Image processing apparatus and storage medium storing image processing program
First Claim
1. An image processing apparatus, comprising:
- an imager which electronically photographs an object;
an image display which displays said object photographed by said imager;
an imaging guide displaying mechanism which displays on said image display an imaging guide indicative of a position of a predetermined region of a face;
an operating mechanism which inputs data in response to an operation by an operator, or obtains an operation input;
an extracting mechanism which a portion, matching with a display position of said imaging guide, from one image obtained by said imager in response to the operation input from said operating mechanism, and stores it as a region image;
still image storage locations which store another image obtained by said imager as a still image in response to the operation input from said operating mechanism;
a composing mechanism which composes said region image stored by said extracting mechanism and said still image stored at said still image storage locations; and
a composite image display mechanism which displays on said image display a composite image composed by said composing mechanism.

Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes a CPU and an imaging unit. In this image processing apparatus, an image captured by the imaging unit is displayed on an LCD together with an imaging index, indicative of a predetermined region of a face. In response to a shutter operation by an operator, a portion, matching with a position of the imaging index, is extracted from the image data as a region image. Furthermore, in response to a shutter operation, another image captured by the imaging unit is stored as a still image. Then, the region image and the still image are composed with each other to display a composite image, obtained by pasting the image of the predetermined region of the face on to another image. In addition, with respect to the composite image, the region image is deformed according to a feature of the data from the imaging unit, an elapsed time without an operation input, and so on.

4. A storage medium storing an image processing program for composing and displaying the photographed image in an image processing apparatus provided with an imager which electronically photographs an object, an image display which displays the object photographed by said imager, and an operating mechanism which inputs data in response to an operation by an operator or obtains an operation input, wherein
said image processing program causes a processor of said image processing apparatus to execute the steps of: -
an imaging guide displaying step of displaying on said image display an imaging guide indicative of a position of a predetermined region of a face;
an extracting step of extracting a portion matching with a display position of said imaging guide from one image obtained by said imager in response to the operation input from said operating mechanism, and storing it as a region a still image storing step of storing, as a still image, another image obtained by said imager in response to the operation input from said operating mechanism;
a composing step of composing said region image stored by said extracting step and said still image stored by said still image storing step; and
a composite image displaying step of displaying on said image display a composite image composed by said composing step. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6)

7. An image processing apparatus, comprising:
-
an imager which electronically photographs an object;
an image display which displays the object photographed by said imager;
an imaging guide display which displays on said image display imaging guides representative of positions of regions of a face such that they surround at least both eyes and mouth of said face;
an operating mechanism which performs an input operation by an operator;
an extracting mechanism which extracts the images of the regions of at least both eyes and mouth surrounded by said imaging guides from a first image first obtained in response to said operating mechanism, and storing stores them as region images;
still image storage locations which store, as a still image, a second image obtained successive to the first image in response to said operating mechanism;
a composing mechanism for composing said region image stored by said extracting mechanism and said still image stored at said still image storing storage locations;
a composite image display mechanism which displays on said image display a composite image composed by said composing mechanism;
an evaluating mechanism which extracts feature data of the photographed image from optical information of the photographed image obtained by said imager, and evaluates said feature data; and
a deforming mechanism which deforms said region image according to said evaluating mechanism, wherein said composing mechanism, when said region image is deformed according to said deforming mechanism, composes said deformed region image and said still image, and displays it on said image display.
