Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, in the existing above-mentioned technologies, there is a problem that it is not possible to reconcile the theme of the decoration image data, such as seasons, events, and image quality (image) of the arrangement image data arranged in the decoration image data.
[0005] Also, even in the case of attaching a plurality of layout image data to the decoration image data, there is a possibility that image quality adjustment between the layout image data is not taken into account, and enhancement and weakening cannot be attached to the decoration image data. The problem of multiple configuration image data like

no. 1 Embodiment

[0088] refer to figure 1 An image processing system including the image processing device according to this embodiment will be described. figure 1 It is an explanatory diagram showing a schematic configuration of an image processing system including an image processing device according to this embodiment.

[0089] The image processing system includes: a digital still camera 10 as an input device that generates image data; a personal computer 20 as an image processing device that performs image processing on the basis of image data generated by the digital still camera 10, and outputs output image data ; and a color printer 30 as an output device that outputs an image with the output image data. In addition, the color printer 30 may have the image processing function of the personal computer 20, and in this case, image processing and image output can be performed independently. In addition, as an output device, in addition to the printer 30, a monitor 25 such as a CRT display...

no. 2 Embodiment

[0138] refer to Figure 12 with Figure 13 Image processing in the personal computer 20 as the second embodiment will be described. Figure 12 It is an explanatory diagram schematically showing an output image of output unit data in the second embodiment. Figure 13 It is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the image quality adjustment information GC prescribed in each decoration image data FD of the second embodiment. In addition, since the configuration of the image processing system including the configuration of the personal computer 20 is the same as that already described in the first embodiment, the same reference numerals are attached and descriptions thereof are omitted. again, Figure 12 The output image of the output unit data shown is, for example, a conceptual image representing captured image data GD and decoration image data FD developed on an image buffer, or an image of an output image output to an output medium.

[0139] In the first embodiment, ...

no. 3 Embodiment

[0154] refer to Figure 16 , an outline of the functional configuration of the personal computer 20 (CPU 200 ) related to the third embodiment will be described. Figure 16 It is a functional block diagram showing the personal computer 20 (CPU 200 ) related to the third embodiment. In addition, in the layout control information LI used in the embodiments after the third embodiment, in addition to the arrangement position and the arrangement size of the arrangement image data GD with respect to the decoration image data FD, it also stipulates the arrangement position and arrangement size for each arrangement position. The correction amount, correction level, and priority order of each arrangement position of the arrangement image data GD.

[0155] The personal computer 20 (CPU 200) includes a captured image data selection unit that selects a plurality of captured image data GD to be attached to the decoration image data from a plurality of input captured image data GD, and ana...

Abstract

The CPU (200) acquires one or more captured image data (GD) attached to the decorative image data from the input plurality of captured image data (GD), and acquires image processing control information related to the acquired captured image data. (GI). The CPU (200) acquires desired decoration image data (FD), and acquires layout control information (LI) from the acquired decoration image data (FD). The CPU (200) further acquires image quality adjustment information (GC) from the acquired layout control information (LI). The CPU (200) performs image quality adjustment on the captured image data (GD) using the acquired image processing control information (GI) and image quality adjustment information (GC). The CPU (200) attaches each captured image data (GD) whose image quality has been adjusted to the decoration image data (FD) according to the layout control information (LI), and generates image data for output.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a technique for generating output image data using decorative image data for decorating image data and layout control information specifying the arrangement position and arrangement size of the image data arranged relative to the decorative image data. Background technique [0002] Currently, a technique has been put into practical use for the decoration image data, for example, frame-type decoration image data such as arrangement image data, such as photographed image data, is attached to the decoration image data, and an output image in which the arrangement image is surrounded by the decoration image is output. onto paper media. In this technique, when the arrangement image data is attached to the decoration image data, layout control information composed of a script file describing the arrangement position and arrangement size of the arrangement image data with respect to the decoration image data is used. [0003]...
