Image-capturing device and method for removing strangers from an image
First Claim
1. An image-capturing device for removing an unwanted object from an image, comprising:
- an image-input module, for receiving a first image;
an image-identifying module, for identifying at least a target-image and at least an unwanted object in the first image;
an unwanted object processing module, for performing an unwanted object processing step to remove the unwanted object from the first image and generating a second image; and
an output module, for outputting the first image skipping the unwanted object processing step or the second image after the unwanted object processing step.

Abstract
An image-capturing device and method for removing strangers from an image are described. First, a first image is input. Then, a control module determines if an unwanted object processing step is needed, and obtains a result. If the result is no, the first image is directly sent to an output module. If the result is yes, an image-identifying module begins to identify the target-image and the unwanted object in the first image, and then, an unwanted object processing module starts the step to process unwanted images. The unwanted object processing step can remove the unwanted object from an image and fill the left lacuna region. Afterwards, a second image is produced and sent to the output module.

7. An image-capturing method, suitable in an image-capturing device for removing an unwanted object from an image, the image-capturing method comprising:
-
inputting a first image;
determining if an unwanted object processing step should be performed on the first image, and obtaining a result;
if the result is no, directly sending the first image to an output module;
if the result is yes, starting an identifying step to identify at least a target-image and at least an unwanted object in the first image, and performing an unwanted object processing step to generate a second image;
sending the second image to the output module; and
the output module outputting the first image or the second image. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
