Facial image display apparatus, facial image display method, and facial image display program
First Claim
1. A facial image display apparatus comprising:
- a memory, one or more processors configured to execute instructions stored on said memory to embody;
a detector that detects areas containing faces in a target image displaying a plurality of faces, wherein the target image is a still image;
wherein the detector creates, using the areas containing faces, a path across the still image connecting the detected areas containing faces;
a moving image creating unit that creates a moving image in which a camera scrolls across the target image according to the path,wherein the moving image contains the areas containing faces from the target image;
a time estimator that estimates the time needed to detect facial areas in one or a plurality of other target images; and
wherein the facial image display apparatus outputs the moving image on a display on the basis of a plurality of target images;
wherein a time duration of the moving image is determined on the basis of the detection time estimated by the detection time estimating means.

Abstract
The present invention provides a facial image display apparatus that can display moving images concentrated on the face when images of people'"'"'s faces are displayed. A facial image display apparatus is provided wherein a facial area detecting unit (21) detects facial areas in which faces are displayed from within a target image for displaying a plurality of faces; a dynamic extraction area creating unit (22) creates, based on the facial areas detected by the facial area detecting means, a dynamic extraction area of which at least one of position and surface area varies over time in the target image; and a moving image output unit (27) sequentially extracts images in the dynamic extraction area and outputs the extracted images as a moving image.

13. A facial image display method executed on a computer comprising:
-
detecting at least two feature areas, including one or more areas containing faces in a target image displaying a plurality of faces, wherein the target image is a still image; automatically creating, using the detected feature areas, a path across the still image connecting the detected feature areas; and creating a moving image in which a camera scrolls across the target image according to the path, wherein the moving image contains the detected areas containing faces from the target image, wherein, when a distance between two areas containing faces is less than a predetermined value, the two areas containing faces are considered a single feature area when the path is being determined.

14. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon a program comprising the steps of:
-
detecting at least two feature areas, including one or more areas containing faces in a target image displaying a plurality of faces, wherein the target image is a still image; automatically creating, using the detected feature areas, a path across the still image connecting the detected feature areas; and creating a moving image in which a camera scrolls across the target image according to the path, wherein the moving image contains the detected areas containing faces from the target image, wherein, when a distance between two areas containing faces is less than a predetermined value, the two areas containing faces are considered a single feature area when the path is being determined.
