IMAGING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD AND COMPUTER PROGRAM
First Claim
1. An imaging apparatus comprising:
- image pickup means for capturing an image of a subject;
image input means for inputting the image captured by the image pickup means;
face detecting means for detecting a face from the image input by the image input means;
face position marker generating means for generating a face position marker indicating a position of the face, detected by the face detecting means, in the image input by the image input means;
overlaying means for overlaying the face position marker generated by the face position marker generating means and the image input by the image input means; and
display means for displaying an image overlaid by the overlaying means.
