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 11):
Camera apparatus for generating a photograph of a subject, wherein the camera apparatus generates a moving image of the subject by continuously taking photographs of the subject, the moving image comprising multiple successive frames, with each frame including frame image data representing images in the frame, the camera apparatus comprising:\n a display for displaying information including the moving image; a release button that, when pressed, initiates a photographing operation to generate the photograph of the subject, the photograph comprising image data; memory for storing information including the image data; a central processing unit; and a computer readable medium storing a program for causing the central processing unit to process the successive frames of the moving image, the program comprising instructions for: image processing the frame image data of each frame of the moving image until the release button is determined to have been pressed, the image processing comprising:\n performing human facial analysis on the frame image data of the frame to determine whether the frame image data includes a human face; \n detecting a facial position in the frame if the frame image data is determined to include a human face; \n storing the detected facial position in the memory; and \n wherein the performing of human facial analysis 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.
