Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, in the aforementioned prior art, since the images are displayed in a scatter diagram, the distance reflects the difference of the images, so some images overlap and some images are arranged at a certain distance
Considering the space efficiency of the display screen and the effective display of images, this method is not enough
Also, since the above prior art determines the arrangement of images based on characteristic values ​​such as color and brightness of the image data, the positions of the images on the screen cannot reflect the positions of the cameras when these images were taken

Embodiment Construction

[0030] 1 shows that an image viewer 10 is composed of a control device 11 , an image input device 12 , an input operation device 13 , a first storage section 14 , a second storage section 15 and a display device 16 . A control device 11 is connected to the various components of the image viewer in order to control them.

[0031] The image input device 12 is a device for inputting image data, that is, an image data acquisition device for acquiring image data from a user. For example, a memory card reader, a CD-ROM drive, or the like can be used as the image input device 12 .

[0032] The input operation device 13 is an input device which is operated by the user to input many kinds of data including positional data which will be mentioned later. When operated by the user, the input operation device 13 outputs an operation signal to the control device 11 . The input operation device 13 is, for example, a keyboard, a mouse, or the like.

Abstract

In an image viewer , a lot of image data files are registered in a database. In each image data file, positional data is attached to image data, indicating a camera location at which the image data is captured. An image arrangement decider gets the positional data from the image data files, and decides a lattice arrangement of registered images based on the positional data such that the relative positions of the images in the lattice correspond to the correlations between the camera locations of these images. A control device controls a display device to display the images tightly in the decided arrangement on a screen. Information relating to the camera locations of the images, e. g. borders, place names or a map, may be retrieved based on the attached positional data from another database, and displayed in addition to the images.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image viewer for efficiently displaying many images on a screen, the many images being image data registered in an image database. Background technique [0002] Imaging devices like digital cameras are popular these days. Since the imaging device stores the captured images as image data, the captured images can be used for inspection on the screen of the display device without printing them out. In order to manage the image data of a huge number of images, it is desirable to register the image data in the image database in such a manner that the image data can be efficiently extracted and displayed. [0003] As a method for efficiently extracting and displaying target image data, a method based on visualization of hierarchical image features is known, for example, US Patent Application 2003 / 0093437. According to this method, a distance metric is calculated based on characteristic values ​​of image data, such as col...
