IMAGE EXTRACTION DEVICE, IMAGE EXTRACTION METHOD, IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND IMAGING DEVICE

摘要

An image extracting apparatus is provided which can automatically finish a captured image of a person to provide an easy-to-view picture. It includes an image input unit (101) supplied with a captured color image of the person to output it as digital data, a flesh-color region extraction unit (200) supplied with the digital image data to detect a flesh-color region in the image, an object-image detection unit (300) to detect an object image from the detected flesh-color region, and a trimming unit (400) to trim the detected object image. On the assumption that a region extending from the top end (600a) of a certificate picture (600) to the head top TOH of a person (601) is an overhead region A, a region extending from the head top TOH to the jaw HOC is a face region B and a region extending from the jaw HOC to the bottom end (600b) of the certificate picture is a chest region C, the trimming unit (400) trims the image so that the dimensional ratio between these regions A, B and C is 1 : 0.4 to 0.8 : 0.1 to 0.26.
