of the dividing points to transform at least one of the small areas, thereby transforming an image in the transforming area. | 10-02-2014 |
