  • Patent number: 12148190
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a processor that processes first imaging data captured by a first imaging function using visible light and second imaging data captured by a second imaging function using infrared light; and a light-emitting part that outputs infrared light toward an imaging target by the second imaging function. The processor detects a face area from an image of the first imaging data, detects the brightness of the imaging target based on the first imaging data stored in a memory, and when the brightness detected is equal to or more than a predetermined threshold value, the processor controls the output of the light-emitting part depending on whether or not the face area is detected, while when the brightness is less than the predetermined threshold value, the processor controls the output of the light-emitting part regardless of detection of the face area.

  • Patent number: 12148243
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes a memory which temporarily stores image data of an image captured by an imaging device, and a processor which processes image data stored in the memory. The processor processes image data of plural images captured by the imaging device at predetermined time intervals and stored in the memory, detects face areas with faces captured therein from among the plural images based on first-resolution image data and second-resolution image data, and determines whether or not the face areas are consecutively detected from the plural images. Further, when determining that the state is changed between a state where face areas are consecutively detected and a state where face areas are not consecutively detected while performing processing to detect the face areas based on first-resolution image data, the processor detects face areas from among the plural images based on the second-resolution image data.
