Abstract: An object of the present disclosure is to create an album having both the contents common to all persons and the contents in accordance with each individual. One embodiment of the present disclosure is an apparatus that creates an album for each main object, which consists of a plurality of double-page spreads including a common double-page spread used in common in at least two albums and an individual double-page spread corresponding to the main object and has a calculation unit configured to calculate a candidate number of individual double-page spreads that is set for all the albums for each album and a determination unit configured to determine the minimum candidate among the candidates calculated by the calculation unit as the number of individual double-page spreads for all the albums.

Abstract: A control method for an image processing apparatus that generates a plurality of pieces of album data including a common page, which is a page common to all of the plurality of pieces of album data, and an individual page, which is a page not common to all of the plurality of pieces of album data, includes performing control in such a manner that cover image data corresponding to an image to be placed in a cover of each album is selected as individual image data or common image data.

Abstract: An apparatus generates a plurality of albums including a first album and a second album and includes a page generation unit to generate common pages to be arranged in both albums and individual pages including a first individual page to be arranged in the first album and not in the second album and a second individual page to be arranged in the second and not in the first. The first album is album data that a first object is set as a main object. An image including the first object is arranged in the first individual page. The second album is album data that a second object is set as a main object. An image including the second object is arranged in the second individual page. A determination unit determines an arrangement order of the common pages and the individual pages.

Abstract: A calculation unit calculates a first error for a boundary region of an image represented by image data, calculates a second error for a non-boundary region different from the boundary region, and calculates an error between label data and an estimation result based on the first error and the second error. And an influence of the first error on the calculation by the calculation unit is controlled to be smaller than an influence of the second error on the calculation by the calculation unit.

Abstract: A control method for an image processing apparatus includes one or a plurality of specified pieces of image data and a plurality of evaluated templates. A plurality of layout images are generated by arranging the specified one or plurality of pieces of image data with respect to one or a plurality of slots included in each of the plurality of templates. At least one layout image out of the plurality of layout images is specified at least based on evaluations of the plurality of templates. The specified at least one layout image is output.

Abstract: A control method for an image processing apparatus that generates a plurality of pieces of album data including a common page, which is a page common to all of the plurality of pieces of album data, and an individual page, which is a page not common to all of the plurality of pieces of album data, includes performing control in such a manner that cover image data corresponding to an image to be placed in a cover of each album is selected as individual image data or common image data.

Abstract: A control method includes outputting an estimated feature value based on first layout data generated based on a first album creation parameter, generating a second album creation parameter based on the output estimated feature value, generating third layout data based on the generated second album creation parameter and an image used for second layout data generated by a user, updating the first album creation parameter to a third album creation parameter based on a feature value based on the generated third layout data and a feature value based on the second layout data, performing verification of the third album creation parameter, and generating fourth layout data based on the third album creation parameter when a result of the verification of the third album creation parameter is a first result, and not generating when the result of the verification of the third album creation parameter is a second result.

Abstract: An object of the present disclosure is to create an album having both the contents common to all persons and the contents in accordance with each individual. One embodiment of the present disclosure is an apparatus that creates albums for each main object, which consist of a plurality of double-page spreads including a common double-page spread used in common in at least two albums and an individual double-page spread corresponding to the main object.

Abstract: A control method performs a learning loop and includes acquiring first layout data generated based on a first album creation parameter from a server to which layout data generated by a user is uploaded, outputting an estimated feature value based on the first layout data, generating a second album creation parameter based on the output estimated feature value, generating third layout data based on the generated second album creation parameter and an image used for second layout data acquired from the server, and updating the first album creation parameter and the third album creation parameter based on a feature value based on the generated third layout data and a feature value based on the second layout data.
