PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce a processing load for detecting a specific image region.SOLUTION: A storage unit 20 stores a plurality of kinds of discriminators as detecting information for detecting a specific image region such as a face. An acquisition unit 41 sequentially acquires image data. A detection unit 43 detects a specific image region such as a face in the image data acquired by the acquisition unit 41 using the plurality of kinds of detecting information stored in the storage unit 20. A discriminator control unit 51 selects specific detecting information from the plurality of kinds of detecting information on the basis of a result of detection by the detection unit 43.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To properly compose a plurality of images by properly determining correspondence of feature points relating to said images. SOLUTION: The present invention relates to an imaging apparatus 100 for consecutively picking up a plurality of images wherein a video signal processing section 13 measures the luminance of pixels within a feature point including area of the images, corrects the luminance of the pixels within the feature point including area so as to reduce lightness/darkness difference with respect to the highest luminance in the luminance of the pixels of the relevant feature point including area, calculates an absolute value sum of differentials of pixel values within the feature point including area based on the luminance corrected pixels in the relevant feature point including area, and composes a plurality of image informed determining that feature points are corresponding to each other based on the absolute value sum that does not exceed a predetermined threshold value.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable anybody to easily obtain a panning image whose background seems to be panned while a subject in motion is made stationary when the subject in motion is photographed. SOLUTION: A control section 32 is equipped with: a means for acquiring a plurality of successive image data from a CCD 32 in specified timing; a means for specifying main subject parts from the respective image data; a means for detecting relative shift quantities of the specified subject parts between the respective image data and the shift direction; and a means for composing the respective image data according to the shift quantities and shift direction that main subject parts overlap in the same position. Consequently, when the subject in motion is photographed, anybody can easily obtain the panning image whose background seems to be panned while the subject is made stationary without moving the camera to accurately follow up the movement of the subject.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image processing device, capable of blur compensation of the images taken in an environment which needs exposure over a long periods of time, such as at night or inside a dark room. SOLUTION: Feature point is extracted from two or more image frames, and the blur direction of a point frame image is determined from the motion vector of the following frame image, obtained with reference to the extracted feature point. Based on the determination result, the image in the identical blur direction is selected from among two or more image frames and is grouped. The position compensation is carried out, and the group composition image which carried out additive compositing is formed for each group so that the feature point of the grouped images may be in agreement. The blurring compensated image is generated by the additive compositing so that the reverse filter processing matched with the group rectifying the blur direction component is performed to group composited image data. The blurring compensation according to group is performed, and the feature point of each group composition images, by which blurring compensation has been carried out agrees.
