ABSTRACT:
In the present invention, an image evaluation method includes: (a) a step of acquiring image information to be evaluated; (b) a step of setting an evaluation area for the acquired image information, the evaluation area being smaller than an area corresponding to the image information; (c) a step of obtaining an individual evaluation on the acquired image information; (d) a step of obtaining another individual evaluation on the acquired image information; and (e) a step of obtaining a comprehensive evaluation based on the individual evaluation and the other individual evaluation. Herein, the individual evaluation is obtained by individually evaluating a predetermined item in the set evaluation area. The other individual evaluation is obtained by individually evaluating another predetermined item.
