An image as a basis of a mosaic image is segmented into MxN areas by the process shown in FIG. 4 (S 300 ), and the image characteristics of the segmented areas (S 301 ), and those of source images (S 305 ) are obtained. When the source image is a moving image, the image characteristics of that moving image are obtained from those of a plurality of still images in the moving image (S 304 ). Source images corresponding to the segmented areas are determined (S 309 ) and pasted (S 310 ), thus generating a mosaic image.
