Abstract: A principal-subordinate relationship between two subjects is decided with regard to multiple subjects included in an image. Similarly, with regard also to other images, a principal-subordinate relationship between two subjects is decided with regard to multiple subjects included in each image. In a case where a relationship exists in which a first subject is a subordinate subject and a second subject is principal subject, the system calculates a principal-subordinate relationship value that is higher than in a case where a relationship in which a first subject is a subordinate subject and a second subject is principal subject does not exist. The greater the number of subjects to which the first subject is subordinate from among the multiple subjects, the lower the principal-subordinate relationship value calculated. On the basis of the calculated principal-subordinate relationship values, a subject evaluation value is calculated for every subject.

Abstract: It is arranged so that one can discern a sentence being read. To accomplish this, a sentence of interest to be read by a user is decided from within a document image, which is a document that has been converted to an image. The position of a display area is decided in the document image in such a manner that the area will contain the sentence of interest that has been decided. The sentence of interest that has been decided is displayed in highlighted form so that it can be distinguished from other sentences. The sentence highlighted is enclosed by a frame and indicated by hatching. The sentence of interest is displayed in highlighted form even when scrolling is performed. Thus the user can more readily discern the sentence that the user is reading.

Abstract: System and method of generating feature descriptors for image identification. Input image is Gaussian-blurred at different scales. A difference of Gaussian space is obtained from differences of adjacent Gaussian-blurred images. Key points are identified in the difference-of-Gaussian space. For each key point, primary sampling points are defined with three dimensional relative positions from key point and reaching into planes of different scales. Secondary sampling points are identified for each primary sampling point. Secondary image gradients are obtained between an image at a primary sampling point and images at secondary sampling points corresponding to this primary sampling point. Secondary image gradients form components of primary image gradients at primary sampling points. Primary image gradients are concatenated to obtain a descriptor vector for input image.
