Abstract

Provided is an image processing device including at least one processor, in which the processor acquires a first performance evaluation value related to performance of a first imaging apparatus of a first user who is one of a plurality of users, acquires a second performance evaluation value related to performance of a second imaging apparatus of a second user different from the first user among the plurality of users, specifies an image of the second user corresponding to the second imaging apparatus having the second performance evaluation value, which is equal to or larger than the first performance evaluation value, from shared images which are limitedly shared by the plurality of users, and sets a presentation priority of a specific image, which is the specified image, to the first user to be higher than presentation priorities of other shared images.

Claims (67)

sets a presentation priority of a specific image, which is the specified image, to the first user to be higher than presentation priorities of other shared images.

2 . The image processing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the shared images are rearranged in accordance with the presentation priorities and presented.

3 . The image processing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the at least one processor classifies the shared images into a plurality of attribute groups based on attribute information of each of a plurality of the shared images, and

the shared images are presented for each attribute group.

4 . The image processing device according to claim 3 ,

wherein the attribute information is at least any of a subject of the shared image or imaging date and time of the shared image.

5 . The image processing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the at least one processor presents an imaging condition of the second imaging apparatus associated with the specific image.

6 . The image processing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the at least one processor

derives the first performance evaluation value based on first apparatus information related to the first imaging apparatus, and

derives the second performance evaluation value based on second apparatus information related to the second imaging apparatus.

7 . The image processing device according to claim 6 ,

wherein the at least one processor presents the second apparatus information associated with the specific image.

8 . The image processing device according to claim 6 ,

wherein the at least one processor sets the presentation priority of the specific image associated with the second user corresponding to the second imaging apparatus having the second apparatus information, which matches or is similar to the first apparatus information, to be higher than the presentation priorities of other specific images.

9 . The image processing device according to claim 6 ,

wherein the first apparatus information and the second apparatus information include a plurality of evaluation items representing the performance of the first imaging apparatus and the performance of the second imaging apparatus, and

the at least one processor evaluates the performance of the first imaging apparatus and the performance of the second imaging apparatus for each of the plurality of evaluation items to derive the first performance evaluation value and the second performance evaluation value obtained by integrating the plurality of evaluation items.

10 . The image processing device according to claim 9 ,

wherein the at least one processor changes at least any of the evaluation item or an evaluation standard for the evaluation item in accordance with a scene corresponding to the shared image to derive the first performance evaluation value and the second performance evaluation value.

11 . The image processing device according to claim 6 ,

wherein the first apparatus information includes first body information related to a body of the first imaging apparatus and first lens information related to a lens built in or mounted on the body of the first imaging apparatus, and

the second apparatus information includes second body information related to a body of the second imaging apparatus and second lens information related to a lens built in or mounted on the body of the second imaging apparatus.

12 . The image processing device according to claim 6 ,

wherein the at least one processor

derives the first performance evaluation value based only on the first apparatus information of the first imaging apparatus associated with the shared image, and

derives the second performance evaluation value based only on the second apparatus information of the second imaging apparatus associated with the shared image.

13 . The image processing device according to claim 6 ,

wherein the at least one processor

derives the first performance evaluation value based on the first apparatus information of the first imaging apparatus associated with a first user image associated with the first user, which is the first user image other than the shared image, in addition to the first apparatus information of the first imaging apparatus associated with the shared image, and

derives the second performance evaluation value based on the second apparatus information of the second imaging apparatus associated with a second user image associated with the second user, which is the second user image other than the shared image, in addition to the second apparatus information of the second imaging apparatus associated with the shared image.

14 . The image processing device according to claim 13 ,

wherein the at least one processor

selects a first type of a first imaging apparatus that satisfies a predetermined first selection condition from among a plurality of types of the first imaging apparatuses, and

derives the first performance evaluation value based on first apparatus information of the first type of the first imaging apparatus.

15 . The image processing device according to claim 14 ,
