Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, in various subjects or general scenes, there may be a phenomenon that it is not possible to take pictures with an ideal composition or a composition that feels good
In order to avoid this phenomenon, even if adopting the existing Japanese patent publication No. 2006-148344, Japanese Patent publication No. 06-30349, Japanese Patent publication No. 2002-232753, and Japanese Patent publication No. evasion countermeasures, and it is difficult to effectively evade

no. 1 Embodiment approach

[0026] Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

[0027] figure 1 It is a diagram showing the hardware configuration of the image processing device 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The image processing device 100 can be constituted by, for example, a digital camera.

[0028] The image processing device 100 includes: an optical lens device 1, a shutter device 2, an actuator 3, a CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) sensor 4, an AFE (Analog Front End) 5, a TG (Timing Generator) 6, and a DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) 7 , DSP (Digital Signal Processor) 8, CPU (Central Processor Unit) 9, RAM (Random Access Memory) 10, ROM (Read Only Memory) 11, liquid crystal display controller 12, liquid crystal display 13, operation unit 14, memory card 15 , a ranging sensor 16 and a photometric sensor 17.

[0029] The optical lens device 1 is constituted by, for example, a focus lens, a zoo...

no. 2 Embodiment approach

[0259] Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0260] Among them, the hardware configuration of the image processing device according to the second embodiment of the present invention and the hardware configuration of the image processing device 100 according to the first embodiment figure 1 The hardware configuration is basically the same. In addition, the function of CPU9 also has the above-mentioned each function which CPU9 of 1st Embodiment has.

[0261] The image processing device 100 according to the second embodiment also has a function of presenting various scenes to the user based on functions such as "picture mode" and "BEST SHOT (registered trademark)".

[0262] Figure 12 An example in which information (hereinafter referred to as scene information) capable of specifying a plurality of kinds of scenes is displayed as a display example of the liquid crystal display 13 is shown.

[0263] Scene information 201 indicates a scene of "m...

Abstract

It is an object of the present invention to provide an image processing device capable of capturing an image of various objects and common scenes with ideal compositions and attractive compositions. The image processing device predicts an attention region 52 for a through image 51, based on a saliency map S having a plurality of feature quantity maps Fc, Fh, and Fs integrated therein (steps Sa toSc). The image processing device extracts line components (e.g., edge SL) of an edge image 53 (step Se, Sf) corresponding to the through image 51. The image processing device uses the attention region 52, the line components (e.g., edge component SL), or the like and identifies, from among a plurality of model composition suggestions, a model composition suggestion that resembles the through image 51 in regard to a state of positioning of the principal object.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image processing device and method, and in particular to a technology for shooting with an ideal composition or a composition with a good feeling in various objects or general scenes. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, when a user takes a picture with a camera, a photographed image that is not intended may be obtained in some cases. In order to avoid such a failure, various avoidance countermeasures have been proposed. [0003] For example, when it is intended to photograph the entire scenery around a person or the like, there may be a phenomenon that the person or the like is shrunk down and photographed. Countermeasures for avoiding this phenomenon are proposed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2006-148344 and the like. [0004] For example, the user can use a lens with a small F number (large aperture) or open the aperture to reduce the F number so that the aiming point matches only the fo...
