Patent number: 7440595Abstract: A method for processing images that reduces an enormous number of images down to images suitable for measuring a similarity index and that measures the similarity index between the reduced number of images more suitably. Image data and attribute information stored in an HDD are read, and an image data unit is selected as a reference on the basis of displaying data according to an image-displaying program. Then, a similarity-measuring program is activated, and the attribute information of the selected image data unit is compared with the attribute information of other image data units. An image data unit to be used for measuring the similarity index is determined, and the similarity index is measured between the selected image data unit and the determined image data units.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2003Date of Patent: October 21, 2008Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Akihiro Kohno

Patent number: 7249317Abstract: This invention allows easy update of an image to be included in a document which is submitted on the network. For this purpose, data that set the image sensing times and image sensing states of a camera (111) the pan angle, tilt angle, and zoom ratio of which can be varied, are stored in an HD (106). If one of the stored times has been reached, image sensing is done in accordance with the set contents, and the obtained image is stored in the HD (106). Upon launching a candidate edit program, an old document inserted with images is displayed on a CRT (103). When a desired image is designated, it is substituted by a new, sensed image candidate corresponding to that designation position. The created document is then uploaded to a WWW server.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2000Date of Patent: July 24, 2007Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Hisao Nakagawa, Tadashi Yamakawa, Eiji Kato, Akihiro Kohno, Yoichi Kamei
