  • Patent number: 11715328
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus, an image processing method, and an image processing program capable of selecting an image having common characteristics with a previously selected image, and a recording medium storing the program are provided. In a case where an image of a child and a father captured together is included in common in a first image selected from a first image group and a second image selected from a second image group, a speech balloon 200 for notifying a user to select such an image IR1 from a target image group is displayed on a display panel 21 of a smartphone. In a case where the user selects the image IR1 of the child and the father captured together, common characteristics with a previously selected image are maintained.

  • Patent number: 11495010
    Abstract: A portable terminal includes an extraction unit and a display control unit. The extraction unit extracts a part of a display image displayed on a touch panel display, as an extraction image used as a compositing target image. The display control unit, in a case where a plurality of regions having different areas are included in the extraction image used as the compositing target image, removes at least one of the plurality of regions in order of area based on an operation amount of an operation input by a user.

  • Patent number: 11176378
    Abstract: An image receiving unit receives an input of an image set owned by a first user, an image analyzing unit analyzes each image included in the image set, a tag information setting unit sets tag information items to be assigned to each image based on an analyzing result of each image, and a tag information assigning unit assigns, as main tag information, the tag information, among the tag information items to be assigned to the image, for which a ratio of the number of times of appearances of the tag information to be assigned to the image to the total number of times of appearances of all the tag information items to be assigned to all the images included in the image set is equal to or greater than a first threshold value and is equal to or less than a second threshold value, to the image, for each image.

  • Patent number: 11170206
    Abstract: Provided are an image processing device, an image processing method, a program, and a recording medium which are capable of classifying a plurality of persons appearing in an image set into groups. In an image processing device, an image processing method, a program, and a recording medium according to an embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of persons appearing in an image set is determined. In a case where two or more persons among the plurality of persons appear in the image based on a determination result of the plurality of persons for each image included in the image set, co-occurrence relation information indicating that the two or more persons have a co-occurrence relation in the image is stored. A co-occurrence score indicating strength of the co-occurrence relation of two persons in the image set is calculated based on all the co-occurrence relation information items in the image for each permutation of the two persons of the plurality of persons.

  • Patent number: 11170546
    Abstract: Provided are an image processing apparatus, an image processing method, and an image processing program capable of relatively easily creating text representing a description of an image. From a plurality of images selected from an image group, text describing the plurality of images is generated according to a text generation method. Generated text is displayed in a first text display region and a second text display region. In a case where text is corrected by a user, the text generation method is updated. More accurate text is generated.
