Image processing device and image processing method, and imaging device

摘要

Disclosed is an image processing apparatus in which the cheek of a person captured in an image of a photo may be corrected to a finish with the cheek looking slimmer than in a two-dimensional photo. A face correction unit ( 400 ) calculates, in a calculation unit ( 411 ), a face length L 1 and a cheek width L 2 of a face of a person as an object and L 3 corrected from the face length L 1 . A face classifying unit ( 412 ) compares L 2 and L 3 to each other to classify the face shape into a 'round shape', 'a long shape' and a 'square shape'. Depending on the results of classification, the image trimming is carried out by a first contour correction unit ( 413 ), a second contour correction unit ( 414 ), and a third contour correction unit ( 415 ) so that the cheek will look slim.
