摘要:
A moving image data management apparatus which manages moving image data and representative image data by using one or plural representative image data in correspondence with each moving image data. A thumbnail representing an arbitrary section in a moving image represented by moving image data is generated, and stored in a thumbnail area of the moving image file. Indexes corresponding to the respective thumbnails are stored in an index area of the moving image file. Each index includes start point/end point indicating a section in moving image data represented by the thumbnail image and attribute information indicating usage of the thumbnail. By this attribute information, operability of moving image data using representative images can be improved upon execution of various moving image data processing, and management of the representative images can be simplified.
摘要:
An information input apparatus for inputting content information and obtaining attribute information for identifying the content information. By transmitting the obtained attribute information to other apparatuses when the content information is input, attribute information can be easily added to the content information. Then, the attribute information added to the content information can be distributed.

Even when captions of a plurality of objects use an identical anchor expression, the present invention can associate an appropriately explanatory text in a body text as metadata with the objects.
摘要:
A page image is acquired. Area information that includes information on existence or absence of a text area and a picture area is extracted from the acquired page image. The page image is divided into a plurality of blocks. An image feature amount of each of the divided blocks is calculated. Whether the page image includes a picture area is determined on the basis of the extracted area information and the calculated image feature amounts of the blocks.

In the display of a search result using a virtual space, the display and operation in the space is associated with an addition and change of search instruction to facilitate to grasp the content and to operate a search. A plurality of contents each of which having a keyword is arranged in the virtual space and displayed on a display screen. When one key is set, a content to be a search target is selected from among the plurality of contents based on a position at which the key is set, a search is performed on the selected search target with the set key, and an arrangement of the contents is changed and displayed based on a relationship with the key and the plurality of contents.
摘要:
An image processing apparatus successively designates each page of an input page image as a processing target, detects an anchor expression constituted by a specific character string, and associates a highlight position corresponding to the anchor expression with a link identifier. When the anchor expression and the link identifier are registered in a link configuration management table, if the same anchor expression is already registered in the table, the apparatus updates the table in such a way as to mutually associate the link identifiers of the same anchor expression. The apparatus generates page data of an electronic document based on a link identifier relating to a processing target page image and its highlight position and transmits the generated page data. The apparatus generates information usable to link the relevant link identifiers based on the link configuration management table, after completing the processing for all pages, and transmits the generated information.

An object of this invention is to provide a data structure description method and processing method, which can present the contents of data to the user in every devices as much as possible. A data processing method of this invention has a parsing step of parsing a structured document having second data which is included in first data described in a first markup language, is described in a second markup language, and is required to present contents corresponding to the first data, and a processing step of executing, if it is determined in a determination step that a part described in the first markup language of the parsed structured document cannot be understood, a process of data on the basis of a part described in the second markup language.
摘要:
An image processing apparatus reduces two input images to be compared by the predetermined number of times to generate two image groups, extracts a plurality of feature points and a local feature amount of each feature point from these image groups, and determines a combination of feature points in which local feature amounts are similar to each other, between the image groups. Then, the image processing apparatus determines a relation of a reasonable combination, assigns high weights to the reasonable combination, and calculates a similarity degree between the two input images.
摘要:
When retrieving an image from an archive of stored images that is similar to an inputted image, an image-processing apparatus (200) extracts more than one characteristic point from the inputted image (S504), computes a characteristic amount for the characteristic points thus extracted (S505), and evaluates the fluctuation in the characteristic amount when a prescribed alteration is applied to the inputted image (S506). The image-processing apparatus selects a characteristic point from among the characteristic points thus extracted from the inputted image, and retrieves (S508) a stored image that is similar to the inputted image, in accordance with the characteristic amount of the characteristic point thus selected.
摘要:
An image processing method performs reduction processing on an input image to acquire a reduced image, extracts a feature point from a group of images including the input image and one or more of the reduced images, determines as a matched feature point the feature point extracted from a matching position in each of two or more images in the group of images, calculates a local feature quantity of the matched feature point determined by the determination unit, and registers the calculated local feature quantity as a local feature quantity of the input image.
