Patent ID: 8085305

Claim:
An image processing apparatus comprising: a feature detection circuit adapted to detect a feature portion of an object from a sensed image; a blur amount detection circuit adapted to detect a blur amount of a device adapted to obtain the sensed image; a display unit adapted to display the sensed image, and to display a frame surrounding the feature portion of the object in the displayed sensed image; and a calculation circuit adapted to set a position, in the sensed image, of the frame surrounding the feature portion of the object, wherein said blur amount detection circuit detects the blur amount more than once during the time period that said feature detection circuit detects the feature portion of an object once, wherein said calculation circuit sets the position of the frame using the detected feature portion of the object when the feature detection circuit detects the feature portion of the object from the sensed image, and sets the position of the frame using the detected blur amount when the feature detection circuit does not detect the feature portion of the object from the sensed image, and wherein said display unit displays the frame on the sensed image in accordance with the position of the frame set by said calculation unit.
