Abstract: According to the present invention, the face of a subject person can be rapidly detected. An image input unit inputs an image to be processed. A photographing-position input unit inputs photographing-position information attached to the processed image. An angle-range information determination unit determines an angle range, where face detection should be performed to the processed image, on the basis of the information obtained by the photographing-position information input unit. On the basis of information indicating the determined angle range, under the control of a process control unit, a face detection unit performs face detection to the processed image input by the image input unit in predetermined angle increments. A face integration unit integrates all of face data detected by a basic-angle-range face detection unit into face information and then outputs the information.

Abstract: It is determined whether or not there is inconsistency between image sensing mode data, which is set by an operator with respect to a scene including an object of shooting, and attribute data, e.g., focal length data or the like, that accompanies an obtained image. When it is determined that there is inconsistency between the image sensing mode data and attribute data, a caution is given to the operator that it is necessary to maintain consistency.

Abstract: An oxide film is formed on a target substrate by CVD, in a process field to be selectively supplied with a first process gas including a silicon source gas and a second process gas including an oxidizing gas. The oxide film is formed by performing cycles each alternately including first and second steps. The first step performs supply of the first process gas, thereby forming an adsorption layer containing silicon on a surface of the target substrate. The second performs supply of the second process gas, thereby oxidizing the adsorption layer on the surface of the target substrate. The silicon source gas is a univalent or bivalent aminosilane gas, and each of the cycles is arranged to use a process temperature lower than that used for a trivalent aminosilane gas.

Abstract: In an image processing method, contour information is extracted on the basis of terminal points and intersections included in a thinned line drawing, the contour information being extracted for each of closed curves and line elements connecting the terminal points and the intersections included in the line drawing, and skeletonized vector data is generated on the basis of the contour information. Start and end terminal points in the skeletonized vector data are determined. Artificial vectors to be inserted between the determined start and end terminal points are generated, and artificial-vector-inserted vector data including the generated artificial vectors is generated. A smoothing process is performed for the artificial-vector-inserted vector data, and then smoothed, non-circumference vector data is generated on the basis of the start and end terminal points. The thinned line drawing is raster-scanned in units of a pixel matrix.

Abstract: Noise does not occur even if an image of an object region extracted from an input image and a background image are stored separately, and then displayed or printed, at a boundary portion of the object region. A boundary region is set at the inner side of the object region of the input image, and a pixel value of an adjacent pixel at the outer side of the boundary of the object region is written to a corresponding pixel in the boundary region. Even if a difference occurs between the background image and the object image, when a document file is displayed or printed, since the pixel value of the pixel at the outer side of the object region is assigned to the pixel in the boundary region, noise due to average color does not occur.
