Embodiment Construction

[0019] Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] The image display device of the present invention can be constituted by, for example, a digital photo frame, a personal computer, or the like. Next, a case where the image display device is configured as a digital photo frame 1 will be described. figure 1 It is a front view showing the appearance structure of the digital photo frame 1 .

[0021] On the front surface of a digital photo frame (digital photo frame) 1, a display unit 21 composed of, for example, a liquid crystal display or the like is provided. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the image displayed on the display unit 21 (hereinafter referred to as “display image”) includes the timepiece object 31 . Then, the viewer 11 viewing the displayed image of the digital photo frame 1 can know the current time by viewing the clock object 31 displayed on the display unit 21 .

Abstract

The invention relates to an image display apparatus and method. The image capturing unit 22 of an apparatus captures an image of a viewer 11 viewing a display image displayed in a display unit 21. The apparatus detects a face of the viewer 11 from the captured image. The apparatus determines a position of the face thus detected and a position of a light source 12, respectively. The apparatus detects a reflection area 61 from the display image (including a clock object 31) based on the positions of the face and the light source. Subsequently, the apparatus executes, on data of the display image, the image processing of adding a reflection effect to the reflection area. Then, the apparatus causes the display unit 21 to display the display image based on the data on which the image processing has been executed.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application is based on and claims priority from a prior application with a filing date of September 29, 2009 and an application number of JP Kokai No. 2009-224009, and the entire content thereof is hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to image processing technology, and relates to an image display device and method capable of presenting realistic and natural images to viewers, for example. Background technique [0004] Conventionally, there has been image processing that adds reflected light and shadows to an image to create a three-dimensional effect (for example, refer to JP-A-2007-328460). [0005] However, in conventional image processing, when adding reflected light and shadows to an image, the presence of a viewer viewing the image was not considered at all. Therefore, in conventional image processing, for an image exhibiting a three-dimensional effect, t...
