Image Processing Device for Album Output Form Determination
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image processing technologies fail to determine an appropriate output form for a desired image from a plurality of images, neglecting user preferences and image similarity analysis.
Innovation Solution
An image processing device and method that determine the output form of newly input images based on user preferences and similarity analysis, using previously input image groups to extract and arrange images in an album format, incorporating features like image analysis scores and user-selected image ratios.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If manual determination of output form is performed from multiple captured images, then the quality and appropriateness of the selected image can be ensured, but the operation time and complexity increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically determines the output form by analyzing user preferences from previously input image groups and applying similarity analysis to newly input images, eliminating the need for manual intervention in each selection process while maintaining high-quality results
Solution Approach 2:
The system utilizes feedback from user selections in previously input image groups to learn and determine appropriate output forms for newly input images, creating a self-improving selection mechanism that reduces manual operation time
2Measurement precision
If comprehensive image analysis and similarity comparison are performed across multiple image groups, then the appropriateness of the determined output form is improved, but the processing complexity and computational load increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary analysis on previously input image groups to extract user preferences and establish baseline characteristics before processing new images, reducing the complexity of real-time decision-making
Solution Approach 2:
The determination process is divided into separate modules: image analysis means for extracting features, similarity comparison means for matching images, and output form determination means for final decision-making, allowing each component to be optimized independently

AI summary
Provided are an image processing device that determines a relatively appropriate output form in a case where an output form of an image is determined from a plurality of images, an image processing method, an image processing program, and a recording medium storing the program. Information on a plurality of first image groups used for generation of a previously ordered album is stored in an order reception database. A second image group is transmitted from one user to an order reception server 5 (step S41), and an image group similar to the second image group is found from among the plurality of first image groups (step S52). Images similar to images extracted as images to be used for an album from the found image group are extracted from the second image group (step S53). The extracted images are arranged in the album (step S54). An album similar to the previously ordered album is generated.
