Abstract
An image processor is provided that includes an image priority order determining processor, an image arranging processor, and a composite image creating processor. The image priority order determining processor determines priority order among a plurality of images based on predetermined priority information. The image arranging processor arranges the plurality of images with a layout that distinguishes images having higher priority in the priority order. The composite image creating processor synthesizes the plurality of images arranged by the image arranging processor into a composite image and stores the composite image in memory.

An image processor, comprising:
- an image priority order determining processor that determines priority order among a plurality of images based on predetermined priority information;
- an image arranging processor that arranges said plurality of images in a layout that distinguishes images that have higher priority in said priority order;
- and
- a composite image creating processor that synthesizes said plurality of images arranged by said image arranging processor into a composite image and stores said composite image in memory.
A camera comprising:
- an image priority order determining processor that determines priority order among a plurality of images based on predetermined priority information;
- an image arranging processor that arranges said plurality of images with a layout that distinguishes images having higher priority in said priority order;
- and
- a composite image-creating processor that synthesizes said plurality of images arranged by said image-arranging processor into a composite image and stores said composite image in memory.
An image processing method:
- comprising
- determining an image priority order among a plurality of images based on predetermined priority information;
- arranging said plurality of images with a layout that distinguishes images having higher priority in said priority order;
- synthesizing said plurality of images into a composite image;
- and
- storing said composite image in memory.
A computer readable medium comprising computer executable instructions for carrying out a method comprising:
- determining an image priority order among a plurality of images base on predetermined priority information;
- arranging said plurality of images with a layout that distinguishes images having higher priority in said priority order;
- synthesizing said plurality of images into a composite image;
- and
- storing said composite image in memory.
