Abstract
Disclosed herein is an information processing apparatus for carrying out an information registration process to register preference information of a user for an item determined in advance. The information processing apparatus including: image feature quantity extraction means; an object image feature quantity database; an object image preference information database; matching image detection means; and preference information acquisition means.
Claims13
An information processing method, comprising:
- extracting a feature quantity from an image of an object;
- accessing information associated with a plurality of comparison images, the information comprising identifiers assigned to the comparison images, feature quantities corresponding to the comparison images, and preference information associated with the comparison images;
- determining whether the feature quantity of the object image matches a feature quantity of one of the comparison images;
- obtaining preference information associated with the image identifier assigned to the corresponding one of the comparison images, when the feature quantities of the object image and the corresponding comparison image match, the preference information comprising a value indicative of a preference of a user for the object, and the value being determined based on an orientation of the object within the image;
- and
- outputting the obtained preference information.
3 more elements
An information processing apparatus, comprising:
- a storage device;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the storage device, wherein the storage device stores a program for controlling the at least one processor, and wherein the at least one processor, being operative with the program, is configured to:
- extract a feature quantity from an image of an object;
- obtain feature quantities for a plurality of comparison images, the comparison images being associated with corresponding image identifiers;
- determine whether the feature quantity of the object image matches a feature quantity of one of the comparison images;
- obtain preference information associated with the image identifier assigned to the corresponding one of the comparison images, when the feature quantities of the object image and the corresponding comparison image match, the preference information comprising a value indicative of a preference of a user for the object, and the value being determined based on an orientation of the object within the image;
- and
- output the obtained preference information.
6 more elements
A tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform an information processing method, the method comprising the steps of:
- extracting a feature quantity from an image of an object;
- accessing information associated with a plurality of comparison images, the information comprising identifiers assigned to the comparison images, feature quantities corresponding to the comparison images, and preference information associated with the comparison images;
- determining whether the feature quantity of the object image matches a feature quantity of one of the comparison images;
- obtaining preference information associated with the image identifier assigned to the corresponding one of the comparison images, when the feature quantities of the object image and the corresponding comparison image match, the preference information comprising a value indicative of a preference of a user for the object, and the value being determined based on an orientation of the object within the image;
- and
- outputting the obtained preference information.
3 more elements
An information processing method, comprising:
- computing a photographing parameter used in a photographing operation carried out by a user to capture an image of a photographing object determined in advance from said object image, the photographing parameter being indicative of an orientation of the photographing object within the object image;
- generating, based on the computed photographing parameter, preference information comprising a value indicative of a preference of the user for the photographing object;
- and
- outputting the preference information.
1 more element
An information processing apparatus, comprising:
- a storage device;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the storage device, wherein the storage device stores a program for controlling the at least one processor, and wherein the at least one processor, being operative with the program, is configured to:
- compute a photographing parameter used in a photographing operation carried out by a user to capture an image of a photographing object determined in advance from said object image, the photographing parameter being indicative of an orientation of the photographing object within the object image;
- and
- generate, based on the photographing parameter, preference information comprising a value indicative of a preference of the user for the photographing object;
- and
- output the preference information.
5 more elements
