Abstract

For generating photo albums on events such as weddings, the photo albums can always be generated in the same quality. A professional photographer photographs the bride and groom on a wedding. Images are read from a developed film and stored in a file server. Selection of the images to be included in the album is carried out with reference to an editing screen including a catalog display field having image data sets representing the images and a template display field displaying a template. A template used for generating a photo album is added with composition information representing composition of images to be inserted in image insertion areas therein. When an operator selects one of the images to be inserted in the image insertion areas with reference to an editing screen, processing information representing a magnification ratio and/or a trimming position is generated based on the composition information so that the selected image has the composition appropriate for the image insertion area. The selected image is processed according to the processing information.

Fig. 3 is the figure of expression editing pictures example.As shown in Figure 3, in editing pictures 30, comprise the general chart viewing area 31 of a display image general chart, template for displaying zone 33 and the tool box 35 that the template of navigational figure is inserted in demonstration.

In general chart viewing area 31, show scroll bars 31A can't be shown in an image in the picture by making its move left and right, can showing.

Here, in example shown in Figure 3, comprise 4 images in the template in being shown in template for displaying zone 33 and insert regional 1-a, 1-b, 1-c, 2-a, wherein show navigational figure respectively.

Navigational figure is to insert the image that inserts the image of which composition among regional 1-a, 1-b, 1-c, the 2-a at each image to operating personnel's notice of carrying out the photograph album editing operating.Here, whom no matter the commission user of photograph album of the shooting that is used to make the incident photograph album is, all can carry out under identical place, same condition.For example, as mentioned above, the bride and bridegroom's on celebration of marriage same day shooting is carried out in the place of determining in the hotel, and carries out the scene that cuts into a cake in the scene of exchange ring in the celebration of marriage or the wedding dinner etc. under the situation of determining.

Therefore, the image that inserts among regional 1-a, 1-b, 1-c, the 2-a by the image of establishing the insertion template has same patterned for the whole users that select same template, can make the constant quality of photograph album as far as possible.Therefore, as navigational figure, can use by using expression should insert illustration, simple, straight-forward style of writing or module that image inserts the composition in the zone and under the place of reality or situation, carry out and take the sampled images that obtains etc.In addition, in the present embodiment, establish and insert the sampled images that uses module.

In addition, in template for displaying zone 33, be presented under the situation that template has a plurality of pages, be used for switching arrow button 33A, the 33B of the template page that is shown in template for displaying zone 33.Operating personnel are by clicking arrow button 33A, 33B, the changeable page that is shown in the template in the editing pictures 30.

In tool box 35, go back clear display and brush etc. to view data implement the processing of change image quality button, eliminate blood-shot eye illness or eliminate scar etc. and view data is implemented to repair the button, rotation etc. of treatment of picture view data is implemented the button of processing treatment of picture and the confirming button that is used for end process.

Operating personnel see that by the limit editor of editing pictures 30 limits execution photograph album indicates executive editor's operation.Particularly, select composition and the navigational figure uniform images of inserting in the image insertion zone from an image general chart, the image with input unit 17 drag and drop are chosen inserts in the zone thereby the image of choosing is inserted image.After the insertion, insert the zone by selecting this image, and the button of click tools case 35, the image that is inserted in the image insertion zone of choosing can be edited.For example, can come to the right image rotating 90 degree by clicking rotary knob.In addition, by clicking clear and brush, the image quality of variable image.In addition, eliminate blood-shot eye illness or eliminate the scar button, can repair image by clicking.

Here, in the 1st execution mode, give the composition information that image that expression should insert the template of being represented by this template data inserts the image composition in the zone to template data.For example, as shown in Figure 4, in the head of template data, the image that the template T1 that is represented by this template data is inserted in record expression inserts the composition information 1-4 of the image composition among regional 1-a, 1-b, 1-c, the 2-a.

As composition information, can use and to determine to insert the various information that image inserts the image composition of the insertion image in the zone.Particularly, can use the arrangement of the quantity that is contained in the kind that should insert the subject in the image, the position of the subject in the image, the color of subject, identical subject, the subject when comprising a plurality of subject, size that image inserts the zone, with respect to the various information such as blank size of subject at least one.

For example, insert under the situation about should insert among the regional 1-a bride and bridegroom two people's the composition image that faces upward at image, image inserts the composition information 1 expression composition shown in Figure 5 of regional 1-a.Particularly, the size that image inserts regional 1-a comprises following 6 conditions, be that x direction (promptly horizontal) is 960 pixels, y direction (promptly vertical) is 640 pixels, comprises two personages, and two faces are arranged side by side, blank around the personage of right side, two personages' centre is consistent with the center of image, and left side personage's facial features are contained in the regional A1 shown in Figure 5, and right side personage's facial features are contained in the regional A2 shown in Figure 5.In addition, under composition information comprises situation to the size of the blank of subject, in condition, add for example be used for determining top apart from the pixel number of the regional amplitude of the head of personage's face and be used to specify the left side and the right side respectively apart from the pixel number of the regional amplitude of left and right sides ear or the magnitude proportion of blank and personage's face.

In addition, when operating personnel selected to insert the image that image inserts the zone (below be called insert image), photograph album editor PC1 inserted the composition information in zone with reference to image, generates expression and inserts the magnification ratio of image and the machining information of trim locations.Here, when selecting image G1 shown in Fig. 6 (a) when inserting image and insert insertion image among the regional 1-a, photograph album editor PC1 inserts each condition in the composition information 1 of regional 1-a with reference to being contained in image, be identified as to insert in the image and comprise two personages, and from image G1, extract personage's face zone.Particularly, the area of skin color that is contained in the circular among the image G1 by extraction extracts the face zone.And, extract two face zones that the face zone is arranged side by side and the personage's ambient color right side is a white.

Then, determine magnification ratio and the trim locations of image G1, make the center in two face zones consistent, left side personage's facial features are contained in the regional A1 shown in Figure 5 with the center that image inserts regional 1-a, and right side personage's facial features are contained in the regional A2, insert the consistent size of regional 1-a with image.Afterwards, generate the definite magnification ratio of expression and the machining information of trim locations.In addition, as trim locations, can be expressed as the side-play amount of 2 dimension directions that the relative image in center that amplifies the insertion image after dwindling inserts the center of regional 1-a.Particularly, the centre coordinate of the image after amplification can being dwindled inserts the x direction of centre coordinate of regional 1-a and the pixel number that moves of y direction is made as trim locations relative to image.Here, if with reference to the machining information that generates, then carry out processing, finishing is by the zone of dotted line shown in Fig. 6 (b), to be suitable for the size that image inserts regional 1-a.

In addition, the insertion image of operating personnel's selection does not sometimes satisfy the full terms that is contained in the composition information.At this moment, preferably,,, just can generate machining information as long as only satisfy the high condition of priority even if do not satisfy full terms to being contained in the additional priority of condition in the composition information.For example, in composition information shown in Figure 5, under 2,3 the situation of only satisfying condition, generate machining information.

In addition, with regard to each condition being given point (point), also the composition information condition of inserting image can be revealed, cross under the situation of setting, generate machining information in the total of point.For example, in composition information shown in Figure 5, condition 2 is made as 5 points, condition 3 is made as 3 points, condition 4 is made as 1 point,, then generate machining information if the total of putting is crossed 7 points.

In addition, by inserting image, magnification ratio and trim locations either party all are suitable for composition information sometimes.With regard to this insertion image, only generate magnification ratio and the trim locations either party gets final product as machining information.

Here, with regard to the image that generates machining information inserts the zone, for example carry out color that the change image inserts regional frame, insert to image and in this general chart, show after sequence number that what sign, display image insert the zone, sequence number that general chart display image inserts the zone are given in the zone and determine to insert image etc., after also can generating machining information, in editing pictures 30, show and determine to insert image.In addition, also can insert the zone or show the information that generates machining information near it, carry out the processing of change image quality or repaired treatment of picture inserting image so that know at the image that generates machining information.
