Image evaluation apparatus, image evaluation method, and image evaluation program

An image evaluation method, comprising:

• causing a plurality of images included in a first image group to be input to first image input device;
• causing representative image selection device to select a representative image;
• and
• causing first image evaluation value calculation device to calculate an image evaluation value from a difference between an impression value of the representative image selected by the representative image selection device and an impression value of each of the plurality of images input to the first image input device and an image quality of each of the plurality of images included in the first image group.

A non-transitory recording medium that stores a computer readable program for controlling a computer of an image evaluation apparatus, the program causing the computer to execute:

• inputting a plurality of images included in a first image group;
• selecting a representative image;
• and
• calculating an image evaluation value from a difference between an impression value of the selected representative image and an impression value of each of the plurality of input images and an image quality of each of the plurality of images included in the first image group.

An image evaluation apparatus, comprising:

• a first image input device to which a plurality of images included in a first image group are input;
• a representative image selection device for selecting a representative image;
• and
• a processor;
• wherein the processor calculate an image evaluation value from a difference between an impression value of the representative image selected by the representative image selection device and an impression value of each of the plurality of images input to the first image input device and an image quality of each of the plurality of images included in the first image group.
