ABSTRACT:
An image analyzing and expression adding apparatus for presenting an operator with image impressions displayed in terms of sensitive language and for allowing the operator to use stored design know-how in adding expressions to the image on display. An image segmenting unit segments an input image into a plurality of areas. An image feature storing unit stores the physical feature quantities of each of the segmented areas. The physical feature quantities are processed by an image analyzing unit preparing visual feature quantities about the entire image. A sensitive influence quantity computing unit receives the visual feature quantities thus prepared and, based on information from a design know-how storing unit, computes factors of the terms representing sensitivity. The operator is presented with the factors of the sensitivity-expressing terms. In response, the operator instructs desired expressions using the sensitivity-expressing terms through an expression instructing unit. An image expression adding unit receives the instructions about the expressions and modifies the image by referring to the information from the design know-how storing unit. The physical feature quantities of the segmented areas are also modified immediately, so that the impressions of the modified image are analyzed and displayed.
