Abstract: Provided are a damage figure creation supporting apparatus, a damage figure creation supporting method, a damage figure creation supporting program, and a damage figure creation supporting system that enable efficient creation of a damage figure using marking colors. The damage figure creation supporting method includes a step of acquiring an image obtained by photographing a surface of a structure in color, a step of analyzing the acquired image and detecting markings applied to damaged portions on the surface of the structure for respective colors, and a step of creating a damage figure, based on detection results of the markings for the respective colors. The damage figure is configured as a diagram of tracing the markings and has a layered structure with layers each corresponding to a color.

Abstract: A layout creation system is for jointly creating order data that determines a layout of a photo book by two or more users of two or more clients connected to a server via a network, and the system retains one piece of joint order data jointly created by the two or more users; receives an instruction to divide the joint order data as input by a relevant user; creates divided order data having the same layout as the joint order data in accordance with the instruction to divide the joint order data; and associates the divided order data with sharing users sharing the divided order data.

Abstract: In the image processing device, the image processing method and the recording medium, the image extractor extracts, from the captured images, captured images regarded as being captured in the same time range, as extracted images. The target image determiner selects an extracted image which were captured by a capturing person who captured largest number of extracted images and with a capturing device of a type used to capture largest number of extracted images, as a target image. The object image determiner selects an extracted image showing a subject similar to a subject present in the target image, as an object image. The color table generator generates a color table for matching colors of the object image to colors of the target image. The color conversion processor carries out the color conversion applying the color table to the object image.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes an obtaining device for obtaining a series of images taken by serially picking up images of an object; and a mosaicking process device for generating a synthesized image by combining the series of images obtained by the obtaining device; wherein the mosaicking process device includes: a coordinate obtaining device for obtaining representative coordinates for each one of the series of images obtained by the obtaining device; an extracting device for extracting an image to be excluded from objects of a mosaicking process from the series of images obtained by the obtaining device, based on a locus of the representative coordinates of each image obtained by the coordinate obtaining device; and a synthesized image generating device for generating an image that is the series of images excluding the image extracted by the extracting device combined as the synthesized image.

Abstract: A user accesses a scrapbook server using a computer and executes a simulation for creating a scrapbook by affixing part images such as photographic images and decorative images to an image of a paper mount utilizing a scrapbook image, which has been created by another person, on the display screen of the computer. A procedural manual in line with the simulation is created. The procedural manual and paper mount, photographs and decorations such as buttons and ribbons for actually creating the scrapbook are bundled into a package and the package is delivered to the user. The user accepts the package and, while viewing the manual and using the bundled paper mount and decorations, actually creates the scrapbook in the manner that was simulated. The creator is given points that differ depending upon how the scrapbook image was utilized.

Abstract: It is so arranged that a scrapbook can be created in conformity with a simulation. To achieve this, a creator accesses a scrapbook server using a computer and executes a simulation for creating a scrapbook by affixing part images such as photographic images and decorative images to an image of a paper mount on the display screen of the computer. A procedural manual in line with the simulation is created. The procedural manual and paper mount, photographs and decorative parts on which heart symbols and the like have been printed are bundled into a package and the package is delivered to the residence of the creator. Positioning lines for superimposing parts are printed on the parts. A scrapbook conforming to the simulation can be created by superimposing parts along the positioning lines.

Abstract: Decorative images for creating a scrapbook are printed efficiently. To achieve this, a creator accesses a scrapbook server using a computer and executes a simulation for creating a scrapbook by affixing part images such as photographic images and decorative images to an image of a paper mount on the display screen of the computer. When a paper mount, photographs and decorative images, etc., for actually creating the scrapbook are printed on paper or the like by the creator him/herself, the decorative images are printed upon being arranged in order of decreasing area of rectangles that enclose the decorative images. The decorative images are placed and printed automatically in an efficient manner.
