Abstract: There is disclosed an image processing apparatus which applies an adjusting process to an image that includes a pixel to be processed. The image processing apparatus extracts an image area with a predetermined size including the pixel to be processed. The apparatus calculates a variation associated with the pixel to be processed from signal values of pixels included in the image area. The apparatus calculates a variation time count in the image area from the signal values of the pixels included in the image area. The apparatus calculates adjusting levels Fz1, Fz2, and Fe from the variation time count and the variation using a definition unit which defines correspondence among the variation time count, the variation, and the adjusting levels, and applies an adjusting process to a signal value of the pixel to be processed by the calculated adjusting levels. Note that the definition unit defines the correspondence so that the adjusting levels Fz1, Fz2, and Fe progressively change in accordance with different variation time counts or different variations.

Abstract: A frequency distribution of luminances is acquired from an image data acquired by optically reading a document. A frequency distribution of luminances of a background of the document is generated using the maximum frequency of the acquired frequency distribution as the maximum frequency of the frequency distribution of the luminances of the background of the document. A difference between the generated frequency distribution of the luminances of the background of the document and the acquired frequency distribution of the luminances is acquired, and the frequency distribution of the luminances of the background of the document is corrected based on the acquired difference.

Abstract: This invention provides a technique for generating a layout which matches preferences of a larger number of persons by selecting images with higher preference evaluations based on not only preference degrees which are explicitly set by the user, and access counts in accordance with browse designations. To this end, an importance degree (preference evaluation value) for a given image is obtained using both a value indicating a preference degree which is explicitly set by the user for that image and an interest degree (automatic preference degree) determined by a browse count. In this case, the preference degree explicitly set by the user is multiplied by a larger weight than the interest degree. Then, images to be laid out on a template are determined according to the importance degrees.
