Image composition determining apparatus, image composition determining method and program

摘要

A composition determining apparatus includes a subject detecting unit configured to detect one or more specific subjects in an image based on image data; a subject orientation detecting unit configured to detect subject orientation information indicating an orientation in the image of the subject detected by the subject detecting unit, the detection of the subject orientation information being performed for each of the detected subjects; and a composition determining unit configured to determine a composition based on the subject orientation information. When a plurality of subjects are detected by the subject detecting unit, the composition determining unit determines a composition based on a relationship among a plurality of pieces of the subject orientation information corresponding to the plurality of subjects.
