IMAGE ATTRIBUTE DISCRIMINATION APPARATUS, ATTRIBUTE DISCRIMINATION SUPPORT APPARATUS, IMAGE ATTRIBUTE DISCRIMINATION METHOD, ATTRIBUTE DISCRIMINATION SUPPORT APPARATUS CONTROLLING METHOD, AND CONTROL PROGRAM
First Claim
1. An image attribute discrimination apparatus that discriminates an attribute of image data based on a content produced by the image data, the image attribute discrimination apparatus comprising:
- a heterogeneous region specifying unit for specifying a heterogeneous region from the image data, wherein the heterogeneous region comprises a heterogeneous matter whose attribute is different from that of the content originally produced by the image data; and
an attribute discrimination unit for discriminating the attribute of the image data based on a feature quantity extracted from a pixel group except each pixel in the heterogeneous region in each pixel of the image data.

Abstract
An attribute of image data can accurately be discriminated. An image attribute discrimination apparatus includes a heterogeneous region extracting unit that specifies a heterogeneous region from image data. The heterogeneous region includes a heterogeneous matter whose attribute is different from that of a content originally produced by the image data. An image attribute discrimination apparatus further includes a scene discrimination unit that discriminates the attribute of the image data based on a feature quantity extracted from a pixel group except each pixel in the heterogeneous region in each pixel of the image data.
