Abstract:
Processing for judging whether a face is included in a frame is performed, in a predetermined interval, on each of frames included in a moving image of a subject, displayed on a monitor, until the judgment becomes positive. If it is judged that a face is included in a frame, the facial position is detected in the frame, and stored. Then, judgment is made as to whether a face is included in the next frame after predetermined time. If the judgment is positive, the facial position is detected. The previously stored facial position is replaced by the newly detected facial position, and the newly detected facial position is stored. These processes are repeated until photographing operation is performed by operating a release unit.

Claim (Index 1):
A non-transitory computer readable medium of a camera device, the computer readable medium storing a program for causing a processor to execute an image processing method, wherein the camera device generates a moving image of a subject by continuously taking photographs of the subject, the camera device including:\n a display for displaying information including the moving image, a user interface that initiates a photographing operation to generate a photograph of the subject, the photograph comprising image data; and memory for storing information including the image data, the program comprising instructions for processing successive frames of the moving image until terminated responsive to a release input from a user, the processing comprising:\n determining whether a human face is included in the frame; \n detecting a facial position in the frame if the determining step determines that a face is included in the frame; \n storing the detected facial position in the memory; \n wherein the determining of whether a human face is included in the frame comprises:\n determining whether a human face is included in a first frame of the successive frames; \n if a human face is not determined to be in the first frame, repeating the determining on a next frame of the successive frames; and \n if a human face is determined to be in the first frame, determining whether a human face is included in a next frame of the successive frames; and \n wherein the determining of whether a human face is included in the next frame of the successive frames comprises:\n processing only pixels in the next frame located in a region corresponding to a region of the first frame in which the human face was detected.
