1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
a controller comprising at least one of an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) or a computer, wherein the controller further comprises:
a grouping preference unit that registers user preference information on a storage device based on a user operation, wherein the user preference information indicates how objects within an image are to be classified into groups;an image analysis unit that detects the objects within the image;a grouping unit that reads the user preference information from the storage device and classifies the objects detected within the image into the groups indicated in the read user preference information; andan image editing unit that edits, if (i) a first user operation for selecting a group designated in the user preference information, and (ii) a second user operation for selecting an edit method for the objects belonging to the selected group, are detected by the input unit, all the objects belonging to the selected group by the edit method selected by the second user operation; and an operation panel mounted to a casing of the image processing apparatus, the operation panel comprising:
an input unit that detects the user operation; anda display unit that displays the image at least one of before and after the edit performed by the image editing unit, wherein:the user preference information includes a broader classification and a sub-classification belonging to the broader classification;a broader classification ID identifies each broader classification;a plurality of the sub-classification IDs identifies a plurality of types, respectively, belonging to the sub-classification;the display unit displays, on a user preference input screen, selectable options that include a first option for selecting all broader classifications, a second option corresponding to each broader classification, and a third option corresponding to each sub-classification;the grouping preference unit registers the user preference information including all of the broader classifications if the first option is selected, registers the user preference information including the broader classification corresponding to the selected second option if the second option is selected, and registers the user preference information including a plurality of the sub-classification corresponding to the third option if the third option is selected;the grouping unit associates the broader classification ID with the object for the broader classification and associates each sub-classification ID with the object for each of the types depending on the sub-classification;the display unit displays a classification list for designating one group of the broader classification and the sub-classification of what is to be edited and an edit method list for designating the edit method; andthe image editing unit identifies all the objects associated with the classification ID, corresponding to either the broader classification ID or the sub-classification ID, of the selected group within the classification list by the first user operation and edits all the identified objects by the selected edit method from the edit method list by the second user operation. |
