IMAGE ANALYZING DEVICE, IMAGE ANALYZING METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM STORING IMAGE ANALYZING PROGRAM

摘要

An image analyzing device, an image analyzing method, and a recording medium storing an image analyzing program are provided. Each of the image analyzing device, the image analyzing method, and the recording medium storing the image analyzing program recognizes an area where a target is displayed based on a feature value of an input image, generates space recognition information to recognize spatial properties of each portion of the input image, divides the image into a plurality of similar areas according to similarity in feature value of the input image, the similar area having a similar feature value, obtains specified attribute data of the spatial properties to be referred to, from image areas around the recognized area where the target is displayed, recognizes the spatial properties according to the space recognition information, and determines whether a result of recognition is appropriate at the portion where the target is displayed.

主权项

1. An image analyzing device comprising:
a target recognition unit to recognize an area where a target is displayed based on a feature value of an input image to generate a recognition result; a space recognition unit to generate space recognition information to recognize spatial properties of each portion of the input image; a feature dividing unit to divide the image into a plurality of similar areas according to similarity in feature value of the input image, the similar area having a similar feature value; a space specification data obtainer to obtain specified attribute data of the spatial properties to be referred to, from image areas around the recognized area where the target is displayed; and a recognition finalizing unit to recognize the spatial properties according to the space recognition information, and determine whether the recognition result is appropriate at the portion where the target is displayed, based on the distribution of the similar areas of the specified spatial properties in the image areas around the recognized area where the target is displayed.
