摘要

A control section (11) of a digital camera (10) transforms at least a part of a captured image of a face based on a predetermined type of transformation. The control section (11) includes: an image obtaining section (20) which obtains the captured image of the face; a characteristic point detecting section (22) which detects a characteristic point from the captured image of the face, the characteristic point characterizing the face; a control point setting section (23) which sets control points and a movement amount vector of the control points for the captured image, based on the detected characteristic point and on an arrangement pattern and a movement pattern each corresponding to the predetermined type of transformation; a grid point setting section (24) which sets grid points for the captured image, and sets a movement amount vector of the grid points based on the control points and the movement amount vector of the control points; and an image transforming section (25) which transforms an image are by moving the grid points based on the movement amount vector of the grid points, the image area being a quadrangle, the grid points being four vertices of the quadrangle. According to this, it is possible to reduce a processing load in image transformation.
