Patent number: 8229181Abstract: An image processing device includes a face region extracting unit that extracts a face region of a person included in an image to be corrected. A correction region specifying unit specifies a region including the extracted face region as a reduction region and specifies a region excluding the reduction region as an enlargement region. A correction execution unit generates a correction image in which an image in the reduction region is reduced based on a predetermined reduction ratio and an image in the enlargement region is enlarged according to a ratio of the reduction region to the enlargement region.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2009Date of Patent: July 24, 2012Assignee: Seiko Epson CorporationInventor: Kosuke Shingai

Patent number: 8224117Abstract: An image processing device that executes deformation of an image includes a candidate area setting unit, an exclusion determination unit and a deformation processing unit. The candidate area setting unit sets candidate areas, each of which includes a specific image, on a target image used as a target for a deformation process. The exclusion determination unit, when there is an overlap between the candidate areas, excludes one or more candidate areas from the target for the deformation process so as to eliminate the overlap. The deformation processing unit performs deformation of the image on the candidate areas other than the excluded candidate areas.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2008Date of Patent: July 17, 2012Assignee: Seiko Epson CorporationInventors: Akio Yamazaki, Goro Ishida, Kosuke Shingai
