Receive selected the incident of " red-eye correction is handled automatically " pattern by the user after, in camera inside, carry out and the same red-eye correction of S2 step of Fig. 4 is handled (S22 step).,
In the detection of the blood-shot eye illness part in the photographs of S22 in the step, when not detecting the blood-shot eye illness part (the S23 step is "No"), view data with the expression photographs writes down (S26 step) as jpeg file by medium controller 224 shown in Figure 3 in recording medium 240.
Have again,, in the imaging signal processing circuit 222 of Fig. 3,, add the priority when confirming implemented the blood-shot eye illness part after automatic red-eye correction is handled by the 22nd step if detect (the S23 step is "Yes") when seeing red part.In the present embodiment, at first, according to " central authorities of blood-shot eye illness part medium distance photography picture are near more " priority is high more, " area of blood-shot eye illness part is big more " priority is high more then determines priority (S24 step) like that.After the additional priority,, on LCD display panel 108 shown in Figure 2, amplify demonstration (S25, S27 step) with the image of blood-shot eye illness part in the red-eye correction result images of having implemented after automatic red-eye correction is handled, that preferred order is the highest.
The user confirms the blood-shot eye illness part of the face that amplifies on LCD display panel 108, when being judged as this blood-shot eye illness has partly been carried out certain detection and when suitably revising, pressed menu shown in Figure 2/OK switch 111.After pressing menu/OK switch 111, determine automatic red-eye correction processing (the S28 step is "Yes") to the blood-shot eye illness part of the face after this amplification.
Have again, implemented the affirmation result of the blood-shot eye illness part after automatic red-eye correction is handled for the eye portion after amplifying by the S27 step, be judged to be in the detection of blood-shot eye illness part or implemented in revising that flase drop is surveyed or during inappropriate corrections, pressed cancellation switch 116 shown in Figure 2 (the S25 step is a "No") by the user.After pressing cancellation switch 116 switches, blood-shot eye illness detection or the correction (S29 step) partly that cancellation is carried out the face after amplifying.
After determining/cancelling that automatic red-eye correction is handled, turn back to the S25 step, if determining/cancelling outside the personage of automatic red-eye correction processing, also exist when having implemented personage after automatic red-eye correction is handled (the S25 step is "Yes") by the 22nd step, in the personage who determine/has cancelled outside the personage that automatic red-eye correction handles, after having the blood-shot eye illness face of the thinking amplification partly of limit priority, on LCD display panel 108 shown in Figure 2, show (S27 step).
Below, S27, S28, the processing in S29 step are carried out (the S25 step is a "Yes") repeatedly till definite/cancellation of all personages after having implemented automatic red-eye correction processing by the S22 step having been carried out this automatic red-eye correction processing.After definite/cancellation that all automatic red-eye correction are handled finished, the view data with expression red-eye correction result images write down (S26 step) as jpeg file by medium controller 224 shown in Figure 3 in recording medium 240.
At this, one of the every increase of personage of the automatic red-eye correction processing of definite/cancellation, the priority reduction of the blood-shot eye illness part in the personage's face that on LCD display panel 108, shows.Therefore, after carrying out S27, S28, the processing in S29 step repeatedly, when the blood-shot eye illness part of the face after judging amplification was not very important, the user was by pressing cancellation switch 116 shown in Figure 2, the processing in step can be write down the red-eye correction result images from S25 stepping people to S26.
Like this, by unfavorable condition additional priority to personage's eye, begin to confirm from the high unfavorable condition of priority, only important unfavorable condition is confirmed, can save for the affirmation operation of the low unfavorable condition of the middle relative importance values that occur such as eye of passer.
More than, finish the explanation of the 2nd execution mode among the present invention, below the 3rd execution mode of the present invention is described.The camera of present embodiment, have with Fig. 1 to the identical formation of the camera 100 of the 1st execution mode shown in Figure 3, also adopting these Fig. 1 to describe in description of the present embodiment to Fig. 3.
In the Electrofax of present embodiment as feature of the present invention, have " the 1st automatic red-eye correction is handled " pattern and " the 2nd automatic red-eye correction is handled " pattern, in this camera 100, by the operation of cross options button 110, can be to detecting the blood-shot eye illness part in the shot object image and revising detected blood-shot eye illness " the 1st automatic red-eye correction is handled " pattern and " the 2nd automatic red-eye correction is handled " pattern partly and select.
The flow chart of the operating process when Figure 13 has represented to select " the 1st automatic red-eye correction is handled " pattern.
At first, by function selecting bar 113 shown in Figure 2 is placed on " image record " side 113a selects " the image record " function, rotate by making photograph mode dial key 112, select desirable photograph mode, after further selecting " the 1st automatic red-eye correction is handled " pattern according to the operation of cross options button 110, press shutter key 105, take (S101 step).
At this, Fig. 5 represents the example by the photographs after the S101 step shooting.
At this, expression is dialled key 112 by photograph mode shown in Figure 2 and is selected " personage's photography " pattern, after further selecting " the 1st automatic red-eye correction is handled " pattern according to the operation of cross options button 110, press shutter key 105, the example of the photographs after 3 people's personage 410,420,430 is taken.
Then, receive the incident of having selected " the 1st automatic red-eye correction is handled " pattern according to the operation of cross options button 110 shown in Figure 2, the blood-shot eye illness of being taken in the photographs that obtains by the S101 step is partly detected, begun to revise the automatic red-eye correction processing (S102 step) of detected blood-shot eye illness part.
Then, in the detection of the blood-shot eye illness part in the photographs of S102 in the step, when detecting the blood-shot eye illness part (the S103 step is "Yes"), detect the number positional unconfirmed that is not identified by affirmation operation described later in the quantity of seeing red personage partly, the red-eye correction result images of having implemented after automatic red-eye correction is handled shows (S104 step) together on LCD display panel 108 shown in Figure 2.At this, number positional unconfirmed is equivalent to so-called number positional of the present invention.
Have again, in the detection of the blood-shot eye illness part in the photographs of S102 in the step, when not detecting the blood-shot eye illness part (the S103 step is "No"), view data with the expression photographs writes down (S112 step) as jpeg file by medium controller 224 shown in Figure 3 in recording medium 240.
At this, the demonstration example that red-eye correction result images after Figure 14 represents to be handled by the automatic red-eye correction of S104 step enforcement and number positional unconfirmed show on the LCD display panel.
At this, as an example, photographs shown in Figure 5 is implemented red-eye correction result images after automatic red-eye correction is handled, emphasize by adopting solid line circle 510,520,530 to surround by facial 411a, 421a, the 431a that automatic red-eye correction is handled revised personage 411,421,431, be presented on the LCD display panel 108 shown in Figure 2, on the upper left side of this LCD display panel 108, detect the number positional unconfirmed 610 that is not identified by affirmation operation described later in blood-shot eye illness personage's partly the quantity and show simultaneously.In this example shown in Figure 14, show that on the upper left side of LCD display panel 108 number positional 610 unconfirmed is " 3 ", expression all detects the blood-shot eye illness part to all 3 personages 411,421,431 and revises.
Have, Figure 15 represents demonstration examples different with Figure 14 in red-eye correction result images and the number positional unconfirmed again.
Number positional unconfirmed 610 places at Figure 14, though number positional unconfirmed adopts numeral to represent, in the number positional unconfirmed 611 shown in Figure 15 (A), number positional unconfirmed adopts bar chart to show, and in the number positional unconfirmed 612 shown in Figure 15 (B), number positional unconfirmed adopts the quantity of point to show.Like this, number positional unconfirmed also can adopt the mode beyond the numeral to show.
As described above, the number positional unconfirmed that will not be identified if will detect the blood-shot eye illness part in the red-eye correction result images shows with the red-eye correction result images, even resemble the image that blood-shot eye illness has appearred in a plurality of personages' as shown in Figure 14 eye, by with reference to shown number positional unconfirmed, can under the situation of not violating the such mistake of over sight (OS) blood-shot eye illness part, see red the affirmation of part easily.Have again,, can further carry out the affirmation of the blood-shot eye illness part in the red-eye correction result images easily if the face with blood-shot eye illness part in the red-eye correction result images is emphasized to show.
Then, see red the result of the affirmation of part according to the red-eye correction result images of implementing after automatic red-eye correction is handled by the S104 step, judge when detecting blood-shot eye illness part really and having carried out suitable correction by the user, by pressing menu shown in Figure 2/OK switch 111 (the S105 step is "Yes"), the view data of representing this red-eye correction result images writes down (S112 step) as jpeg file by medium controller 224 shown in Figure 3 in recording medium 240.
Like this, in " the 1st automatic red-eye correction handle " pattern, after pressing shutter key 105 and taking, only need just to finish the affirmation of blood-shot eye illness part, can very simply see red the affirmation of part in the operation that the S105 step be pressed menu/OK switch 111.
Have again, see red the result of the affirmation of part according to the red-eye correction result images of implementing after automatic red-eye correction is handled by the S104 step, when wanting to handle revised personage's face amplification back affirmation blood-shot eye illness part by automatic red-eye correction, by pressing cancellation switch 116 shown in Figure 2 (the S105 step is "No"), become and to adopt cross options button 110 shown in Figure 2 to carry out facial selection (S106 step).
At this, Fig. 7 represents and will can carry out the demonstration example that the red-eye correction result images of multiaspect portion selection shows with the cross options button on the LCD display panel by S106 step.
At this, as an example, selected facial 411a of the facial personage 411 to adopt solid line circle 511 to surround by cross options button 110 shown in Figure 2, can carry out the red-eye correction result images that the personage's 421,431 that multiaspect portion selects facial 421a, 431a adopt dashed circle 521,531 to surround by cross options button 110, on LCD display panel 108 shown in Figure 2, show.According to the operation of cross options button 110, solid line circle 510 is moved on other personage's the face, can select desirable personage's 411,421,431 facial 411a, 421a, 431a.
Have, Fig. 8 represents to go on foot the demonstration example different with Fig. 7 in the red-eye correction result images that can carry out the selection of multiaspect portion by S106 again.
In Fig. 8 (A), facial 411a that expression can be selected by cross options button 110, shown in Figure 7,421a, 431a pairing facial 541,542,543, the demonstration example that the following arrangement guide look of red-eye correction result images shows, and in Fig. 8 (B), represent the not red-eye correction result images shown in the displayed map 7 (A), and only show the demonstration example of the guide look demonstration of face 541,542,543.According to the operation of cross options button 110, can from the face 541,542,543 that guide look shows, select desirable face.Like this, show the face 541,542,543 of handling revised personage by automatic red-eye correction, can once confirm these faces 541,542,543 by guide look.In the present embodiment, in the S106 step, show that as shown in Figure 7 the example of red-eye correction result images is proceeded explanation.
Then, after having selected desirable personage's face,, amplify selected personage's face, on LCD display panel 108 shown in Figure 2, show (107 steps of S) by pressing menu/OK switch 111 according to the operation of cross options button 110 shown in Figure 2.
At this, the demonstration example that the face after Fig. 9 represents to be amplified by the S107 step shows on the LCD display panel.
At this, as an example, after the personage's 411 of the face of from red-eye correction result images shown in Figure 7, having selected to be surrounded facial 411a, by button menu/OK switch 111 by solid line circle 510, its facial 411a is amplified, on LCD display panel 108 shown in Figure 2, show.
The demonstration example different with Fig. 9 in the face after Figure 10 represents to amplify arranged again.
In Figure 10 (A), expression is divided into 2 regional 108_1,108_2 with LCD display panel 108, the red-eye correction result images is presented among the 1st regional 108_1, and will be presented at the 2nd regional 108_2 after the selected facial 411a amplification.Like this, by with the red-eye correction result images and the face after amplifying show side by side, can confirm to implement the position etc. after the red-eye correction easily.Have again, when the LCD display panel that has more than 2, also can shown in Figure 10 (B), on a display panel 108A, show photographs, at the face that shows on another display panel 108B after amplifying.In the present embodiment, to showing that according to display mode shown in Figure 9 the example of the face after amplifying describes by the S107 step.
Then, face after being amplified by S107 step is to implementing the affirmation result of the blood-shot eye illness part after automatic red-eye correction is handled, judge it is when detecting the blood-shot eye illness part really and having carried out suitable correction by the user, confirm operation (the S108 step is "Yes") by pressing menu shown in Figure 2/OK switch 111, affirmation is handled the automatic red-eye correction of the blood-shot eye illness part of the face that amplified, turn back to the S104 step, on LCD display panel 108 shown in Figure 2, show general image.Have again, the above-mentioned number positional unconfirmed that shows like that on the upper left side of this LCD display panel 108, with every acceptance once the number that subtracts after one of the affirmation operation in this S108 step show as number positional unconfirmed.Then, select to have determined the personage outside the personage after automatic red-eye correction is handled, can carry out and above-mentioned same flow process.
Like this, if the Electrofax that the number positional unconfirmed that deducts after the number after the affirmation is shown, even over sight (OS) the blood-shot eye illness part in the red-eye correction result images, by with reference to number positional unconfirmed, also can definitely confirm this blood-shot eye illness part.
Have again, face after being amplified by S107 step is to implementing the affirmation result of the blood-shot eye illness part after automatic red-eye correction is handled, want the eye portion of the face after amplifying is further amplified when confirming the blood-shot eye illness part, by pressing cancellation switch 116 shown in Figure 2 (the S108 step is "No"), the eye portion after amplifying is shown (S109 step) on LCD display panel 108 shown in Figure 2.
At this, the demonstration example that the eye portion after Figure 11 represents to be amplified by the S109 step shows on LCD display panel 108.
At this,, after the eye portion 411b amplification with facial 411a shown in Figure 10, on LCD display panel 108 shown in Figure 2, show as an example.
In description of the present embodiment, as amplifying the example that shows eye portion, show two example though show to amplify, also can amplify eye of demonstration respectively.
Then, eye portion after being amplified by S109 step is to implementing the affirmation result of the blood-shot eye illness part after automatic red-eye correction is handled, judge it is when detecting the blood-shot eye illness part really and having carried out suitable correction by the user, confirm operation (the S110 step is "Yes") by pressing menu shown in Figure 2/OK switch 111, affirmation is handled the automatic red-eye correction of the blood-shot eye illness part of the face that amplified, turn back to the S104 step, on LCD display panel 108 shown in Figure 2, show general image.Have again, the above-mentioned number positional unconfirmed that shows like that on the upper left side of this LCD display panel 108, with every acceptance once the number that subtracts after one of the affirmation operation in this S110 step show as number positional unconfirmed.Then, select to have determined the personage outside the personage after automatic red-eye correction is handled, can carry out and above-mentioned same flow process.
Then, eye portion after being amplified by S109 step is to implementing the affirmation result of the blood-shot eye illness part after automatic red-eye correction is handled, judge it is when having carried out wrong selection or unsuitable correction by the user in the detection of seeing red part or in revising, by pressing cancellation switch 116 shown in Figure 2 (the S110 step is "No"), blood-shot eye illness detection or the correction (S111 step) partly that cancellation is carried out the eye that is amplified, turn back to the S104 step, on LCD display panel 108 shown in Figure 2, show general image.Have again, the above-mentioned number positional unconfirmed that shows like that on the upper left side of this LCD display panel 108, with every acceptance once the number that subtracts after one of the affirmation operation in this S111 step show as number positional unconfirmed.Then, select to have determined automatic red-eye correction is handled or cancellation after the personage outside the personage, can carry out and above-mentioned same flow process.
The flow chart of the operating process when Figure 16 represents to select " the 2nd automatic red-eye correction is handled " pattern.
At first, by function selecting bar 113 shown in Figure 2 is placed on " image record " side 113a selects " the image record " function, rotate by making photograph mode dial key 112, select desirable photograph mode, after further selecting " the 2nd automatic red-eye correction is handled " pattern according to the operation of cross options button 110, press shutter key 105, take (S201 step).
After photographing, CPU211 receives the incident of having selected " the 2nd automatic red-eye correction is handled " pattern according to the operation of cross options button 110 shown in Figure 2, and the blood-shot eye illness of being taken in the photographs that obtains by the S201 step is partly detected.Further, begin to revise the automatic red-eye correction processing (S202 step) of detected blood-shot eye illness part.
Then, in the detection of the blood-shot eye illness part in the photographs of S202 in the step, if when detecting the blood-shot eye illness part (the S203 step is "Yes"), detect the personage's of blood-shot eye illness part quantity (serves as to detect number to call this number in the following text), on LCD display panel 108 shown in Figure 2, show (S204 step) with the red-eye correction result images of having implemented after automatic red-eye correction is handled.
Have again, in the detection of the blood-shot eye illness part in the photographs of S202 in the step, if when not detecting the blood-shot eye illness part (the S203 step is "No"), view data with the expression photographs writes down (S213 step) as jpeg file by medium controller 224 shown in Figure 3 in recording medium 240.
At this, Figure 17 represents and will be implemented the red-eye correction result images after automatic red-eye correction is handled and detected the demonstration example that number shows on the LCD display panel by the S204 step.
At this, as an example, after by S201 step 3 people's personage 410,420,430 being taken, the photographs identical with photographs shown in Figure 5 implemented red-eye correction result images after automatic red-eye correction is handled, emphasize by adopting solid line circle 510,520,530 to surround by facial 411a, 421a, the 431a that automatic red-eye correction is handled revised personage 411,421,431, be presented on the LCD display panel 108 shown in Figure 2, on the upper left side of this LCD display panel 108, show the detection several 620 that detects the blood-shot eye illness part simultaneously.In this example shown in Figure 14, show that on the upper left side of LCD display panel 108 detecting several 620 is " 3 ", expression all detects the blood-shot eye illness part to all 3 personages 411,421,431 and revises.
Like this, if the detection number that detects the blood-shot eye illness part in the red-eye correction result images is shown with the red-eye correction result images, even resemble the image that blood-shot eye illness has appearred in a plurality of personages' as shown in Figure 17 eye, by with reference to shown detection number, can under the situation of not violating the such mistake of over sight (OS) blood-shot eye illness part, see red the affirmation of part easily.Have again,, can further carry out the affirmation of the blood-shot eye illness part in the red-eye correction result images easily if the face with blood-shot eye illness part in the red-eye correction result images is emphasized to show.
Then, in CPU211,, add the priority when confirming to implemented the blood-shot eye illness part after automatic red-eye correction is handled in the step at S202.In the present embodiment, at first, according to " central authorities of blood-shot eye illness part medium distance photography picture are near more " priority is high more, " area of blood-shot eye illness part is big more " priority is high more then determines priority (S205 step) like that.
Then, handle image to after seeing red the part affirmation by the red-eye correction after the automatic red-eye correction processing of S204 step enforcement, if do not carry out described later, when amplify showing that image after face or the eye portion is to the affirmation of blood-shot eye illness part, by pressing cancellation switch 116 (the S206 step is "No"), view data with the expression photographs writes down (S213 step) as jpeg file by medium controller 224 shown in Figure 3 in recording medium 240.
Like this, in " the 2nd automatic red-eye correction is handled " pattern, by after pressing shutter key 105 and taking, only need just can to finish to see red the affirmation of part in the operation that the S206 step be pressed cancellation switch 116, can very simply see red affirmation partly.
Have again, see red the result of the affirmation of part according to the red-eye correction result images of implementing after automatic red-eye correction is handled by the S204 step, when wanting to handle revised personage's face amplification back affirmation blood-shot eye illness part by automatic red-eye correction, by pressing menu shown in Figure 2/OK switch 111 (the S206 step is "Yes"), to surround facial amplification of personage that has among the facial personage who emphasizes to show in the highest blood-shot eye illness part of additional priority of S205 step with solid line circle in the S204 step, on LCD display panel 108 shown in Figure 2, show (S207 step) with number positional unconfirmed.At this so-called number positional unconfirmed, same with the number positional unconfirmed in above-mentioned " the 1st automatic red-eye correction is handled " pattern, be meant the number of also not confirmed by affirmation operation described later in the personage's who detects the blood-shot eye illness part the quantity, this number positional unconfirmed also is equivalent to an example of so-called number positional of the present invention.
Like this, so long as the Electrofax that can show to the number positional unconfirmed that deducts after the number after the affirmation, even over sight (OS) the blood-shot eye illness part in the red-eye correction result images, by with reference to number positional unconfirmed, also can definitely confirm this blood-shot eye illness part.
At this, the demonstration example that face after Figure 18 represents to be amplified by the S207 step and number positional unconfirmed show on the LCD display panel.
At this, as an example, the facial 411a of personage 411 among the personage 411,421,431 in the red-eye correction result images shown in Figure 17, surrounded facial 411a, 421a, 431a with solid line circle 510,520,530 is amplified, on LCD display panel 108 shown in Figure 2, show, on the upper left side of this LCD display panel 108, show simultaneously detecting the number positional of also not confirmed in blood-shot eye illness personage's partly the quantity unconfirmed 610 by affirmation operation described later.
Then, face after being amplified by S207 step is to implementing the affirmation result of the blood-shot eye illness part after automatic red-eye correction is handled, judge it is when detecting the blood-shot eye illness part really and having carried out suitable correction by the user, confirm operation (the S208 step is "Yes") by pressing menu shown in Figure 2/OK switch 111, affirmation is handled the automatic red-eye correction of the blood-shot eye illness part of the face that amplified, determine also to exist beyond the personage after automatic red-eye correction is handled when having implemented personage after automatic red-eye correction is handled (the S212 step is "Yes") by the S204 step, except having determined the personage after automatic red-eye correction is handled, to have facial amplification of personage of the highest blood-shot eye illness part of priority, on LCD display panel 108 shown in Figure 2, show (the 207th step).And, the above-mentioned number positional unconfirmed 610 that shows like that on the upper left side of this LCD display panel 108, with every acceptance once the number that subtracts after one of the affirmation operation in this S208 step show as number positional unconfirmed.
Have again, by the S208 step is that "Yes" is partly determined automatic red-eye correction processing to the blood-shot eye illness of the face after amplifying, except determining that automatic red-eye correction is after handling, perhaps by outside the personage after the cancellation of " result's cancellation " described later pattern, do not exist when having implemented personage after automatic red-eye correction is handled (the S212 step is "No") by S204 step, to represent that the S208 step is determined for "Yes", perhaps the view data of the red-eye correction result images of being cancelled by " result's cancellation " described later pattern writes down (S213 step) as jpeg file by medium controller 224 shown in Figure 3 in recording medium 240.
Have again, face after being amplified by S207 step is to implementing the affirmation result of the blood-shot eye illness part after automatic red-eye correction is handled, want the eye portion of the face after amplifying is further amplified when confirming the blood-shot eye illness part, by pressing cancellation switch 116 shown in Figure 2 (the S208 step is "No"), the eye portion after amplifying is shown (S209 step) with number positional unconfirmed on LCD display panel 108 shown in Figure 2.
At this, the demonstration example that eye portion after Figure 19 represents to be amplified by the S209 step and number positional unconfirmed show on the LCD display panel.
At this, as an example, the eye portion 411b of facial 411a after amplifying is amplified, on LCD display panel 108 shown in Figure 2, show, on the upper left side of this LCD display panel 108, show simultaneously detecting the number positional of also not confirmed in blood-shot eye illness personage's partly the quantity unconfirmed 610 by affirmation operation described later.
In description of the present embodiment, as amplifying the example that shows eye portion, show two example though show to amplify, also can amplify eye of demonstration respectively.
Then, eye portion after being amplified by S209 step is to implementing the affirmation result of the blood-shot eye illness part after automatic red-eye correction is handled, judge it is when detecting the blood-shot eye illness part really and having carried out suitable correction by the user, confirm operation (the S210 step is "Yes") by pressing menu shown in Figure 2/OK switch 111, affirmation is handled the automatic red-eye correction of the blood-shot eye illness part of the face that amplified, determine also to exist beyond the personage after automatic red-eye correction is handled when having implemented personage after automatic red-eye correction is handled (the S212 step is "Yes") by the S204 step, except having determined the personage after automatic red-eye correction is handled, to have facial amplification of personage of the highest blood-shot eye illness part of priority, on LCD display panel 108 shown in Figure 2, show (the 207th step).And, the above-mentioned number positional unconfirmed 610 that shows like that on the upper left side of this LCD display panel 108, with every acceptance once the number that subtracts after one of the affirmation operation in this S210 step show as number positional unconfirmed.
Have again, by the S210 step is that "Yes" is partly determined automatic red-eye correction processing to the blood-shot eye illness of the face after amplifying, except determining that automatic red-eye correction is after handling, perhaps by outside the personage after the cancellation of " result's cancellation " described later pattern, do not exist when having implemented personage after automatic red-eye correction is handled (the S212 step is "No") by S204 step, to represent that the S221 step is determined for "Yes", perhaps the view data of the red-eye correction result images of being cancelled by " result's cancellation " described later pattern writes down (S213 step) as jpeg file by medium controller 224 shown in Figure 3 in recording medium 240.
At this,, amplify the priority step-down of blood-shot eye illness part in the face that shows the personage along with reducing of number positional unconfirmed.Therefore, carry out repeatedly going on foot a series of processing till S212 step from S207, when the blood-shot eye illness of the face after judgement is amplified partly becomes inessential, by press cancellation switch 116 shown in Figure 2 by the user, enter into the S213 processing in step from S212 step, the red-eye correction result images is carried out record.
Have again, eye portion after being amplified by S209 step is to implementing the affirmation result of the blood-shot eye illness part after automatic red-eye correction is handled, judge it is when having carried out wrong detection or unsuitable correction by the user in the detection of seeing red part or in revising, by pressing cancellation switch 116 shown in Figure 2 (the S210 step is "No")
In addition, in the camera 100 of present embodiment, selected " the 2nd automatic red-eye correction is handled " when pattern is taken, supposed in advance and the eye after the amplification is seen red " result's cancellation " pattern of detection partly or correction or can manually partly be selected arbitrary pattern to set " correction " pattern of correction again to the blood-shot eye illness of the eye after this amplification from cancelling.According to predefined so arbitrary pattern, when pressing cancellation switch 116 for "No", be automatically moved in predefined arbitrary pattern in the S210 step.
When being set at " result's cancellation " pattern, by pressing cancellation switch 116 for "No" in the S210 step, the detection or the correction (S211 step) of part seen red in cancellation to the eye after amplifying, except cancelling the personage that automatic red-eye correction handles, also exist when having implemented personage after automatic red-eye correction is handled (the S212 step is "Yes") by the S204 step, except having cancelled the personage after automatic red-eye correction is handled, to have facial amplification of personage of the highest blood-shot eye illness part of priority, on LCD display panel 108 shown in Figure 2, show (the 207th step).And, the above-mentioned number positional unconfirmed 610 that shows like that on the upper left side of this LCD display panel 108, with every acceptance once the number that subtracts after one of the affirmation operation in this S211 step show as number positional unconfirmed.
Have again, go on foot the automatic red-eye correction processing of the blood-shot eye illness partial cancellation of the face after amplifying by S211, except after cancelling automatic red-eye correction and handling or determine by above-mentioned affirmation operation after the personage, do not exist when having implemented personage after automatic red-eye correction is handled (the S212 step is "No") by S204 step, with the view data of expression, in recording medium 240, write down (S213 step) as jpeg file by medium controller 224 shown in Figure 3 by red-eye correction result images S211 step cancellation or that determine by above-mentioned affirmation operation.
When being set at " correction " pattern, by pressing cancellation switch 116 for "No" in the S210 step, for detection or the position deviation of correction or the big so-called error detection or the inappropriate corrections such as change of the eye after amplifying being seen red part, can manually revise again.
More than, finish the explanation of the 3rd execution mode among the present invention, below the 4th execution mode of the present invention is described.The camera of present embodiment, have with Fig. 1 to the identical formation of the camera 100 of the 1st execution mode shown in Figure 3, also adopting these Fig. 1 to Fig. 3 in description of the present embodiment, the point different with the 3rd execution mode described.
Figure 20 represents the flow chart by a series of processing till preserving photographs after the camera shooting subject of present embodiment.
At first, same with the 3rd execution mode, the user is placed into function selecting bar 113 shown in Figure 2 " the image record " side 113a, read shot object image roughly by CCD solid-state image pickup 210 time interval according to the rules shown in Figure 3, the output rgb signal carries out above-mentioned a series of exposure-processed and focuses on handling (the pre-photography in S301 step).
The operator, use photograph mode shown in Figure 2 to dial key 112 preference patterns (" personage's photography " pattern, " landscape photography " pattern, " motion " pattern, " autodyning regularly " pattern, " oneself is taken " pattern), further, when following the strobo photography of flash of light, by pressing unillustrated flash of light button appointment strobo photography in figure below.Photograph mode is dialled key 112 and the situation of pressing of the button that glistens, pass to CPU211.
At this, (S302 goes on foot and is "No") in CPU211, infers the unfavorable condition that can not occur blood-shot eye illness in photographs when pressing the glitter down button, enters into S311 from the S302 step and go on foot in the flow chart of Figure 20.
After pressing shutter key 105 by the user, detect pressing of shutter key 105 by CPU211, send the indication that begins of shooting from CPU211 to timing sequencer 212, the CCD solid-state image pickup 210 trickle shot object images that read carry out the S 101 identical photograph processing (S311 step) of step with Fig. 4.
The view data of photographing and obtaining, the image processing by regulations such as imaging signal processing circuit 222 enforcement gradation correction processing writes down the view data after the enforcement image processing (the S313 step of Figure 17) in recording medium 240.So-called image processing such as this briliancy treatment for correcting are the processing of in the past extensively adopting, and omit its explanation in this manual.
Usually, when not carrying out strobo photography, be not easy to produce the unfavorable condition of so-called relevant eyes such as blood-shot eye illness.Therefore, when not carrying out strobo photography, handle, can handle at a high speed by omitting red-eye correction.
Have again, the user presses glitter down button (the 302nd step was "Yes"), during pattern as model selection beyond " personage's photography " pattern (the 303rd step was "No"), in CPU211, infer the unfavorable condition can in photographs, not occur blood-shot eye illness, enter into S311 from S303 step of flow chart and go on foot.
Further, the user presses glitter down button (the 302nd step was "Yes"), " personage's photography " pattern as model selection (the 303rd step was "Yes"), when in the focusing of the pre-photography in S301 step is handled, calculate, near the distance (subject distance) of the subject the central authorities at photography visual angle outside the predetermined distance scope apart from the time (the 304th go on foot be "No"), in CPU211, also infer the unfavorable condition can in photographs, not occur blood-shot eye illness, enter into S311 from S304 step of flow chart and go on foot.
When subject distance or too near or too far away, but outside the prescribed limit apart from the time, even in photographs the personage is photographed, the possibility that produces blood-shot eye illness is low.In addition, in the present embodiment, during the pattern as model selection beyond " personage's photography " pattern (" landscape photography " pattern, " motion " pattern, " autodyning regularly " pattern, " oneself is taken " pattern), the supposition personage that in photographs, do not photograph, even perhaps photograph the personage, the subject distance is the distance outside the prescribed limit, therefore omits the blood-shot eye illness treatment for correcting.Have again, in the present embodiment, initial condition is owing to be " personage's photography " pattern, when having carried out photography even the user does not pay special attention to pattern, " personage's photography " pattern of employing (the 303rd step was "Yes") prevents the photography of the unfavorable condition of blood-shot eye illness described later in advance.Be in the camera of " personage's photography " pattern pattern in addition for initial condition, when perhaps camera is selected the automatic mode of automatic switchover mode, for example [as long as pattern is " personage's photography " pattern (the 303rd step)], and in [subject distance is (the 304th step) in prescribed limit] any be very, also can enter into the later photograph processing that prevents the unfavorable condition of seeing red in advance of S305.
Have again, the user presses glitter down button (the 302nd step was "Yes"), " personage's photography " pattern as model selection (the 303rd step was "Yes"), during distance (the 304th step was "Yes") in prescribed limit of subject distance, in CPU211, infer the unfavorable condition that blood-shot eye illness can in photographs, occur.At this moment, CPU211 shows the warning (S305 step) of " blood-shot eye illness " on LCD display panel 108 shown in Figure 2.The user can definitely be familiar with " possibility that blood-shot eye illness is taken place is arranged " by accepting warning.
Further, CPU211 sends indication to flash light emission device 103 shown in Figure 3, and luminous intensity in the flash light emission device 103 and fluorescent lifetime are adjusted to the setting (the 306th step) that is not easy to produce blood-shot eye illness.
After the adjustment of flash light emission device 103 finished, if press shutter key 105 by the user, CPU211 detected pressing of shutter key 105, carried out the photograph processing (the 307th step) with flash of light.View data by the photograph processing in this S307 step is obtained can suppress the appearance of seeing red in advance.
Then, CPU211 sends indication to CDSAMP213, carries out the adjustment (the 308th step) of amplifier gain.
To the view data that photography is obtained, implement the image processing identical (the 309th step) with the S312 step, in recording medium 240, write down (the 310th step) with having implemented the view data after the image processing.
Like this, according to having or not or so-called photography conditions such as subject distance of photograph mode, flash of light, infer so-called unfavorable conditions such as blood-shot eye illness in photographs, whether can occur in advance, when supposition can unfavorable condition occur, by adjusting luminous in the flash light emission device, can reduce the generation of blood-shot eye illness.
Have again, in the present embodiment,, for the purpose of prudent, also can when giving a warning, confirm operation though, do not carry out the affirmation operation of photographs owing to alleviated the generation of blood-shot eye illness.
More than, finish the explanation of the 4th execution mode among the present invention, below the 5th execution mode of the present invention is described.The camera of present embodiment, also have with Fig. 1 to the identical formation of the camera 100 of the 1st execution mode shown in Figure 3, also adopting these Fig. 1 to Fig. 3 in description of the present embodiment, only the point different with the 3rd execution mode and the 4th execution mode described.
The camera of present embodiment can divide for 2 stages pressed shutter key 105 shown in Figure 1, carried out above-mentioned pre-photography (exposure-processed and focusing are handled) when pressing for the 1st stage, carried out actual photograph processing when pressing for the 2nd stage.
Figure 21 represents the flow chart by a series of processing till preserving photographs after the camera shooting subject of present embodiment.
At first, the user uses photograph mode shown in Figure 2 to dial key 112 preference patterns (" personage's photography " pattern, " landscape photography " pattern, " motion " pattern, " autodyning regularly " pattern, " oneself is taken " pattern), further, when following the strobo photography of flash of light, specify strobo photography by unillustrated flash of light button among the figure.Further, carry out automatic red-eye correction when handling, select " red-eye correction is handled automatically " patterns (detect the blood-shot eye illness part in the subject, the blood-shot eye illness of being detected is partly revised) by cross options button 110.Cross options button 110, photograph mode are dialled key 112 and the setting situation of the button that glistens, pass to CPU211.
Then, the user makes camera towards desirable subject, presses the 1st stage (the 401st step) of shutter key 105.
When flash of light button of no use is selected strobo photography (the S402 step of Figure 21 is "No"), same with the 311st step of Figure 17, do not follow the photograph processing ((the 411st step) of flash of light, will in recording medium 240, write down (the 410th step) by the view data that photograph processing is obtained.In the photographs in the photography of not following flash of light,, can omit the blood-shot eye illness treatment for correcting because it is few the unfavorable condition of so-called relevant eyes such as blood-shot eye illness to occur.
Then, when having selected strobo photography (the S402 step of Figure 21 is "Yes") with the flash of light button, in camera inside, carry out S301 same pre-photography of step with Figure 20, the thick view data of pixel (is high-resolution data to call the thick view data of this pixel in the following text) (the 403rd step) is obtained in the flash of light of not following flash light emission device 103 to send.This high-resolution data is equivalent to an example of so-called the 1st view data of the present invention, and the low-resolution image of expression high-resolution data is equivalent to an example of so-called the 1st image of the present invention.
Further, the user presses the 2nd stage of shutter key 105, and indication is photographed (the 404th step).
Carry out with the 307th step of Figure 20 equally in camera inside, follow the photograph processing of flash of light, obtain the thin view data of pixel (is high-resolution data to call the thin view data of this pixel in the following text) (the 405th step).This high-resolution data is equivalent to an example of so-called the 2nd view data of the present invention, represents that the low-resolution image of this resolution data is equivalent to an example of so-called the 2nd image of the present invention.
At this, (the 406th step was "No") do not carried out red-eye correction and handled when selecting " red-eye correction is handled automatically " pattern, the high-resolution data that obtains write down (the 410th step) in recording medium 240.
When having selected " red-eye correction is handled automatically " pattern (the 406th step was "Yes"), in imaging signal processing circuit 222, the color of the high-definition picture of the color of the low-resolution image of the expression high-resolution data that will obtain in S403 step and the expression high-resolution data that obtains in the S405 step compares (the 407th step).In the present embodiment, by imaging signal processing circuit 222, obtain the aberration between high-definition picture and the low-resolution image.
When the aberration that obtains in S407 step than setting hour (the 408th step was "No"), blood-shot eye illness does not appear in supposition in high-definition picture, in imaging signal processing circuit 222, do not carry out red-eye correction and handle, high-resolution data is write down (the 410th step) in recording medium 240.Low-resolution image is owing to be to obtain under the situation of not following flash of light, and the possibility that blood-shot eye illness occurs is low.On the other hand, high-definition picture the possibility height of blood-shot eye illness occurs owing to be to obtain following under the situation of flash of light, when the difference between the color of high-definition picture and low-resolution image during less than setting, judges not produce blood-shot eye illness.
Then, when the aberration that obtains in the S407 step (the 408th step was "Yes") when setting is above, imaging signal processing circuit 222 takes the place of the aberration in the high-definition picture more than setting for unfavorable condition having occurred as.In addition, the luminance difference in the place of the appearance unfavorable condition in high-definition picture, compare when big variation is arranged with the luminance difference in this place peripheral part, can think the gold eye in the unfavorable condition that this place occurred, when this local aberration or chroma poor, compare when big variation is arranged with aberration in this place peripheral part or chroma difference, can think blood-shot eye illness in the unfavorable condition that this place occurred.
After detecting unfavorable condition, high-resolution data is implemented the automatic red-eye correction identical with the 102nd step of Fig. 4 handle (the 409th step), after the affirmation operation of carrying out this blood-shot eye illness part, the view data of having implemented after automatic red-eye correction is handled is write down (the 410th step) in recording medium 240.
Like this, inferring that the situation that has occurred blood-shot eye illness in photographs in advance carries out red-eye correction and handle, can alleviate the burden of processing, also can alleviate simultaneously having implemented the affirmation operation that image that red-eye correction handles carries out by only.
Have again, in the present embodiment, though be to the present invention being applicable to the picture of on the solid-state photographic element of CCD, forming subject, being illustrated as the example in the Electrofax of signal input with the view data of representing this subject, but the present invention is not limited to this, the unfavorable condition of the relevant eye in detecting the image represented by the view data of obtaining, revise the unfavorable condition that is detected, the number positional that detects unfavorable condition is shown with the image that comprises this position, for example in the image correcting apparatus by realizations such as microcomputers, also can be suitable for.
In addition, in description of the present embodiment, though what illustrate is to receive to have selected to implement the example that automatic red-eye correction is handled after " red-eye correction is handled automatically " pattern, " the 1st automatic red-eye correction is handled " pattern or " the 2nd automatic red-eye correction is handled " pattern, also can be after shooting, must implement automatic red-eye correction to handle, perhaps after the shooting of adopting flash of light, must implement the mode that automatic red-eye correction is handled.
Have again, in description of the present embodiment, though illustrate be made up the function of revising the blood-shot eye illness part that is detected in the blood-shot eye illness part back of detecting in the photographs, by revised blood-shot eye illness part being amplified the function emphasized, making revised blood-shot eye illness part turn back to the example of Electrofax of the function of the state before revising, but the present invention is not limited thereto, also can will carry out combination in any in these 3 functions, perhaps make up a function in these 3 functions.
Have again, in the above description, though be to be illustrated to after photography, carrying out the example that red-eye correction is handled and it confirms operation immediately, image correcting apparatus of the present invention and camera head, also can obtain several photographed images earlier, concentrate then and carry out that red-eye correction is handled and it confirms operation, perhaps also can after photography, carry out red-eye correction immediately and handle, carry out it and confirm operation and concentrate afterwards.Concentrate when carrying out after only the affirmation that red-eye correction is handled operates in, preserve original photographs and the correction image after the red-eye correction, and after the affirmation operation, unwanted picture is deleted.At this moment, also can not to preserve integral image, the image section that unfavorable condition also only will occur is preserved, and also can not preserve image and preserves update information etc.This update information has the advantage that storage medium is not produced too big capacity requirement owing to littler than the data capacity of image.As the store method of corrected signal, for example, can adopt in the eye portion that unfavorable condition occurred to add label information, perhaps in having the blank parts of configuration image, do not sandwich flag information etc.
And, in above-mentioned, being illustrated though display list on image displaying part is illustrated the example of warning of the meaning of existing unfavorable condition, so-called warning among the present invention shows in for example also can be when the user photographs observed view finder etc.
Have, in above-mentioned, be illustrated though display list on image displaying part is illustrated the example of warning of the meaning of existing unfavorable condition, so-called warning among the present invention for example also can adopt sound to give a warning.
Have again, in above-mentioned, though the example of warning portion to the warning of sending the meaning that unfavorable condition appears in expression is illustrated, so-called warning portion among the present invention, with the photograph mode interlock, for example also can work as when being set at automatic red-eye correction tupe, send the announcement of the meaning of expression correcting process work, in the time of perhaps also can setting strobo photography, send the advice of recommending to set automatic red-eye correction tupe not setting automatic red-eye correction tupe.
Have again, in above-mentioned, though be to the color of utilizing the 1st image do not follow flash of light and to obtain and follow flash of light and difference between the color of the 2nd image that obtains infers that the example that whether occurs unfavorable condition in the photographs is illustrated, image correcting apparatus of the present invention and camera head, also can when pre-photography, also flash, see red detection or warning according to the high-resolution data that this pre-photography is obtained.Like this, detect blood-shot eye illness by the high-resolution data of using pre-photography to obtain and can disperse handling, the red-eye correction after the formal photography of shortening is handled the time that is spent.
And, in description of the present embodiment, though what illustrate is to detecting the blood-shot eye illness part in the photographs, the blood-shot eye illness example partly that correction is detected, but the present invention is not limited to this, also can be for example detect golden eye grade so-called relevant eye the regulation unfavorable condition, revise the mode of the unfavorable condition that is detected.
Have again, in description of the present embodiment, example as " number positional " of the present invention, detect " number positional unconfirmed " of seeing red number of person partly though enumerated expression, the present invention's so-called " number positional " for example also can be the quantity of eye that detects the so-called unfavorable condition of blood-shot eye illness part etc.
Have, in above-mentioned, though be that the example that expression detects the number positional of unfavorable condition is illustrated, so-called image displaying part of the present invention also can be for example according to the degree of unfavorable condition, represents the number positional of the unfavorable condition under this degree again.
Further, in description of the present embodiment, though illustrate be the number positional that will detect the blood-shot eye illness part in the photographs, with comprise this position, detect the example that the revised red-eye correction result images in blood-shot eye illness part back in the photographs shows, but the present invention is not limited to this, also can with detect the blood-shot eye illness part in the photographs number positional, show with comprising photographs this position, that detect before blood-shot eye illness part back in the photographs is revised.
