    摘要: A plurality of image data are stored in a hard disk device in correspondence with their image feature amounts. An image is input using an input window. A CPU computes the image feature amount of the input image. The CPU also computes image similarity on the basis of the computed image feature amount and those of image data stored in the hard disk device. A list of image data as search results are displayed on a display unit on the basis of the computed image similarity. Image data stored in the hard disk device are read out into the input window.

    摘要: To generating a mosaic image by combining a plurality of material images, an original image is divided into tiles and a material image having a characteristic similar to that of an image in each tile is applied to the tile. If more than one version of image data having different resolutions is provided as the image data for the material image, a low-resolution version of the image data is used to calculate a characteristic quantity of the image. Thus, the amount of time required to generate the mosaic image can be reduced.

    摘要: An image as a basis of a mosaic image is segmented into M×N areas by the process shown in FIG. 4 (S300), and the image characteristics of the segmented areas (S301), and those of source images (S305) are obtained. When the source image is a moving image, the image characteristics of that moving image are obtained from those of a plurality of still images in the moving image (S304). Source images corresponding to the segmented areas are determined (S309) and pasted (S310), thus generating a mosaic image.

    摘要: In the retrieval of images that resemble a target image from a plurality of images, the image feature quantity of the target image is calculated when the target image is specified. The feature quantity is calculated upon removing an unnecessary area from the specified target image, and retrieval of resembling images is performed using the feature quantity that has been calculated. The unnecessary area is determined automatically based upon a change in luminance in directions vertically and horizontally of the periphery of the target image. Thus, the calculation of feature quantities from which unnecessary portions in an image have been eliminated can be executed with ease and more effective retrieval of resembling images can be carried out.

    摘要: Since a plurality of image data are stored in a single file, high-speed access to image data and easy management of image data are allowed, and information that pertains to each image data can be acquired from a source outside the image file. As an arrangement for this purpose, an image data area (202) continuously stores a plurality of compressed image data. An index area (204) stores reference information to a source outside the file, which pertains to each of the plurality of image data stored in the image data area (202), in the order the plurality of image data are stored. A feature amount data area (203) stores feature amount data obtained from the images stored in the image data area (202). Furthermore, an image information area (201) stores header information including information indicating the start position of each area.

    摘要: A plurality of images and a feature of each of these images are stored in one image file. An attribute information area stores attribute information necessary to read out and display the images stored in the image file. A feature data area continuously stores features of the images stored in the image file. An image data area continuously stores image data of the images stored in the image file. Since one image file has the attribute information, the feature data area continuously storing the features of all images, and the image data area continuously storing all images, high-speed access to the image data and simple management of the image data are realized.
