At least one of images is displayed on a display (12) to a user. A pointing control element of a user such as a mouse or a touch screen is operated by the user, and a selection command is generated. The selection command includes a selection point in the meta data elements of the image. An area configured of foreground pixels is determined. The area includes pixels connected to the selection point. An extraction area (14) is constructed around the area. Finally, the pixels of the extraction area are processed, and the meta data are extracted. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
