Image processing apparatus, method of processing image, and computer-readable storage medium

Abstract

A method of processing an image involves detecting a face from a first image; determining a composition of the first image; selecting a composition of a second image according to the composition of the first image; and generating the second image including the face by trimming the first image, according to the composition of the second image.

         21 . An image processing apparatus comprising:
 a processor configured to:
 detect a face from a first image; 
 determine whether a trimming condition is satisfied based on the detected face; and 
 generate a second image comprising the detected face by trimming the first image, if the trimming condition is satisfied. 
   
     
     
         22 . The image processing apparatus of  claim 21 , wherein the processor is configured to determine the trimming condition based on at least one of a position of the detected face and a size of the detected face. 
     
     
         23 . The image processing apparatus of  claim 21 , wherein the processor is configured to determine the trimming condition by determining whether the detected face is included in a reference area of the first image. 
     
     
         24 . The image processing apparatus of  claim 21 , wherein the processor is configured to determine the trimming condition by determining whether a size of the detected face is within a predetermined range. 
     
     
         25 . The image processing apparatus of  claim 21 , wherein the processor is further configured to select a composition of the second image, if the trimming condition is satisfied. 
     
     
         26 . The image processing apparatus of  claim 21 , wherein the processor is further configured to adjust the clearness of a face and the clearness of a background in the second image. 
     
     
         27 . An image processing apparatus comprising:
 a processor configured to:
 detect a plurality of faces from a first image; 
 determine a face to be included in a second image from among the plurality of faces; and 
 generate the second image comprising the determined face by trimming the first image. 
   
     
     
         28 . The image processing apparatus of  claim 27 , wherein the processor is configured to determine a face to be included in the second image based on a size of each of the plurality of faces. 
     
     
         29 . The image processing apparatus of  claim 27 , wherein the processor is configured to determine a face to be included in the second image based on a largest face among the plurality of faces. 
     
     
         30 . The image processing apparatus of  claim 27 , wherein the processor is further configured to select a composition of the second image based on the size of each of the plurality of faces or the distance between the plurality of faces. 
     
     
         31 . The image processing apparatus of  claim 27 , wherein the processor is configured to generate the second image by separately trimming each of the plurality of faces. 
     
     
         32 . The image processing apparatus of  claim 27 , wherein the processor is configured to generate the second image by performing a trimming operation to comprise two or more faces from among the plurality of faces. 
     
     
         33 . The image processing apparatus of  claim 27 , wherein the processor is further configured to adjust the clearness of a face and the clearness of a background in the second image. 
     
     
         34 . A method of processing an image, the method comprising:
 detecting a face from a first image;   determining whether a trimming condition is satisfied based on the detected face; and   generating a second image comprising the detected face by trimming the first image, if the trimming condition is satisfied.   
     
     
         35 . The method of  claim 34 , wherein the determining whether a trimming condition is satisfied comprises determining the trimming condition based on at least one of a position of the detected face and a size of the detected face. 
     
     
         36 . The method of  claim 34 , wherein the determining whether a trimming condition is satisfied comprises determining whether the detected face is included in a reference area of the first image. 
     
     
         37 . The method of  claim 34 , wherein the determining whether a trimming condition is satisfied comprises determining whether a size of the detected face is within a predetermined range. 
     
     
         38 . The method of  claim 34 , further comprising, before generating the second image, selecting a composition of the second image if the trimming condition is satisfied. 
     
     
         39 . The method of  claim 34 , further comprising performing a post-processing operation for adjusting the clearness of a face and the clearness of a background in the second image.
