ABSTRACT:
An image displaying apparatus is provided that is capable of quickly retrieving an image that a user wants to access from a number of images. An image feature quantity calculating section calculates image feature quantities of a plurality of types for each of the images acquired by an image acquiring section. A first image position coordinate calculating section calculates the position coordinate of each of the images in a first space that has coordinate axes corresponding to each of the image feature quantities based on the values of each of the feature quantities. A similarity matrix calculating section and an eigenvalues/eigenvectors calculating section calculate one or a plurality of feature directions in the first space based on the calculated position coordinates. A second image position coordinate calculating section calculates the position coordinate of each of the images in a second space that has coordinate axes corresponding to each of the feature directions. A space image displaying section displays an image showing the whole or a part of the second space that has indications corresponding to each of the images at each of the position coordinates.
