Patent number: 7756302Abstract: In order to detect an orientation of a human face included in an image consisted of a plurality of pixels, a face region is determined within the image so as to include the human face. A plurality of detecting regions are set so as to be adjacent to the face region. A plurality of first amounts are acquired. Each of the first amount is characteristic to one of the detecting regions. The first amounts are compared to each other to judge the orientation.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2006Date of Patent: July 13, 2010Assignee: Seiko Epson CorporationInventors: Kenji Matsuzaka, Tatsuya Hosoda

Patent number: 7711210Abstract: Scores are calculated for each of a plurality of preselected evaluation items for each image, and the plurality of scores are weighted and combined to produce combined scores. Then a plurality of candidate images are selected and displayed from a group of images based on these combined scores. A user selects one or more images to be processed from these candidate images, and the degrees of correlation between user selected images and evaluation items are found based on the scores for a plurality of evaluation items in the images selected for processing. Then the weightings of evaluation items having high degrees of correlation are increased.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2005Date of Patent: May 4, 2010Assignee: Seiko Epson CorporationInventors: Tatsuya Hosoda, Naoki Kuwata, Junichiro Shinozaki

Patent number: 7693405Abstract: An image pickup device is provided which includes: an auto focus control unit sampling contrast values as a function of a relative distance from an object by detecting a contrast of an image of the object while driving a lens in an optical axis direction, calculating a focused focal position on the basis of the contrast values, and driving the lens to the focused focal position; a shake detecting unit detecting at least an amount of shake in the optical axis direction of the lens; and a selection judging unit judging selection and non-selection of the sampled contrast values depending on the amount of shake in the optical axis direction of the lens at the time of the sampling. Here, the auto focus control unit calculates the focused focal position on the basis of the contrast value judged as being selected by the selection judging unit among the sampled contrast values.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2006Date of Patent: April 6, 2010Assignee: Seiko Epson CorporationInventors: Kazuhiro Sakamoto, Michihiro Nagaishi, Tatsuya Hosoda
