Image processing method and image processing device
First Claim
1. An image processing method usable in an image processing system, the image processing system performing image processing with respect to a video input thereto and displaying a result of the image processing, the image processing method comprising:
- determining whether an operation mode of the system is a control mode or a view mode, the system performing still image display in the control mode and performing video display in the view mode; and
performing processing in accordance with the operation mode, whereinwhen the system is in the control mode, the processing in accordance with the operation mode comprises;
each time a video frame image is input, performing frame determination processing of determining whether the video frame image includes a face image of a subject of the image processing; and
when the frame determination processing determines that the video frame image includes a face image of the subject,performing reception processing of setting the one video frame image as an image to be displayed for receiving control related to the image processing, displaying the one video frame image as a still image, receiving a specification of at least one area of the one video frame image displayed as a still image and receiving user control for specifying operations of the image processing to be performed on the subject via the at least one area of the one video frame image displayed as a still image, and causing the system to refrain from performing the frame determination processing with respect to any video frame image subsequent to the one video frame image, andwhen the system transitions to the view mode from the control mode, the processing in accordance with the operation mode comprises;
each time a video frame image is input, performing the image processing with respect to an image of the subject in the video frame image based on the specified operations of the image processing; and
displaying the result of the image processing for the user to view.

Abstract
An image processing method including: determining whether an operation mode of a system is a control mode for still image display or a view mode for video display; and performing processing in accordance with the operation mode. Processing in the control mode includes: specifying a specific video frame image including a suitable image of a subject of image processing, from among video frame images of a video constituted of a plurality of video frame images each including an image of the subject; displaying the specific video frame image as a still image; and receiving control related to image processing from a user. Processing in the view mode includes: performing image processing with respect to each video frame image that is input, one video frame image at a time; and displaying the result of image processing for the user to view.
