Abstract
In an image processing apparatus, an image acquiring section acquires a group of candidate images for use in creating a recommended composite image to be proposed to a user; an image analysis information acquiring section acquires image analysis information on each image of the group of candidate images; a theme determining section determines a theme of the group of candidate images based on the image analysis information on each image of the group of candidate images; a template selecting section selects a template for use in creating a recommended composite image based on the theme of the group of candidate images; and a layout section creates a recommended composite image in which images of the group of candidate images are laid out in the template.
Claims19
An image processing apparatus, comprising:
- an image acquiring section configured to acquire one or more groups of candidate images for use in creating a recommended composite image to be proposed to a user;
- an image analysis information acquiring section configured to, for each of the one or more groups of candidate images, acquire image analysis information on each image of the group of candidate images;
- a theme determining section configured to, for each of the one or more groups of candidate images, determine a theme of the group of candidate images based on the image analysis information on each image of the group of candidate images;
- a template selecting section configured to, for each of the one or more groups of candidate images, select one or more templates for use in creating a recommended composite image based on the theme of the group of candidate images;
- and
- a layout section configured to, for each of the one or more groups of candidate images, create one or more recommended composite images in each of which images of the group of candidate images are laid out in each of the one or more templates.
An image processing method, comprising:
- a step of acquiring, by an image acquiring section, one or more groups of candidate images for use in creating a recommended composite image to be proposed to a user;
- a step of, for each of the one or more groups of candidate images, acquiring image analysis information on each image of a group of candidate images by an image analysis information acquiring section;
- a step of, for each of the one or more groups of candidate images, determining a theme of the group of candidate images based on the image analysis information on each image of the group of candidate images by a theme determining section;
- a step of, for each of the one or more groups of candidate images, selecting one or more templates for use in creating a recommended composite image based on the theme of the group of candidate images by a template selecting section;
- and
- a step of, for each of the one or more groups of candidate images, creating one or more recommended composite images in each of which images of the group of candidate images are laid out in each of the one or more templates by a layout section.
