Abstract
This invention enables an intention of a photographer to be reflected with greater accuracy in image processing based on actions performed by the photographer when taking an image. Based on user information acquired by a user information acquisition section, supplementary information such as whether a composition flag is on or off and assignment of an image classification is recorded with an image. Based on the supplementary information, various types of image processing such as setting an image trimming range, imparting an effect, and arranging an image on a mount are performed.
Claims12
An information processing apparatus, comprising:
- a photographer information acquisition section which acquires photographer information that is information relating to actions of a photographer before starting to take an image;
- a processing contents decision section which decides contents of processing with respect to the image based on the photographer information that is acquired by the photographer information acquisition section;
- and
- a failed image determination section which determines whether or not the image is an image with respect to which imaging has failed,
- wherein the photographer information includes at least one member of the group comprising whether to perform a composition confirmation, whether to perform an imaging preparation operation, a position of an imaging device, an elapsed time until starting to take an image, and a movement of an imaging device until starting to take an image,
- wherein in a case where the photographer information includes information indicating that a composition confirmation is performed, the processing contents decision section sets an image processing range of a predetermined aspect ratio based on a predetermined position in the image, and in a case where the photographer information includes information indicating that a composition confirmation is not performed, the processing contents decision section sets an image processing range of a predetermined aspect ratio based on a main subject in the image;
- and
- wherein in a case where the photographer information includes information indicating that a composition confirmation is performed and the failed image determination section determines that the image is a failed image, the processing contents decision section excludes the image from candidates for which processing contents are decided.
A computer-executable information processing method for execution by a computer, wherein the computer performs the steps of:
- acquiring photographer information that is information relating to actions of a photographer before starting to take an image;
- and
- deciding contents of processing with respect to the image based on the photographer information;
- and
- determining whether or not the image is an image with respect to which imaging has failed,
- wherein the photographer information includes at least one member of the group comprising whether to perform a composition confirmation, whether to perform an imaging preparation operation, a position of an imaging device, an elapsed time until starting to take an image, and movement of an imaging device until starting to take an image,
- wherein in a case where the photographer information includes information indicating that a composition confirmation is performed, a step is performed to set an image processing range of a predetermined aspect ratio based on a predetermined position in the image, and in a case where the photographer information includes information indicating that a composition confirmation is not performed, a step is carried out that sets an image processing range of a predetermined aspect ratio based on a main subject in the image, and
- wherein in a case where the photographer information includes information indicating that a composition confirmation is performed and the image is determined to be a failed image, a step is performed to exclude the image from candidates for which processing contents are decided.
