摘要： Exemplary embodiments of the present invention provide a system to generate visual-guidance information in which the system can be reduced in size and cost and which ensures a proper eye flow. A layout unit operates in such a way that a layout image is segmented into multiple regions; the saliency features and positional information of the partial regions are calculated from image data, and the calculated saliency features are weighted. A starting-point region is then detected from among the multiple partial regions from the calculated saliency features and the reference points of the partial regions are detected from a visual-guidance feature space based on the weighted saliency features and the calculated positional information. Then the distance between the detected reference points is calculated and visual-guidance information is generated from the calculated inter-reference-point distance. The visual-guidance information is expressed as a visual-guidance path that passes through the partial regions in sequence, with a starting-point region as a starting point and a partial region having a shortest inter-reference-point distance from the preceding partial region as the following partial region.

摘要： Exemplary embodiments of the invention provide an eye-flow guiding level calculating system which can plan miniaturization and low cost of a device and surely obtain a suitable eye flow. A layout device, first, detects each vertex of an image object as guiding reference points, based on vector image data. And then, for every guiding reference point, two auxiliary lines are virtually formed to intersect the guiding reference point along an outline of the image object. Subsequently, the direction in which a bisector line of an obtuse angle among angles, made by the virtual auxiliary lines, extends outward from the guiding reference point is calculated as an eye-flow guiding direction. Further, for every guiding reference point, the distance from the center G of the image object up to the guiding reference point is calculated as an eye-flow guiding intensity. According to this construction, it is possible to quantitatively calculate in which direction the image object tends to guide the eye-flow.

摘要： Exemplary embodiments provide a line-of-sight guiding degree calculation system that can realize reduction in size and reduction in cost of an apparatus and can obtain an appropriate eye flow surely. First, a layout apparatus approximates an image object to a polygon on the basis of vector image data and detects respective apexes of the approximated image object as guiding reference points. Then, for each of the guiding reference points, the layout apparatus forms two auxiliary lines crossing the guiding reference point imaginarily along a contour of the image object and calculates a direction in which a bisector of an obtuse angle among angles formed by the imaginary auxiliary lines extends outward from the guiding reference point as a line-of-sight guiding direction. In addition, for each of the guiding reference points, the layout apparatus calculates a distance from a center of gravity G of the image object to the guiding reference point as a line-of-sight guiding intensity. Consequently, it can be calculated quantitatively and appropriately in which direction the image object tends to guide a line-of-sight.
