  • Image processing apparatus for performing predetermined processing on a captured image
    Patent number: 10348958
    Abstract: Predetermined processing is reliably performed on an image captured when a person serving as a photographic subject is photographed. When a person's face is detected in an image captured by an imaging section, a control section performs predetermined image processing on the captured image. If a person's face is not detected, the control section judges whether the predetermined processing is required to be performed on the captured image and, when judged that the predetermined processing is required to be performed, gives an instruction to perform the predetermine processing on the captured image.

  • Motion information obtaining device, motion information obtaining method, and non-transitory recording medium
    Patent number: 10348967
    Abstract: A motion detector calculates a camera shake matrix H(t) applied for a coordinate conversion for a camera shake correction. At this time, the motion detector calculates a motion vector (MV) for each block obtained by dividing a frame, and excludes an object motion vector (MV-B) from the MV. In addition, when a camera shake matrix H_mv that represents a camera shake between the frames is not calculable based on the MV, the motion detector calculates and adjusts a camera shake matrix H_sensor that represents a camera shake in accordance with a motion of an image picker, and settles this matrix as the camera shake matrix H(t).
