Abstract
An information processing apparatus obtains a plurality of images obtained through image capturing by a plurality of image capturing apparatuses, obtains similarity between specific scene information for specifying a specific scene from among respective scenes in the plurality of images and caption information describing a scene in each of the plurality of images, the similarity being calculated based on a vector value corresponding to the specific scene information and a vector value corresponding to the caption information, specifies a scene to be output from among the respective scenes in the plurality of images based on the similarity, and outputs the scene.
Claims14
An information processing apparatus, comprising:
- one or more memories storing one or more programs;
- and
- one or more hardware processors, that when executing the one or more programs, cause the information processing apparatus to:
- obtain a plurality of images obtained through image capturing by a plurality of image capturing apparatuses;
- obtain similarity between specific scene information for specifying a specific scene from among respective scenes in the plurality of images and caption information describing a scene in each of the plurality of images, the similarity being calculated based on a vector value corresponding to the specific scene information and a vector value corresponding to the caption information;
- specify a scene to be output from among the respective scenes in the plurality of images based on the similarity;
- and
- output the specified scene in the image.
An information processing system, comprising:
- a plurality of image capturing apparatuses;
- and
- an information processing apparatus,
- wherein at least one of the plurality of image capturing apparatuses is configured to:
- obtain specific scene information for specifying a specific scene from among one or more scenes in one or more images obtained by image capturing;
- generate caption information describing a scene in one of the one or more images;
- calculate a vector value corresponding to the specific scene information and a vector value corresponding to the caption information;
- calculate similarity between the specific scene information and the caption information based on the vector value corresponding to the specific scene information and the vector value corresponding to the caption information;
- and
- output a metadata-assigned image to which the similarity is assigned as metadata for the image;
- and
- wherein the information processing apparatus is configured to:
- obtain a plurality of the metadata-assigned images output from the plurality of image capturing apparatuses;
- specify a scene to be output from among respective scenes in the plurality of the metadata-assigned images based on the similarity assigned to each of the plurality of the metadata-assigned images as the metadata;
- and
- output the specified scene in the metadata-assigned image.
A method comprising:
- obtaining a plurality of images obtained through image capturing by a plurality of image capturing apparatuses;
- obtaining similarity between specific scene information for specifying a specific scene from among respective scenes in the plurality of images and caption information describing a scene in each of the plurality of images, the similarity being calculated based on a vector value corresponding to the specific scene information and a vector value corresponding to the caption information;
- specifying a scene to be output from among the respective scenes in the plurality of images based on the similarity;
- and
- outputting the specified scene in the image.
