IMAGE MANAGEMENT DEVICE, IMAGE MANAGEMENT METHOD, PROGRAM, RECORDING MEDIUM, AND INTEGRATED CIRCUIT FOR IMAGE MANAGEMENT

摘要

Disclosed is an image management device (100) provided with an image importance calculation unit (107) which calculates the importance of each image; an image selection unit (111) which selects a high-importance image (Im) and a low-importance image (In); a feature amount correction unit (121) which corrects a feature amount of the low-importance image (In) using a feature amount of an object contained in the high-importance image (Im) and a feature amount of an object contained in the low-importance image (In); an image similarity calculation unit (114) which calculates image similarity using the feature amount of the object in the high-importance image (Im) and the feature amount of the object corrected by the feature amount correction unit (121); and an image importance correction unit (117) which corrects the importance of the low-importance image (In) on the basis of the calculated image similarity.
