  • Publication number: 20240104956
    Abstract: An object is to provide an image accumulation apparatus, a method, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium capable of extracting a characteristic video based on an individual emotion. An image accumulation apparatus according to the present disclosure includes an image acquisition unit, an expression classification unit, and an image accumulation unit. The image acquisition unit acquires image data. The expression classification unit classifies face image data included in the image data into a predetermined emotion. The image acquisition unit accumulates the image data associated with emotion identifiers for identifying the classified emotions so that the image data is distributable to a terminal.
