Abstract
Provided are an image extraction apparatus and an image extraction method of finding a similar image conforming to a user's intention. A similarity determination condition designation window in which a plurality of similarity determination conditions are displayed is displayed. A user selects a desired similarity determination condition from among the plurality of similarity determination conditions displayed in the displayed similarity determination condition designation window. The user can determine a similarity determination condition, and can thus find a similar image conforming to the user's intention.
Claims15
An image extraction apparatus comprising:
- a similarity determination condition reception device for receiving entry of a similarity determination condition for determining whether or not any two images among a plurality of images are similar to each other in a case where the two images are contrasted with each other;
- a similar image group determination device for determining one or a plurality of similar image groups including two or more images similar to each other according to the similarity determination condition received by the similarity determination condition reception device;
- and
- an image extraction device for extracting at least one image from the one or plurality of similar image groups determined by the similar image group determination device.
An image extraction method comprising:
- causing a similarity determination condition reception device to receive entry of a similarity determination condition for determining whether or not any two images among a plurality of images are similar to each other in a case where the two images are contrasted with each other;
- causing a similar image group determination device to determine one or a plurality of similar image groups including two or more images similar to each other according to the similarity determination condition received by the similarity determination condition reception device;
- and
- causing an image extraction device to extract at least one image from the one or plurality of similar image groups determined by the similar image group determination device.
A computer readable program for controlling a computer of an image extraction apparatus to execute:
- receiving entry of a similarity determination condition for determining whether or not any two images among a plurality of images are similar to each other in a case where the two images are contrasted with each other;
- determining one or a plurality of similar image groups including two or more images similar to each other according to the received similarity determination condition;
- and
- extracting at least one image from the determined one or plurality of similar image groups.
An image extraction apparatus comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- receiving entry of a similarity determination condition for determining whether or not any two images among a plurality of images are similar to each other in a case where the two images are contrasted with each other;
- determining one or a plurality of similar image groups including two or more images similar to each other according to the received similarity determination condition;
- and
- extracting at least one image from the determined one or plurality of similar image groups.
