Publication number: 20140078372Abstract: An image display device capable of providing satisfactory user's visibility of an image including object images when the image and display bodies specifying particular regions of the object images are screen displayed. In a case where a horizontal direction distance between face detection frames for object images adjacent on a screen is equal to or less than a first threshold value and a vertical direction distance between face detection frames exceeds a second threshold value, a system controller of the image display device determines which one of the face detection frames is located on an upper side of the screen. A human body detection frame for the object image corresponding to the face detection frame determined as being located on an upper side on the screen is made non-display.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 19, 2013Publication date: March 20, 2014Applicant: CANON KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Masahiro Yamashita, Akihiko Sato, Kazuyoshi Kiyosawa
