20090220009 | IMAGE DECODING DEVICE AND IMAGE DECODING METHOD - An image decoding device ( | 09-03-2009 |
20100183193 | IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND INTEGRATED CIRCUIT FOR PROCESSING IMAGES - This image processing apparatus, for photographed images taken at a predetermined time interval and input sequentially, specifies an image area as the target of predetermined processing. The apparatus (i) has processing capability to generate, in accordance with a particular input photographed image, reduced images at K (K≧1) ratios within the predetermined time interval, (ii) selects, for each photographed image that is input, M (M≦K) or fewer ratios from among L (L>K) different ratios in accordance with ratios indicated for a photographed image input prior to the photographed image, (iii) compares each of the reduced images generated at the selected M or fewer ratios with template images, and (iv) in accordance with the comparison results, specifies the image area. | 07-22-2010 |
20100232712 | DETECTOR, DETECTION METHOD, AND INTEGRATED CIRCUIT FOR DETECTION - A detector detects a specified image in an input image. The detector includes an area determination unit for determining, in the input image, a detection target area in which the specified image potentially exists, a setting unit for setting positions of a plurality of matching target ranges substantially in the detection target area, each of the matching target ranges being a predetermined size, so that the matching target ranges cover the detection target area, and each matching target range overlaps a neighboring matching target range by a predetermined overlap width, and a matching unit for detecting the specified image by matching a portion of the input image encompassed by each matching target range set by the setting unit and a template image for detecting the specified image. | 09-16-2010 |
20100290669 | IMAGE JUDGMENT DEVICE - The present invention provides an image judgment device that can prevent increase in a storage capacity to store element characteristic information. The image judgment device stores the element characteristic information for each element that a characteristic part of a sample object has and first and second positional information defining a position of each element, selects either the first or the second positional information, acquires image characteristic information for a partial image that is in an image frame and considered as an element specified by the first positional information in a characteristic extraction method based on a first axis when the first positional information is selected, extracts image characteristic information for a partial image that is in an image frame and considered as an element specified by the second positional information in a characteristic extraction method based on a second axis, which is acquired by rotating the first axis, when the second positional information is selected, specifies element characteristic information for an element corresponding to a position of the partial image, and judges whether or not the characteristic part appears in the image frame with use of the specified element characteristic information and the extracted image characteristic information. | 11-18-2010 |
20110199499 | FACE RECOGNITION APPARATUS AND FACE RECOGNITION METHOD - Provided is a face recognition apparatus which reduces a data transfer amount used in eye position detection processing and face feature extraction processing. First normalization means normalizes a face image to a certain size on a face image including a face detected by face detection means. Part detection means detects a part of the face by using a normalized face image. Second normalization means normalizes a face image to a certain size on a face image including the face detected by the face detection means. Feature extraction means extracts a feature amount of the face by using the normalized face image. Face image acquisition means acquires a face image to be processed by the normalization means by using a position and a size of the face detected by the face detection means. Face image acquisition selection means switches between a mode in which the face images to be used by the normalization means are individually acquired and a mode in which the face image is shared therebetween. | 08-18-2011 |
20130156339 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD - The picture quality of captured images can be improved with the degradation of clearness of image-captured object boundaries suppressed. An image processing apparatus ( | 06-20-2013 |
20130215319 | IMAGE CAPTURE DEVICE, IMAGE CAPTURE DEVICE FOCUS CONTROL METHOD, AND INTEGRATED CIRCUIT - The stability is improved with which focus control is performed by an image capture device that brings a face region image into focus according to the contrast method. A human detection circuit | 08-22-2013 |
