Disclosed is a technique for allowing proper classification information to be provided to an edited image. When it is determined that the editing is cropping, a system controller cuts a decompressed image down to a desired size using an image processor and performs face detection on a crop image. The system controller generates a header for image data of an edited image. When the setting of automatically providing classification information is 'ON', classification information is automatically provided based on the detected face information.

Image pickup apparatus and image pickup method

An ink composition is disclosed which includes a pigment, self-dispersing resin particles including a hydrophilic constituent unit and a hydrophobic constituent unit, at least two nonionic surfactants including (a) a nonionic surfactant having an HLB of from 15 to 19 and (b) a nonionic surfactant having an HLB of from 10 to less than 15, a water-soluble organic solvent, and water. An ink set and an image forming method are also disclosed.

Ink composition, ink set, and image forming method

An image editing apparatus includes a subject information extracting unit configured to extract subject information of a subject from an image, and a subject frame setting unit configured to set a subject frame based on the subject information extracted by the subject information extracting unit. The image editing apparatus also includes a region instructions detecting unit configured to detect a user's instructions as to a region of the subject frame set by the subject frame setting unit, and a region instructions frame setting unit configured to set a region instructions frame based on the user's instructions detected by the region instructions detecting unit. The image editing apparatus further includes a storage processing unit configured to store the subject frame set by the subject frame setting unit, and the region instructions frame set by the region instructions frame setting unit, in a correlated manner.

Image editing apparatus, image editing method, and computer readable medium

An image sensing apparatus includes an image sensor; an image display device; a display designating unit that designates whether or not the sensed image is displayed by the image display device; and a focus evaluating value obtaining device that obtains a focus evaluating value for adjusting a focus. The focus evaluating value obtaining device obtains the focus evaluating value based on an image signal that corresponds to a part of a region of an display image displayed by the image display device if the display designating unit does not designate that the sensed image is displayed by the image display device when the image of the subject is sensed by said image sensor.

Image sensing apparatus and control method thereof having a reduced focusing processing

To display information about an image sensing apparatus on a display when the display is OFF, the display is turned ON for only a predetermined time and displays the information in the image sensing apparatus having an image sensor and the display for displaying an image obtained by the image sensor and information about the status of the image sensing apparatus.

Information display control in image sensing apparatus

An image reproduction apparatus which can omit an operation to add specific information such as rotation information of an image when printing is ordered is provided. In the image reproduction apparatus, when printing order information necessary to print the image selected from among the images stored in storage media is generated, additional information of the selected image is read by a system control circuit. Then, when the rotation information of the image is included in the additional information of the read image, the rotation information is added to the printing order information.

Image reproduction apparatus, control method thereof, printing information generation method, and storage medium

An image processing apparatus includes a pick-up for picking-up a subject, temporal storage for temporarily storing sets of image information picked up by the pick-up during predetermined time periods, and a display for displaying the stored sets of image information and image information from the pick-up. A subject views the display during image pick-up. Also included is a control that causes temporal storage to store the sets of image information corresponding to the same subject picked up by the pick-up during the predetermined time periods, and causes display of the sets of image information corresponding to the same subject and stored in temporal storage discriminatively from the image information from the pick-up. At least one of the sets of image information is selected corresponding to the same subject in temporal storage.

Image processing system

An apparatus for displaying an image captured by a video camera displays a window of the captured image, buttons displayed about the window for scrolling the image, and a sizing button displayed adjacent the window for enlarging/reducing the size of the window. If an operator wishes to pan, tilt or zoom the video camera, the operator manipulates the scroll buttons and sizing button for scrolling the image horizontally or vertically and sizing the window. The apparatus causes the camera to tilt or pan in accordance with the scrolling of the window by the scrolling operation and causes the camera to zoom in or out in accordance with the sizing operation. The apparatus is adapted to display an icon which is a miniature image of the image captured by the video camera. When this icon is selected, the application using the video camera is started. The icon is not displayed if the video camera is operating abnormally.

Television conference system wherein a plurality of image pickup means are displayed in a corresponding plurality of windows

An image processing system comprises input means for inputting an image information, storage means for storing the image information input from said input means, display means for displaying the image information input from said input means and the image information stored in said storage means, changeover means for switching between the display of the image information from said input means and that of the image information from said storage means, and output means for outputting the image information stored in said storage means.

An image processing system is capable of displaying, storing and printing an image from either of two video inputs. When one video input is selected, a real-time video image of a subject is displayed on a monitor. When a shutter-button is pushed, a still-frame image of the subject is displayed on the monitor and stored in a memory. A print out of the stored image can be requested following confirmation of the quality and desirability of the stored image.

Image processing system having a selector for selecting a picked-up

A video conference system includes a video camera for imaging participants in a conference, a plotting image input unit for receiving plotting data from a participant, and a synthesization unit for synthesizing an image including plotting image data being input and video data of the participant who is entering the plotting image data.

Image pickup system and communication system for use in video conference

Photography booth with multiple video and confirming image display

Television conference system and method therefor

Disclosed is a video conference system including a video camera for imaging participants in a conference, a registration unit capable of registering a plurality of pieces of position information indicating directions of the positions of the participants in the conference, a changing unit for changing the imaging direction of the video camera on the basis of the position information, a memory unit capable of storing a plurality of image data corresponding to the individual imaging directions set by the changing unit, and a synthesization unit for synthesizing the image data stored in the memory unit into image data currently being obtained by the video camera in correspondence with the position information registered in the registration unit.
