Abstract: An image extracting apparatus is provided which can automatically finish a captured image of a person to provide an easy-to-view picture. It includes an image input unit supplied with a captured color image of the person to output it as digital data, a flesh-color region extraction unit supplied with the digital image data to detect a flesh-color region in the image, an object-image detection unit to detect an object image from the detected flesh-color region, and a trimming unit to trim the detected object image. On the assumption that a region extending from the top end of a certificate picture to the head top of a person is an overhead region A, a region extending from the head top to the jaw is a face region B and a region extending from the jaw to the bottom end of the certificate picture is a chest region C, the trimming unit trims the image so that the dimensional ratio between these regions A, B and C is 1:0.4 to 0.8:0.1 to 0.26.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an image print apparatus configured to print an image for use in scrapbooking, including, an image data acquisition block configured to acquire image data of an image subject to processing, a template hold block configured to hold a plurality of templates each indicative of a clipping shape of the image for scrapbooking with a border line of the clipping shape, a template select block configured to select at least one of the plurality of templates held in the template hold block, an image display block configured to display the template selected by the select block by arranging the selected template on the image based on the image data acquired by the image data acquisition block, an operator block configured to enter a user-specified change in a relative position between the image and the template displayed on the image display block and in a size of at least one of the image and the template displayed on the image display block, and a print block configured to print the image displayed o

Abstract: This invention provides an image printing apparatus, an image printing method, a program for an image printing method and a program having a program for an image printing method recorded thereon wherein disagreement in size between a scale and a photograph in scrap booking can be eliminated simply and with certainty. An image printing apparatus for printing an image to be used for scrap booking, comprising an image data acquisition section, a template retaining section, a template selection section, an image display section, an operation section and a printing section. Also it is demanded to provide an image printing apparatus, an image printing method, a program for an image printing method and a program having a program for an image printing method recorded thereon wherein otherwise possible deterioration of the finish arising from a line for cutting can be prevented.

Abstract: A printing system and a printing method are provided in which a user can select the optimal method to output photographed image data when the user outputs input image data using a printing system or the like. When the photographed image data is input by the user to print the image data on which the user intends to perform printing processing, suitable printing sizes are computed with respect to the image data selected by the user among the input image data; a plurality of printing sizes including those suitable printing sizes are displayed on an operation screen; image data to be printed is generated based on the printing size selected from the plurality of printing sizes; and this image data to be printed is transmitted to a printing device which performs printing processing.

Abstract: An image extracting apparatus is provided which can automatically finish a captured image of a person to provide an easy-to-view picture. It includes an image input unit (101) supplied with a captured color image of the person to output it as digital data, a flesh-color region extraction unit (200) supplied with the digital image data to detect a flesh-color region in the image, an object-image detection unit (300) to detect an object image from the detected flesh-color region, and a trimming unit (400) to trim the detected object image. On the assumption that a region extending from the top end (600a) of a certificate picture (600) to the head top TOH of a person (601) is an overhead region A, a region extending from the head top TOH to the jaw HOC is a face region B and a region extending from the jaw HOC to the bottom end (600b) of the certificate picture is a chest region C, the trimming unit (400) trims the image so that the dimensional ratio between these regions A, B and C is 1:0.4 to 0.8:0.1 to 0.26.
