20080240615 | Image processing for image deformation - An image processing device, which performs deformation of an image, includes a deformation area setting unit, a deformation area dividing unit, and a deformation processing unit. The deformation area setting unit sets at least a portion of an area on a target image as a deformation area. The deformation area dividing unit divides the deformation area into a plurality of small areas. The deformation processing unit performs deformation of an image within the deformation area by deforming the small areas. The deformation processing unit performs deformation of an image in such a manner that, with respect to a small area having a N-polygonal shape among the plurality of small areas, N triangles that are defined by line segments, each of which connects the center of gravity of the small area, which has not yet been deformed, with each vertex of the same small area, are deformed into N triangles that are defined by line segments, each of which connects the center of gravity of the small area, which has been deformed, with each vertex of the same small area. | 10-02-2008 |

20080279477 | Image Processing Apparatus and Image Processing Method - An image processing apparatus which enables reduction of memory size required for image modification is provided. The image processing apparatus establishes a target block of the modification process; generates an image within the target block by storing an image within a referent block into a source memory area, and by referring the referent block image in the source memory area; generates entirety of the post-modification image by sequentially shifting the target block to a different position within the image modification area and by generating an image within the target block after each shift; computes a maximum block size of the referent block associated with the target block situated any available position prior to generation of the image; and allocates the source memory area capable of storing an image of a size equal to the maximum block size. | 11-13-2008 |
20090060344 | Image Processing Device, Image Processing Method, and Image Processing Program - An image processing device that executes deformation of an image includes a candidate area setting unit, an exclusion determination unit and a deformation processing unit. The candidate area setting unit sets candidate areas, each of which includes a specific image, on a target image used as a target for a deformation process. The exclusion determination unit, when there is an overlap between the candidate areas, excludes one or more candidate areas from the target for the deformation process so as to eliminate the overlap. The deformation processing unit performs deformation of the image on the candidate areas other than the excluded candidate areas. | 03-05-2009 |
