Abstract

An image processing device includes an item image acquisition unit that acquires an item image, a model image acquisition unit that acquires a model image, a correction unit that corrects a tilt of a correction target region being at least a part of an item region being a region where an item is shown in the item image so that a direction of a center of gravity position of the correction target region with respect to a support position of the correction target region is along a direction of gravity in the model image, and an output unit that outputs the model image and the item region so that the item region is displayed superimposed on the model image. A composite image closer to the state where the item is actually worn on the human body is thereby provided.

Claims

1. An image processing device comprising:

an item image acquisition unit configured to acquire an item image displaying an item being accessory worn dangling down;

a model image acquisition unit configured to acquire a model image where a part on which the item is to be worn is shown;

a correction unit configured to correct a tilt of a correction target region being at least a part of an item region being a region where an item is shown in the item image so that a direction of a center of gravity position of the correction target region with respect to a support position of the correction target region is along a direction of gravity in the model image; and

an output unit configured to output the model image and the item region so that the item region is displayed superimposed on the model image.

2. The image processing device according to claim 1, wherein

the correction unit corrects the tilt of the correction target region being a whole part of the item region, and

the support position is a position where an attachment portion of the item is shown in the item region.

3. The image processing device according to claim 1, wherein

when the item includes a plurality of parts joined to each other through a joint portion in a manner that is able to swing,

the correction target region is a region where at least another part is shown in an item region where an item including one part and said another part joined to each other through a joint portion is shown, and

the support position is a joint end in the correction target region on a side of the one part.

4. The image processing device according to claim 3, wherein

the correction unit specifies a region in which a length of the region where an item is shown along a predetermined direction in the item image is shorter than adjacent regions in a predetermined range by at least a predetermined amount of difference as the joint portion and specifies the adjacent regions as regions where parts are shown.

5. The image processing device according to claim 1, further comprising:

a specifying unit configured to specify a direction of gravity in the model image based on information that can be acquired from the model image, wherein

the correction unit corrects a tilt of the correction target region based on the direction of gravity specified by the specifying unit.

6. The image processing device according to claim 1, wherein

when an item image whose vertical direction is specified is acquired by the item image acquisition unit, the correction unit specifies an uppermost portion in the item region as the attachment portion.

7. The image processing device according to claim 1, wherein

the correction unit adjusts a size of the item region so that a ratio of a size of a part on which the item is to be worn in the model image and a size of the item region is substantially equal to a ratio of an actual size of a part on which the item is to be worn and an actual size of the item based on a size of the part on which the item is to be worn in the model image acquired from the model image, information about the actual size of the part set in advance, a size of the item region in the item image acquired from the item image, and information about an actual size of the item stored in advance.

8. The image processing device according to claim 1, wherein

the output unit specifies a part on which the item is to be worn in the model image by searching for the model image using a template indicating characteristics of a part on which the item is to be worn, and superimposes the item region on the model image so that a position where the attachment portion of the item is shown comes at the part on which the item is to be worn in the model image.

9. An image processing method executed by a computer, the method comprising:

an item image acquisition step of acquiring an item image displaying an item being accessory worn dangling down;

a model image acquisition step of acquiring a model image where a part on which the item is to be worn is shown;

a correction step of correcting a tilt of a correction target region being at least a part of an item region being a region where an item is shown in the item image so that a direction of a center of gravity position of the correction target region with respect to a support position of the correction target region is along a direction of gravity in the model image; and

an output step of outputting the model image and the item region so that the item region is displayed superimposed on the model image.
