1. An image processing device comprising:
- a subject detection portion that detects predetermined subjects from an input image and that sets one of the detected subjects as a main subject and another of the detected subjects as a sub-subject;
a determination portion that determines a degree of relationship between the main subject and the sub-subject based on degree-of-relationship information, wherein the degree-of-relationship information indicates strength of relationship between the main subject and the sub-subject;
a clip region setting portion that sets a clip region in the input image based on positions of the main subject and the sub-subject in the input image and the degree of relationship; and
a clipping portion that clips the clip region from the input image to generate a clipped imagewherein the degree-of-relationship includes at least one of (a) to (d) below;
(a) orientations of faces of the main subject and the sub-subject;
(b) a degree of similarity of face between the main subject and the sub-subject;
(c) a degree of similarity of color between the main subject and the sub-subject; and
(d) a ratio between a number of images that are sequentially input as the input image and a number of input images including the sub-subject.

Abstract
A clipping processing portion is provided with: a subject detection portion that detects a main subject and a sub-subject from an input image; a degree-of-relationship calculation portion that calculates the degree of relationship between the main subject and the sub-subject; a clip region setting portion that sets a clip region based on the positions of the main subject and the sub-subject in the input image and the degree of relationship; a clipping portion that clips the clip region from the input image. The clip region setting portion sets the clip region so as to include the main subject and the sub-subject having the high degree of relationship thereof.

6. An image processing method comprising, performing the following steps via a processor:
-
detecting predetermined subjects from an input image and setting one of the detected subjects as a main subject and another of the detected subjects as a sub-subject; determining a degree of relationship between the main subject and the sub-subject based on degree of information, wherein the degree-of-relationship information indicates strength of relationship between the main subject and the sub-subject; setting a clip region in the input image based on positions of the main subject and the sub-subject in the input image and the degree of relationship; and clipping, from the input image, the clip region to generate a clipped image wherein the degree-of-relationship includes at least one of (a) to (d) below; (a) orientations of faces of the main subject and the sub-subject; (b) a degree of similarity of face between the main subject and the sub-subject; (c) a degree of similarity of color between the main subject and the sub-subject; and (d) a ratio between a number of images that are sequentially input as the input image and a number of input images including the sub-subject.
