Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes a processor and a memory. The processor executes a program stored in the memory to perform operations including: obtaining a plurality of image groups each containing a plurality of images classified based on contents of images; selecting an image from each of the plurality of image groups based on an evaluation result obtained by evaluating the plurality of images; and generating one image from the plurality of selected images.
Claims14
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory,
- wherein the processor executes a program stored in the memory to perform operations comprising:
- evaluating each of a plurality of images, based on a feature amount of each of the plurality of images;
- classifying the plurality of images into any one of a plurality of categories, based on content of each of the plurality of images;
- selecting an image from the classified plurality of images so as to be fitted to a story map showing an array of temporal positions, wherein any one category of the plurality of categories is assigned to each of the temporal positions of the story map, wherein the image is selected to be fitted to the story map based on a result of evaluating each of the plurality of images and based on said any one of the plurality of categories into which the image is classified, and wherein the selection is performed for each temporal position of the story map whereby a plurality of the images are selected;
- and
- generating one image from the plurality of selected images.
An image processing method executed by a processor of an image processing apparatus, the image processing method comprising:
- evaluating each of a plurality of images, based on a feature amount of each of the plurality of images;
- classifying the plurality of images into any one of a plurality of categories, based on content of each of the plurality of images;
- selecting an image from the classified plurality of images so as to be fitted to a story map showing an array of temporal positions, wherein any one category of the plurality of categories is assigned to each of the temporal positions of the story map, wherein the image is selected to be fitted to the story map based on a result of evaluating each of the plurality of images and based on said any one of the plurality of categories into which the image is classified, and wherein the selection is performed for each temporal position of the story map whereby a plurality of the images are selected;
- and
- generating one image from the plurality of selected images.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program that is executable by a computer that comprises a processor, the program being executable by the computer to cause the computer to perform operations comprising:
- evaluating each of a plurality of images, based on a feature amount of each of the plurality of images;
- classifying the plurality of images into any one of a plurality of categories, based on content of each of the plurality of images;
- selecting an image from the classified plurality of images so as to be fitted to a story map showing an array of temporal positions, wherein any one category of the plurality of categories is assigned to each of the temporal positions of the story map, wherein the image is selected to be fitted to the story map based on a result of evaluating each of the plurality of images and based on said any one of the plurality of categories into which the image is classified, and wherein the selection is performed for each temporal position of the story map whereby a plurality of the images are selected;
- and
- generating one image from the plurality of selected images.
