ABSTRACT:
A person's portrait generation device includes an image input section which picks up a two-dimensional image containing a person's face, using an image sensor. A head area extracting section extracts the head of the person from the image. A feature detection section detects the position of characteristic feature(s) of the face of that person. A face outline determining section determines a border between a face outline and a background. An image processing section generates a person's portrait in which the characteristic feature(s) of the face is emphasized.
