摘要:
An apparatus includes an extraction unit to extract a feature point in a first image. A determination unit determines a motion vector that corresponds to the feature point extracted from the first image by the extraction unit and a corresponding point that is located in a second image and that has a highest degree of similarity between image data for the feature point and image data for the corresponding point, among candidates of the corresponding point in the second image. A correction unit corrects a first motion vector determined by the determination unit by employing a second motion vector determined by the determination unit. The correction unit employs the second motion vector, in accordance with both of a first degree of similarity between the feature point and the corresponding point, and a second degree of similarity between the feature point and another candidate among the candidates.

When a feature point in a first image is employed to search for corresponding points in a second image, there is a case wherein an appropriate motion vector can not be determined, such as a case wherein multiple corresponding point choices are present, or no corresponding points are found. Therefore, when a corresponding point that has a high similarity to the feature point in the first image is not specified in the second image, a motion vector that is to be determined for a feature point, other than the feature point in the first image, is examined, and a motion vector for this feature point is determined.

An image extracting method that can efficiently extract a predetermined number of images from a large amount of image data and improve user operability. Evaluations for a plurality of images are input. A predetermined number of images are extracted from the plurality of images based on the input evaluations. In a preferred form, the evaluations are sequentially input for respective ones of the plurality of images, preferably, in chronological order.

Main actual color is reproduced unsatisfactory in some cases according to prior art. An image processing method is provided in which the component values of hue, saturation and lightness of an image represented by image data are independently changed. The hue change amount is made different at each hue angle, the saturation change amount is made different for each hue angle and each saturation value, and the lightness change amount is made different at each hue angle.

When printing image data obtained by an input device, the present invention is intended to effectively utilize the color reproduction area of the printer. An image data processing method of the present invention comprises the steps of scale-down shifting a first color space point outside a maximum color reproduction area of an output unit to a second color space point within the maximum color reproduction area of the output unit; computing an amount of shift by which the first color space point is shifted to the second color space point; converting the second color space point to a third color space point within a color reproduction area smaller than the maximum color reproduction area of the output unit; and outputting an image to the output unit using image data obtained by scale-up shifting the third color space point to a fourth color space point within the maximum color reproduction area of the output unit based on the computed shift amount.

In outputting of image data, the image data is converted into color space data suitable for outputting means, and thereby a color reproducing capability of the outputting means is utilized. Thus, the image data is read, the image data is converted into first color space data, the image data is converted into second color space data, the first color space data is outputted to first outputting means, and the second color space data is outputted to second outputting means.
