APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING IMAGE

摘要

A classifying unit classifies a plurality of images by attributes. An obtaining unit obtains image characteristic information indicating an image characteristic from each of classified images. A first generating unit generates a characteristic amount vector for each of the images using the attributes and the image characteristic. A determining unit determines display positions of thumbnail images of the images based on the characteristic amount vector. A second generating unit generates the thumbnail images and a list of thumbnail images in which the thumbnail images are arranged in the display positions.
