  • Patent number: 9628700
    Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes an imager, a face detecting unit, an object detecting unit, an another-subject determining unit, a trimming-position setting unit, and an image processing unit. The imager acquires image data. The face detecting unit detects a face in the image data. An object detecting unit detects an object specifying a direction in which the face seems to be paying attention. The another-subject determining unit determines whether another subject is present in the direction in which the face seems to be paying attention. The trimming-position setting unit sets a trimming range on the basis of a determination result of the another-subject determining unit. The image processing unit performs trimming on the image data in accordance with the trimming range set.

  • Publication number: 20070091334
    Abstract: A method of calculating correction data for correcting display characteristic includes generating test pattern data, displaying, based on the test pattern data, a test pattern on an image display device, obtaining capture data by capturing the test pattern, and calculating, based on the capture data, correction data for correcting display characteristic of the image display device. In this case, when the capture data does not normally constitute an entire image, correction data relating to an entire image relating to the test pattern data is calculated by setting the not-normally-constituting area as the area to be complemented and complementing the area to be complemented based on the area excluding the area to be complemented.
