Abstract
A method of processing a plurality of still images. The method includes the steps of: detecting an object photographed for each of the still images; arranging the object detected by the step of detecting an object with respect to the plurality of still images and detecting an object photographed by the plurality of still images; relating objects having a strong relationship out of the plurality of objects detected by the step of arranging the object; selecting a still image including at least one of the objects detected by the step of relating objects from the plurality of still images; and outputting the still image selected by the step of selecting a still-image.
Claims11
A method of processing a plurality of still images, comprising the steps of:
- detecting an object photographed for each of the still images;
- arranging the object detected by the step of detecting an object with respect to the plurality of still images and detecting an object photographed by the plurality of still images;
- relating objects having a strong relationship out of the plurality of objects detected by the step of arranging the object;
- selecting a still image including at least one of the objects detected by the step of relating objects from the plurality of still images;
- and
- outputting the still image selected by the step of selecting a still-image.
A program of a method of processing a plurality of still images, the program comprising the steps of:
- detecting an object photographed for each of the still images;
- arranging the object detected by the step of detecting an object with respect to the plurality of still images and detecting an object photographed by the plurality of still images;
- relating objects having a strong relationship out of the plurality of objects detected by the step of arranging the object;
- selecting a still image including at least one of the objects detected by the step of relating objects from the plurality of still images;
- and
- outputting the still image selected by the step of selecting a still-image.
A recording medium for recording a program of a method of processing a plurality of still images, the method comprising the steps of:
- detecting an object photographed for each of the still images;
- arranging the object detected by the step of detecting an object with respect to the plurality of still images and detecting an object photographed by the plurality of still images;
- relating objects having a strong relationship out of the plurality of objects detected by the step of arranging the object;
- selecting a still image including at least one of the objects detected by the step of relating objects from the plurality of still images;
- and
- outputting the still image selected by the step of selecting a still-image.
An image processing apparatus for processing a plurality of still images, comprising:
- an object detection section detecting an object photographed for each of the still images;
- an object arrangement section arranging the object detected by the object detection section with respect to the plurality of still images, and detecting an object photographed by the plurality of still images;
- a relating section detecting objects having a strong relationship out of the plurality of objects detected by the object arrangement section;
- a still-image selection section selecting a still image including at least one of the objects detected by the relating section from the plurality of still images;
- and
- a still-image outputting section outputting the still image selected by the still-image selection section.
