IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD THEREOF, PROGRAM, AND IMAGE CAPTURING APPARATUS
First Claim
1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a model storage unit adapted to store model information representing a subject model belonging to a specific category;
a detection unit adapted to detect the subject from an input image by referring to the model information;
a determination unit adapted to determine a region for which an image correction is to be performed within a region occupied by the detected subject in the input image;
a correction data set storage unit adapted to store, for a local region of the image, a plurality of correction data sets representing correspondence between a feature vector representing a feature before correction and a feature vector representing a feature after correction;
a selection unit adapted to select, from said correction data set storage unit, at least one of the correction data sets to be used to correct a local region included in the region determined to undergo the image correction; and
a correction unit adapted to correct the region determined to undergo the image correction using the selected correction data sets.

Abstract
An image processing apparatus stores model information representing a subject model belonging to a specific category, detects the subject from an input image by referring to the model information, determines a region for which an image correction is to be performed within a region occupied by the detected subject in the input image, stores, for a local region of the image, a plurality of correction data sets representing correspondence between a feature vector representing a feature before correction and a feature vector representing a feature after correction, selects at least one of the correction data sets to be used to correct a local region included in the region determined to undergo the image correction, and corrects the region determined to undergo the image correction using the selected correction data sets.

10. An image processing method of an image processing apparatus including a model storage unit adapted to store model information representing a subject model belonging to a specific category, and a correction data set storage unit adapted to store, for a local region of the image, a plurality of correction data sets representing correspondence between a feature vector representing a feature before correction and a feature vector representing a feature after correction, the method comprising:
-
detecting the subject from an input image by referring to the model information; determining a region for which an image correction is to be performed within a region occupied by the detected subject in the input image; selecting, from the correction data set storage unit, at least one of the correction data sets to be used to correct a local region included the region determined to undergo the image correction; and correcting the region determined to undergo the image correction using the selected correction data sets.
