Abstract
An image processing apparatus comprises an image acquisition unit configured to acquire an image, an evaluation value acquisition unit configured to acquire an evaluation value of the image, a reliability acquisition unit configured to acquire reliability of the evaluation value, an evaluation unit configured to evaluate the image based on the evaluation value; and a recording unit configured to add a rating result of the image to the image and record the rating result, wherein the evaluation unit performs rating in accordance with the evaluation value excluding an evaluation value the reliability of which is relatively low.
Claims19
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor or circuit configured to function as:
- an image acquisition unit configured to acquire an image;
- an evaluation value acquisition unit configured to acquire an evaluation value of the image;
- a reliability acquisition unit configured to acquire reliability of the evaluation value;
- an evaluation unit configured to evaluate the image based on the evaluation value;
- and
- a recording unit configured to add a rating result of the image to the image and record the rating result;
- and
- a subject detection unit configured to detect a subject from the image,
- wherein
- the evaluation unit determines that a reliability of the evaluation value in a case where a distance between a position of the subject detected by the subject detection unit and a position of an auto-focus frame on a screen is larger than a predetermined distance is lower than a reliability of the evaluation value in a case where the distance is not larger than the predetermined distance and performs rating of the images which have been recorded by the recording unit by prioritizing an evaluation value which has higher reliability over an evaluation value which has lower reliability.
An image processing method comprising:
- acquiring an image;
- acquiring an evaluation value of the image;
- acquiring reliability of the evaluation value;
- evaluating the image based on the evaluation value;
- adding a rating result of the image to the image and recording the rating result to a recording device;
- and
- detecting a subject from the image,
- wherein
- in the evaluation, it is determined that a reliability of the evaluation value in a case where a distance between a position of the subject detected in the detecting step and a position of an auto-focus frame on a screen is larger than a predetermined distance is lower than a reliability of the evaluation value in a case where the distance is not larger than the predetermined distance and rating of the images which have been recorded by the recording device is performed by prioritizing an evaluation value which has higher reliability over an evaluation value which has lower reliability.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to function as respective units of an image processing apparatus, the image processing apparatus comprising:
- an image acquisition unit configured to acquire an image;
- an evaluation value acquisition unit configured to acquire an evaluation value of the image;
- a reliability acquisition unit configured to acquire reliability of the evaluation value;
- an evaluation unit configured to evaluate the image based on the evaluation value;
- and
- a recording unit configured to add a rating result of the image to the image and record the rating result;
- and
- a subject detection unit configured to detect a subject from the image, wherein
- the evaluation unit determines that a reliability of the evaluation value in a case where a distance between a position of the subject detected by the subject detection unit and a position of an auto-focus frame on a screen is larger than a predetermined distance is lower than a reliability of the evaluation value in a case where the distance is not larger than the predetermined distance and performs rating of the images which have been recorded by the recording unit by prioritizing an evaluation value which has higher reliability over an evaluation value which has lower reliability.
