20090147131 | IMAGE EDITING APPARATUS, IMAGE EDITING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM STORING IMAGE EDITING PROGRAM - An image editing apparatus capable of easily setting an aspect ratio for use when edited image data are output. The image editing apparatus includes a determination unit for determining, among a plurality of images, which of vertically long images or horizontally long images are larger in the number of images, a decision unit for deciding an aspect ratio of images which are the largest in the number of images among the vertically or horizontally long images, whichever are determined as being larger in number by the determination unit, and an output unit for outputting the plurality of images at the aspect ratio decided by the decision unit. | 06-11-2009 |
20090157696 | IMAGE SHARING SYSTEM, IMAGE MANAGING SERVER, AND CONTROL METHOD AND PROGRAM THEREOF - An image processing apparatus determines categories for classifying image data based on shooting information of the image data, generates an update information file for each category, and uploads the update information file along with the image data to an image managing server. A client terminal registers, in advance, the address of a desired update information file, and periodically checks the update information file in the image managing server. If the update information file indicates that new image data has been added to the image managing server, the image data is downloaded in accordance with the file path described in the update information file. | 06-18-2009 |
20090303341 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND PROGRAM - An image processing apparatus for applying image processing to image data by adjusting values of a plurality of adjustment items, comprises an acquisition unit configured to acquire a characteristic of the image data by analyzing the image data, a decision unit configured to decide an order of settings of the values of the plurality of adjustment items based on the acquired characteristic of the image data, and a display unit configured to display value setting fields used to set the values of the adjustment items on a screen in accordance with the decided order. | 12-10-2009 |
20110169982 | IMAGE MANAGEMENT APPARATUS, METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME, AND STORAGE MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM THEREFOR - An image management apparatus which makes it possible to classify picked-up images according to the occasion of going-out without burdening a user. An information processing apparatus manages a plurality of image files obtained through shooting processing by an image pickup apparatus, and acquires GPS information indicative of a location of the image pickup apparatus and a time when the location was detected. The information processing apparatus sets one record of the GPS information as reference start time information, and retrieves a GPS information record indicative of a location identical to the location indicated by the reference start time information, as reference end information. The information processing apparatus classifies image files of respective shooting times occurring between a time indicated by the reference start time information and a time indicated by the reference end time information, into the same group. | 07-14-2011 |
20110206352 | IMAGE EDITING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME, AND STORAGE MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM - The present invention is directed to an image editing apparatus that automatically selects an appropriate frame rate that improves image quality of a new moving image generated by combining a plurality of moving images having different frame rates to prevent a user from working much on the selection, when the user newly creates a moving image. The image editing apparatus of the present invention classifies a plurality of moving images to be combined into groups based on a frame rate, compares an amount of moving images included in each of the groups, and selects the group having the largest amount of moving images belonging thereto. Further, the image editing apparatus compares the amounts of the moving images for respective frame rates included in the selected group to select the frame rate which the largest amount of the moving images has. The image editing apparatus converts moving image to be combined into the selected frame rate and then combines the plurality of converted moving images. | 08-25-2011 |
20110310259 | IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS, INFORMATION DISTRIBUTING APPARATUS, INFORMATION TRANSMISSION METHOD, INFORMATION DISTRIBUTION METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM STORING CONTROL PROGRAM THEREFOR - An image pickup apparatus capable of preventing a user who uses another device from knowing the current location of a photographer based on shooting information about an image when an external apparatus distributes the image to the other device. A calculation unit calculates a distance from the shooting location of the image file to the current location of the image pickup apparatus. A distance determination unit determines whether the calculated distance is larger than a predetermined lower limit. A transmission control unit controls to transmit the image file to the external apparatus when the distance determination unit determines that the distance is larger than the lower limit, and not to transmit the image file to the external apparatus when the distance determination unit determines that the distance is not larger than the lower limit. | 12-22-2011 |
20120274790 | IMAGE SHARING SYSTEM, IMAGE MANAGING SERVER, AND CONTROL METHOD AND PROGRAM THEREOF - An image processing apparatus determines categories for classifying image data based on shooting information of the image data, generates an update information file for each category, and uploads the update information file along with the image data to an image managing server. A client terminal registers, in advance, the address of a desired update information file, and periodically checks the update information file in the image managing server. If the update information file indicates that new image data has been added to the image managing server, the image data is downloaded in accordance with the file path described in the update information file. | 11-01-2012 |
20140055494 | IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICE CAPABLE OF DISPLAYING IMAGE IN A DESIRED ORIENTATION, METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - An image display device capable of saving time and effort required for viewing image data, to which image rotation information unintended by a user is added, in a desired orientation. An acceleration sensor detects an attitude of the image display device. A system controller controls the direction of display of an image based on the image rotation information and the detected attitude of the image display device. When the image display device is rotated from a state where the long side of the image displayed on a monitor and that of the monitor do not match each other, the system controller rotates the image such that the long sides of the image and the monitor match each other, and then, the system controller restricts rotation of the displayed image. | 02-27-2014 |
