ABSTRACT:
An image feature analyzing section performs an image feature analysis with respect to an input image to output an image feature vector. A parameter output section stores a plurality of image feature vectors and a plurality of parameters corresponding to the respective image feature vectors and outputs an original parameter value corresponding to an image feature vector. A parameter operation setting section determines contents of an operation of an illumination equation parameter, depending on a prescribed image conversion. A parameter operating section operates the original parameter value in accordance with a prescription of the parameter operation setting section, to obtain a new parameter value. An image generating section generates an output image based on the new parameter value.
