IMAGE MANAGEMENT METHOD AND DEVICE, RECORDING MEDIUM, AND PROGRAM

摘要

It is possible to surely and quickly search a desired image. A keyword search unit (121) searches a keyword set in the image data from the recording medium according to the keyword. An imaging information search unit (122) searches the imaging information set in the image data from the recording medium according to the imaging information. A similar information set image search unit (114) searches similar image data as image data having a high correlation with the searched keyword or the imaging information according to the searched keyword or imaging information by the keyword search unit (121) or the imaging information search unit (122). A keyword extraction unit (115) extracts a keyword from the similar image data. A keyword setting unit (116) sets the extracted keyword on the image data searched by the keyword search unit (121) or the imaging information search unit (122). Thus, it is possible to quickly and surely search a desired image. The present invention can be applied to an image management device.
