    Abstract: In a histogram intersection calculating apparatus, a histogram intersection calculating unit calculates a histogram intersection to compare histograms of query data and target data to obtain a score value of the histogram intersection. A calculation controlling unit makes the histogram intersection calculating unit calculate the histogram intersection in descending order of bin number of the histogram of the query data from the bin number having the maximum frequency value by using frequency values in the bin numbers of the query data and frequency values in the bin numbers of the target data to obtain a score value of the histogram intersection.

    Abstract: An image generating apparatus including a processor and a memory having instructions stored therein which are executable by the processor to cause the processor to: cause a display to separately and simultaneously display (i) a panoramic image in progress corresponding to images which are captured by an image capturing unit, and (ii) a live-view image corresponding to an image that is newly captured by the image capturing unit while images are being captured by the image capturing unit; receive an instruction to terminate image capture processing for generating panoramic image data while the panoramic image in progress and the live-view image are being displayed; and perform, in response to reception of the instruction, control to record, as a completed panoramic image, panoramic image data generated from the images captured by a time when reception of the instruction is finished, even if images have not yet been captured in a predetermined capture range set in advance for a full panoramic image to be generated.

    Abstract: A digital camera includes an image capturing unit, an image composition unit, and a display control unit. The image capturing unit captures frames at predetermined time intervals. The image composition unit sequentially combines at least a part of image data from image data of a plurality of frames sequentially captured by the image capturing unit at predetermined time intervals. The display control unit performs control to sequentially display image data combined by the image composition unit while the image data of the frames are captured by the image capturing unit at predetermined time intervals.
