  • Patent number: 7324669
    Abstract: Disclosed is an image processing apparatus in which the cheek of a person captured in an image of a photo may be corrected to a finish with the cheek looking slimmer than in a two-dimensional photo. A face correction unit (400) calculates, in a calculation unit (411), a face length L1 and a cheek width L2 of a face of a person as an object and L3 corrected from the face length L1. A face classifying unit (412) compares L2 and L3 to each other to classify the face shape into a ‘round shape’, ‘a long shape’ and a ‘square shape’. Depending on the results of classification, the image trimming is carried out by a first contour correction unit (413), a second contour correction unit (414), and a third contour correction unit (415) so that the cheek will look slim.
