An image processing apparatus includes an image converting section, a scanning controlling section, an image memory, and an object detection processing section. The image converting section converts a size of input image data. The scanning controlling section stores the size-converted image data, performs a scanning process of moving a square region having a predetermined size in the size-converted image data, and successively extracts square region image data. The image memory stores the square region image data which have been extracted by the scanning controlling section. The object detection processing section which detects an object region from the extracted square region image data. The image memory stores a plurality of entries of object candidate image data containing object regions of a plurality of object candidates. The object detection processing section performs an object determining process of determining whether or not the square region image data contain an object region.

An image processing apparatus includes an image clipping unit, a feature extracting unit, a candidate identifying unit, and a detecting unit. The image clipping unit clips a window image from a predetermined position of an original image. The feature extracting unit extracts a feature value of the window image on the basis of a predetermined criterion. The candidate identifying unit determines, on the basis of the feature value, whether the window image satisfies a predetermined condition for a candidate including a detection target. The detecting unit determines whether the window image includes the detection target if the window image satisfies the predetermined condition.

Image processing apparatus, image capturing apparatus, image processing method, and program

An image processing apparatus includes: an image acquisition section which acquires an original image; a resolution conversion section which converts the resolution of the original image acquired by the image acquisition section and generates a plurality of reduced images having different resolutions; a detection section which processes by template matching the plurality of reduced images generated by the resolution conversion section and detects an area occupied by a picked-up image of a particular object corresponding to the template, from the reduced images; and a detection result processing section which detects the area occupied by the picked-up image of the particular object on the original image, by processing a detection result obtained by the detection section, the detection section detecting the area occupied by the picked-up image of the particular object by processing the plurality of reduced images in an order in which resolution sequentially varies on a step-by-step basis.

Image processing apparatus, image processing method, program for image processing method, and recording medium which records program for image processing method

An imaging apparatus includes face detection means for searching image data from at least one direction to detect a face portion in the image data; capture mode search direction instruction means for instructing a search direction of the image data to the face detection means in a capture mode, which is a mode of recording the image data; and monitoring mode search direction instruction means for instructing the search direction of the image data to the face detection means in a monitoring mode, which is a mode of displaying the image data.

Imaging apparatus, processing method of the apparatus making computer execute the methods of selecting face search directions specific to a display mode and capture mode of operation

A font memory for a display includes a ROM with a storage region divided into a program storing region and a font data storing region, divided into a mono-font data storing region and a color font data storing region, and designed to map and store data in three segment storage regions in the color font data storing region with respect to a character CRA code defining characteristics of color font data. Three segment storage regions in the color font data storing region, in which color font data corresponding to a CRA code, which is not displayed on a screen, of CRA codes of color font data with respect to a specific font, are to be written, have a mono-font storage diversion changeable storage region that stores therein mono-font data with respect to a font other than the specific font.
