  • Publication number: 20080291488
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes an electronic device, a network and a server. The electronic device has a transmitting unit and a receiving unit, and the transmitting unit provides at least one image data. The network is connected to the electronic device for transmitting the image data. The server is connected to a network for receiving an image data. The server has an image processing unit for detecting a feature of the image data, synthesizing the image data with a media object based on the feature, retrieving the feature to perform one of the synthesis methods with the media object to generate a synthesized image data, and transmitting the synthesized image data to the receiving unit via a network.
