Abstract

Provided are an image processing apparatus, an image processing method, a program, and a recording medium capable of outputting an image in which a text related to an input image is appropriately disposed in consideration of a subject in the input image.
An image processing apparatus according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a processor, in which the processor is configured to execute processing of acquiring a text related to the input image, processing of specifying a first subject corresponding to the text from a subject included in the input image, and processing of deciding a disposition of the text in an output image based on the input image according to the input image and the first subject.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An image processing apparatus that processes an input image, the image processing apparatus comprising:
a processor, wherein the processor is configured to execute: processing of acquiring a text related to the input image; processing of specifying a first subject corresponding to the text from a subject included in the input image; and processing of deciding a disposition of the text in an output image based on the input image according to the input image and the first subject.

2 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the processor is configured to acquire the text based on an input operation of a user.

3 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the processor is configured to generate the text based on a region selected by a user in the input image.

4 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the processor is configured to generate the text based on an analysis result of the input image.

5 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the processor is configured to generate the text based on accessory information of the input image.

6 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the processor is configured to decide the disposition in which the text does not overlap the first subject.

7 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the processor is configured to decide the disposition in which the text does not overlap a specific portion of the first subject.

8 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein, in a case where the output image including the input image and the text is output, the processor is configured to decide the disposition in which the text does not overlap the first subject and a second subject different from the first subject in the input image, in a periphery of the first subject.

9 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein, in a case where a plurality of texts are acquired as the text, the processor is configured to decide the disposition of the plurality of texts in which the texts do not overlap each other in a periphery of the first subject.

10 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein, in a case where the output image including the input image having an image region and a margin region and the text is output, the processor is configured to decide the disposition in at least one of the image region or the margin region of the input image included in the output image.

11 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein, in a case where the output image including the input image and the text is output, the processor is configured to generate a margin region in at least a part of a periphery of the input image in the output image, and decide the disposition of the input image and the text in the output image.

12 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the processor is configured to: acquire evaluation values related to the dispositions for a plurality of regions in the input image based on the input image; and decide the dispositions based on the evaluation values of the plurality of regions.

13 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the processor is configured to acquire a plurality of texts as the text, and decide the disposition for the plurality of texts.

14 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the processor is configured to divide the text into a plurality of texts, and decide the disposition for the plurality of texts.

15 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the processor is configured to: acquire a plurality of input images as the input image; and generate the text related to at least one of the plurality of input images based on analysis results of the plurality of input images.

16 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein, in a case where the output image including the input image having an image region and a margin region and the text is output, the processor is configured to: determine whether or not the disposition is capable of being decided in the margin region in the input image based on the text; change a layout of the image region in the input image in a case where the disposition is determined to be incapable of being decided in the margin region in the input image; and decide the disposition in the margin region in the output image including the input image whose layout is changed.

17 . An image processing method of processing an input image by a processor, the image processing method comprising: by the processor,
a step of acquiring a text related to the input image; a step of specifying a first subject corresponding to the text from a subject included in the input image; and a step of deciding a disposition of the text in an output image based on the input image according to the input image and the first subject.

18 . The image processing method according to claim 17 ,
wherein, in the step of acquiring the text, the text is generated based on an analysis result of the input image, by the processor.

19 . The image processing method according to claim 18 , further comprising:
a step of assigning evaluation values related to the dispositions to a plurality of regions in the input image by the processor, wherein, in the step of deciding the disposition, the disposition is decided based on the evaluation values of the plurality of regions by the processor.

20 . A computer-readable recording medium on which a program for causing a computer to execute each of the steps included in the image processing method according to claim 17 is recorded.
