Image processing apparatus, image processing method, and program

摘要

To make it easier to grasp characters that appear across different images by determining a pair of character area images to be a combination target based on a degree of similarity or a position of each character area image extracted from different images, and connecting and combining overlapping area images that are the determined pair of character area images and that have a similar image feature amount.

主权项

1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
an extraction unit configured to extract one or more character area images from an image; a determination unit configured to determine a pair of character area images to be a combination target based on a degree of similarity of an image feature in each character area image extracted by the extraction unit from different images; and a combination unit configured to combine the determined pair of character area images to form a combined character area image, wherein the combination unit is configured to compare a dynamic range of each overlapping area image and combine using the overlapping area image having the larger dynamic range.
