APPARATUS AND METHOD OF COLLATING CATEGORIES OF IMAGES

摘要

An image processing apparatus includes: a holding unit that holds a plurality of images; a condition checking unit that checks imaging conditions of the plurality of images; a collation determining unit that determines whether to collate images among the plurality of images based on the imaging conditions of the images; a collation unit that collates the images determined to be collated by the collation determining unit to obtain a degree of similarity; and a classifying unit that classifies the collated images into a same category when the degree of similarity is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold.

1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
a holding unit configured to holding a plurality of images; a condition checking unit configured to check an imaging condition of the plurality of images; a determining unit configured to determine as to whether images among the plurality of images are to be collated or not, based on the imaging condition of each of the plurality of images; a collation unit configured to collate images determined to be collated, to calculate a degree of similarity; and a classifying unit configured to classify the collated images in a same category, when the degree of similarity between the collated images is larger than a predetermined threshold.
