Embodiment approach 1

[0030] figure 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a digital camera 100 as an example of the image editing apparatus according to the first embodiment of the invention. figure 1 The illustrated digital camera 100 has a microprocessor unit (MPU) 101, an operation unit 102, a camera lens 103, an autofocus (AF) circuit 104, an aperture mechanism 105, an aperture control circuit 106, an imaging element 107, an analog front end (AFE) Circuit 108, image processing circuit 109, display control circuit 110, display panel 111, focus determination circuit 112, face detection circuit 113, facial expression detection circuit 114, compression / decompression circuit 115, recording control circuit 116, recording medium 117 , an auxiliary lighting circuit 118 , a reflection pattern detection circuit 119 and a communication circuit 120 . The digital camera 100 is communicably connected to the server 400 through the network 300 .

Embodiment approach 2

[0075] Next, a second embodiment of the invention will be described. The second embodiment is for confirming a combined reflective image when a through image is displayed before taking a picture. The constitution of digital camera 100 and figure 1 What is explained is the same, and therefore an explanation thereof will be omitted.

[0076] Figure 11 is a flowchart showing the operation of the digital camera 100 of the second embodiment of the present invention.

[0077] exist Figure 11, the MPU 101 judges whether the operation mode of the digital camera 100 is the photographing mode (step S21). If the operation mode is judged to be the shooting mode in the judgment of step 21, the MPU 101 executes various controls to display the image to be framed on the display panel 111 (step S22). Then, the MPU 101 utilizes the Figure 4 The technique described in the process of step S5 in the following method is used to detect the position and size of the pupil (step S23).

Abstract

The present invention provides an image editing device and a method of controlling the image editing device. The image editing apparatus includes an image input unit including a camera circuit (107) that photographs a subject to obtain an image of the subject. A face detection circuit (113) detects a face image of a subject from the image obtained by the image input unit. A facial expression detection circuit (114) detects at least any one of an orientation and an expression of a subject's face based on the facial image detected by the face detection circuit. A pupil detection circuit detects a pupil image of a subject based on a face image detected by the face detection circuit. A reflection synthesis circuit (101) synthesizes different reflections on the pupil image detected by the pupil detection circuit according to any one of the face direction and expression detected by the facial expression detection circuit.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image editing device, a method of controlling the image editing device, and a recording medium storing an image editing program, which synthesize catch-light on an image of a subject's face. Background technique [0002] In portrait photography, there is known a technique of making a face stand out by inserting reflections in the eyes of a subject such as a model. You can emphasize or intensify the expression on a subject's face by inserting such reflections. In general, human faces have multiple expressions, such as happy, angry, and worried. There is an optimal reflection for each facial expression. [0003] Light rays acting on the subject are reflected on the spherical surface of the cornea of ​​the subject's eye, and the reflected light is exposed by the imaging element, thereby producing a reflection. Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2001-91979 discloses a technique for generating such reflected l...
