Image accumulation apparatus, method, and non-transitory computer-readable medium

A method comprising:

• acquiring image data from a camera installed in a facility, the image data being captured of one or more people in the facility by the camera;
• classifying face image data included in the image data into predetermined emotions by extracting a plurality of feature points from the image data and comparing the plurality of extracted feature points with reference data;
• based on face image data being classified as a predetermined specific emotion, extracting a specific image corresponding to the specific emotion from the image data and accumulating the specific image associated with a specific emotion identifier for identifying the specific emotion so that the specific image is distributable to a terminal;
• identifying a person determined to express the specific emotion from the face image data;
• editing the specific image accumulated by masking at least one person other than the person determined to express the specific emotion in the specific image;
• storing identification information of the person determined to express the specific emotion in association with the specific image;
• and
• based on a selection of an icon corresponding to the specific emotion by the terminal, distributing an image associated with the emotion identifier and the identification information of the person determined to express the specific emotion to the terminal.
