The communication terminal and a communication system is capable of eliminating necessity of complicated setting inputs related to communication in a communication terminal in performing dial-up connection to a communication apparatus on a network from the communication terminal. Since the communication terminal and the communication system are provided with a receiving device which receives connection information such as a dial-up telephone number, attribute information, a URL, an IP address, gateway information and a DNS that is required for making communication connection to a photograph sharing service on the Internet from a cellular phone and a transmitting and receiving device (transmitting and receiving device) which sends and receives information such as an image to and from the photograph sharing service based on the connection information received from the cellular phone, it becomes possible to eliminate necessity of complicated setting inputs related to communication in an electronic camera in performing dial-up connection to the Internet from the electronic camera.

A face detection method is provided, including: classifying into levels time-wise continuously captured images by increasing/reducing the total number of pixels; selecting sequentially and reading out image data for all of the levels using read-out units of the same size of pixels, or a smaller size of pixels, as those of the image with the smallest size of pixels; carrying out face detection processing by extracting candidate levels in which face image data is present, based on the read-out image data for each of the levels; and, when repeating the face detection processing, setting the number of candidate levels for face detection processing from the second time onward as less than the total number of levels. A digital camera incorporating the face detection method is also disclosed.

In a focus control apparatus of a camera, a luminance signal component having a relatively high frequency is extracted from a video signal by use of a filter so as to accumulate the extracted luminance signal component by an accumulator. A difference circuit computes a difference in the accumulated signal component between two adjacent horizontal scanning lines such that the maximum value of the difference is held by an accumulator unit for a vertical scanning period. The focus of the lens is controlled such that the accumulated value produced by the accumulator unit takes the maximum value. A high focusing accuracy is obtained not only for an image in which the luminance greatly varies in the horizontal direction of the image having a vertical stripe pattern but also for an image associated with a large change only in the vertical direction having an image of vertical stripes.

An automatic white balance adjusting method in which color difference signals (E.sub.R -E.sub.Y) and (E.sub.B -E.sub.Y) obtained by photographing an object are respectively integrated over the entire screen and the gains of red and blue signals are respectively controlled so that the resultant integration average values can be respectively indentical with predetermined reference levels. In the method, when the respective color difference signals are integrated, only the weak color difference signals are selectively integrated. Also, there are set predetermined limits respectively to the gains of the red and blue signals.

In the detection of face images, features for the purpose of detecting face images can be added on to supplement existing features. A face detecting apparatus includes a ROM, which stores data representing features for detecting face images having inclination angles at increments of 90° in the image of a subject. The face detecting apparatus is further provided with a connection terminal to which a flash ROM can be removably connected. The flash ROM stores data representing features for detecting face images having inclination angles finer than those of the images of the faces having inclination angles capable of being detected by the data representing the features that have been stored in the ROM. Face images can be detected more accurately by connecting the flash ROM to the face detecting apparatus.

摘要:
An automatic white balance adjusting method is disclosed in which color difference signals (E.sub.R -E.sub.y) and (E.sub.B -E.sub.y) are respectively integrated over the entire screen and the gains of red and blue signals are controlled so that the respective integration average values of these two color difference signals can coincide with their respective predetermined reference levels. In the integration of the above color difference signals, integration of the color difference signals of chromatic colors is prohibited. In the automatic white balance adjusting method, in order to check whether the respective color difference signals are chromatic colors or not, the respective color difference signals are added together and subtracted from each other to thereby generate color signals (E.sub.R +E.sub.B -2E.sub.y) and (E.sub.R -E.sub.B) and it may be checked whether at least one of these color signals goes beyond threshold levels for removal of chromatic colors respectively set correspondingly to the respective color signals.
