Abstract

Disclosed herein is a semiconductor integrated circuit which controls the quality of an image and includes a viewer detector, a region specifier, and a controller. The viewer detector detects the number of viewer(s) watching the image and a gaze region being watched by the viewer within the image. If the number of viewers is plural, the region specifier specifies a local region of the image as a target region based on a plurality of gaze regions being watched by the viewers. The controller performs image quality control on the target region.
