An image processing method, an image processing apparatus, and a storage medium are disclosed which allow the same layout and editing process to be specified for different images in an easy fashion. An image processing method, an image processing apparatus, and a storage medium are also disclosed which allow a selection condition to be input in an easy fashion thereby selecting desired image information from plural pieces of image information. A layout name is assigned to a set of editing processes performed on an image or to an image selection condition and registered together. Information can be used again by specifying a particular layout name.

A method and apparatus for displaying images is provided. In particular, provided are a method and apparatus for displaying images using a duplex thumbnail mode in which images larger than thumbnail images are created when photographing images to display a larger image together with a corresponding activated thumbnail image whenever the thumbnail image is activated. The apparatus includes a signal processing unit that displays a first thumbnail image that is of the same size or larger than a second thumbnail image together with the second thumbnail image whenever the second thumbnail image is activated among displayed thumbnail images.

The endoscope system includes an image signal acquisition processing unit and an image generation unit that acquire a first still image and a video or a second still image before and after acquisition of the first still image based on an image signal obtained by imaging an observation target using an image sensor, an association unit that associates the first still image with the video or associates the first still image with the second still image, and a storage unit that stores the first still image and the video associated with each other or stores the first still image and the second still image associated with each other.

An image compression apparatus determines a first reduction ratio according to an available memory capacity and reduces a multivalued image by the determined first reduction ratio to generate a first reduced multivalued image, and extracts a representative color of a character region from the first reduced multivalued image. The image compression apparatus reduces the first reduced multivalued image to generate a second reduced multivalued image, and compresses the second reduced multivalued image to generate a first compressed code. The image compression apparatus compresses a partial binary image corresponding to the character region to generate a second compressed code. Then, the image compression apparatus outputs compressed data including the first compressed code, the second compressed code, positional information about the character region, and information about the representative color of the character region.

The invention embodiment discloses an automatic detection method and device of video rolling subtitles, and belongs to the image processing field; the method comprises the following steps: carrying out strong corner detection to a sensitive area in a video frame so as to obtain characteristic points of a curvature maximum value on an image edge of the video frame; carrying out optical flow tracking to each characteristic points so as to obtain a motion state of each characteristic points in a video stream; rejecting noise spots according to the motion state of each characteristic points, and roughly positioning the subtitle to an alternative position according to an area corresponding to the remaining characteristic points; verifying the alternative position according to a preset character image model, if continuous characters are spotted in the alternative position, then the video frame containing the rolling subtitle is marked. The method and device fully combines features of the rolling subtitle, model verification is carried out for the obtained alternative position, so the rolling subtitle in the video can be marked, thereby reducing the images in a non-subtitle motion area of the motion area in the video, greatly improving accuracy of the subtitle area, and furthermore, the subtitle in the video can be conveniently extracted.

An electronic apparatus and a control method thereof for controlling through motion input are provided. The method for controlling the electronic apparatus includes: in response to a predetermined mode trigger command being input, changing a mode of the electronic apparatus to a first motion task mode in which a motion task is performed using two pointers; in response to the mode being changed to the first motion task mode, displaying a UI to perform the first motion task mode on a display screen; and, in response to a user motion command using the two pointers being input, performing a motion task which corresponds to the user motion command, and displaying information on the performed motion task on the display screen.
