Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes an obtaining section, a detection section, a first identification section and a second identification section. The obtaining section obtains image data of a first picked-up image and a second picked-up image picked up by an image pickup section. The detection section detects a brightness change region where brightness changes at predetermined time intervals in the first picked-up image on the basis of the obtained image data of the first picked-up image. The first identification section performs straight line detection processing on the obtained image data of the second picked-up image to detect a straight line, so as to identify a candidate straight line in a corresponding region corresponding to the brightness change region. The second identification section identifies a quadrilateral region including the candidate straight line as an extraction candidate region in the second picked-up image.

Abstract: An image capturing apparatus 100 comprising a built-in memory 8 which stores a plurality of images captured by an image capturing unit 1 and a system file F2 that registers reproduction control information involving a position where reproduction of each of the images by a display 5 is permitted or prohibited, a GPS unit 2 to position the current position of the image capturing apparatus, and a CPU 9 which compares the positioned current position of the image capturing apparatus with the reproduction control information registered in the system file to control reproduction of the image by the display.

Abstract: An image capturing apparatus includes an image capturing section, an image capturing control section, an image clipping section, an HDR composing section and a panoramic image composing section. The image capturing control section causes the image capturing section to repeatedly capture an image of different luminance to provide plural images of different luminance. The image clipping section clips respective data of substantially overlapping image regions of the plural images of different luminance. The HDR composing section composes the image regions each clipped by the image clipping section to generate data of plural composite images having a wider dynamic range than the image captured by the image capturing section. The panoramic image composing section joins data of the plural composite images generated by the HDR composing section to generate an image whose range is wider than that of the image captured by the image capturing section.

Abstract: A motion blur correction device includes a motion blur correction section which performs motion blur correction processing on an intended video data, and a correction intensity judgment section which instructs the motion blur correction section to cancel the execution of the motion blur correction processing when the frame rate of the video data is equal to or less than a predetermined value. As a result, motion blur correction is prevented from being automatically performed when motion blur correction is not required.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes an obtainment section to obtain a face image; an area specifying section to specify a set of a plurality of corresponding areas in the face image obtained by the obtainment section; and a correction section to generate a face image in which one area of the plurality of corresponding areas of the face image is used as a reference to correct another area.

Abstract: An image capturing apparatus 1 includes an image sensor 15, a microphone 24, and a CPU 20. The microphone 24 inputs sound. The CPU 20 acquires data of a plurality of images of a subject continuously captured by the image sensor 15 as data of a first image group at a first frame rate in a first recording period. Also, the CPU 20 acquires data of a plurality of images of a subject captured by the image sensor 15 as data of a second image group at a second frame rate, which is higher than the first frame rate, in a second recording period. Furthermore, the CPU 20 generates data of moving images that can be played back at the first frame rate from sound data inputted by the microphone 24, data of the first image group acquired at the first frame rate, and data of the second image group acquired at the second frame rate.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes a display section to sequentially display each of the images generated by the imaging section and an enlargement display control section to sequentially display parts of the images generated by the imaging section on the display section while enlarging the parts by a predetermined enlargement factor. The imaging section changes the enlargement factor of the enlargement display control section according to a shake quantity detected by the detecting section or an optical zoom magnification of an optical zoom section.

Abstract: A display control apparatus controls an input unit that inputs pieces of captured image data, an acquisition control unit that controls consecutive acquisition of a plurality of pieces of image data, a memory control unit that buffers in the memory unit the plurality of pieces of image data consecutively acquired by the acquisition control unit, an image compositor that composites the latest buffered image data and other (non-latest) pieces of image data successively buffered in the memory control unit, and a display control unit that displays chronologically an image represented by a image data composited by the image compositor.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus, including: an image obtaining means that obtains an image; a color area detecting means that detects a predetermined color area from the image thus obtained by the image obtaining means; an area specifying means that specifies an area to be adjusted based on saturation and brightness of the color area thus detected by the color area detecting means; and a color adjusting means that adjusts at least one of a hue, the saturation and the brightness of a pixel in the process area thus specified by the area specifying means.

Abstract: An image capturing apparatus 100 comprises an electronic image capture subunit 2, a determiner 8a, an image acquisition control unit 8b and a subject image extractor 8c. The determiner 8a sequentially determines whether a subject image is present in each of the images captured sequentially by the image capture subunit 2. The image acquisition control unit 8b acquires a subject-present background image and a subject-absent background image based on the result of the determination by the determiner 8a. The subject image extractor 8c extracts the subject image from the subject-background image based on difference information between each pair of corresponding pixels of the subject-background image and the background image each acquired by the image acquisition control unit 8b.

Abstract: A camera device 100 comprises a CPU 13, a characteristic area specifier 8d, and a combine subunit 8f. CPU 13 detects a command to combine a background image and a foreground image. In response to detection of the command by CPU 13, the characteristic area specifier 8d specifies a foreground area for the foreground image. The combine subunit 8f combines the background image and the foreground image such that the foreground area specified by the characteristic area specifier 8d is in front of the foreground image.

Abstract: A camera device 100 comprises a recording medium 9, an operator input unit 12, and an image synthesis unit 8g. The recording medium 9 stores a plurality of images and a like number of sets of image capturing conditions in associated relationship. The operator input unit 12 issues a command to read a plurality of images from the recording medium 9 and to synthesize the images. The image synthesis unit 8g reads, from the recording medium 9, a plurality of sets of image capturing conditions each associated with a respective one of the images, the command for synthesis of which is issued by the operator input unit 12, processes the remaining one(s) of the plurality of images excluding a particular one image so as to fit the one image in image capturing conditions, and then synthesizes a resulting processed image(s) with the one image.
