Apparatus, method and program for designating an object image to be registered
First Claim
1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a designation unit adapted to designate an object image to be registered;
a first detection unit adapted to detect a first subject from the designated object image;
a first extraction unit adapted to extract a first feature amount for identifying an attribute of the first subject;
a second extraction unit adapted to extract a second feature amount for detecting the second subject;
a first storage unit adapted to store the first feature amount; and
a second storage unit adapted to store the second feature amount,wherein when said first detection unit detects the first subject, said first extraction unit extracts the first feature amount from the object image and said first storage unit stores the extracted first feature amount,wherein when said first detection unit cannot detect the first subject, said second extraction unit extracts the second feature amount from the object image and said second storage unit stores the extracted second feature amount,wherein the image processing apparatus further comprises a first identification unit adapted to identify an attribute of an object in an input image detected by said first detection unit based on the first feature amount stored in said first storage unit, andwherein when said first identification unit identifies that the attribute of the object image designed by said designation unit does not match the first feature amount stored in said first storage unit, said first storage unit stores the feature amount which is extracted from the object image as a new first feature amount of a different first subject.

Abstract
An image processing apparatus comprising: a first detection unit adapted to detect a first subject from an object image; a first extraction unit adapted to extract a first feature amount for identifying an attribute of the first subject; a second extraction unit adapted to extract a second feature amount for detecting the second subject; a first storage unit adapted to store the first feature amount; and a second storage unit adapted to store the second feature amount, wherein when the first detection unit detects the first subject, the first extraction unit extracts the first feature amount and the first storage unit stores the amount, and when the first detection unit cannot detect the first subject, the second extraction unit extracts the second feature amount and the second storage unit stores the amount.

7. An image processing method comprising:
-
a designation step of designating an object image to be registered; a first detection step of detecting a first subject from the designated object image; a first extraction step of extracting a first feature amount for identifying an attribute of the first subject from the object image, when the first subject is detected in said first detection step; a second extraction step of extracting a second feature amount for detecting the second subject from the object image, when the first subject cannot be detected in said first detection step; a first storage step of storing the first feature amount in a first storage unit, when the first feature amount is extracted in said first extraction step; and a second storage step of storing the second feature amount in a second storage unit, when the second feature amount is extracted in said second extraction step, wherein the image processing method further comprises a first identification step of identifying an attribute of an object in an input image detected by said first detection step based on the first feature amount stored in the first storage unit, and wherein when said first identification step identifies that the attribute of the object image designed by said designation step does not match the first feature amount stored in the first storage unit, said first storage step stores the feature amount which is extracted from the object image as a new first feature amount of a different first subject. - View Dependent Claims (8)
