Image processing unit
View Patent ↗An image processor that can get a number of image files resized collectively is provided in order to realize a more user-friendly resizing function. The image processor includes: a control section configured to select a particular set of resizing conditions from a plurality of sets of resizing conditions in accordance with a user's instruction; and an image processing section configured to perform resizing processing on each of a plurality of images in accordance with the selected particular set of resizing conditions. Each set of resizing conditions specifies a plurality of estimated resized image sizes. Each estimated resized image size is associated with a respective image aspect ratio. For said each of the plurality of images to be resized, the image processing section selects an estimated resized image size from the selected particular set of resizing conditions according to the aspect ratio of said each of the plurality of images and performs the resizing processing on said each of the plurality of images in accordance with the selected estimated resized image size.
1. An image processor comprising: a control section configured to select a particular set of resizing conditions from a plurality of sets of resizing conditions in accordance with a user's instruction; and an image processing section configured to perform resizing processing on each of a plurality of images in accordance with the selected particular set of resizing conditions, wherein each set of resizing conditions specifies a plurality of estimated resized image sizes, each estimated resized image size being associated with a respective image aspect ratio, wherein for said each of the plurality of images to be resized, the image processing section selects an estimated resized image size from the selected particular set of resizing conditions according to the aspect ratio of said each of the plurality of images and performs the resizing processing on said each of the plurality of images in accordance with the selected estimated resized image size, and wherein the plurality of estimated resized image sizes specified by the particular set of the resizing conditions fall within a first range of image sizes, and a plurality of estimated resized image sizes specified by another set of the resizing conditions fall within a second range of image sizes which is different from the first range.
2. The image processor of claim 1 , wherein the image data of said each of the plurality of images to be resized includes aspect ratio information that tells the aspect ratio of that image, and
wherein by reference to the aspect ratio information, the image processing section finds the aspect ratio of said each of the plurality images and selects an estimated resized image size from the selected particular set of resizing conditions.
3. The image processor of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of sets of resizing conditions define mutually different combinations of estimated resized image sizes for a plurality of image aspect ratios.
4. The image processor of claim 1 , further comprising:
a display device for presenting an image thereon; and
an interface that allows the user to choose the image presented on the display device,
wherein the image processing section designates the image that has been chosen with the interface as the image to be resized.
5. The image processor of claim 1 , wherein image data of each of a plurality of images to be resized includes thumbnail data, and wherein the image processor further includes:
a display device for presenting a thumbnail thereon; and
an interface that allows the user to choose the thumbnail presented on the display device, and
wherein the image processing section designates the image associated with the thumbnail that has been chosen with the interface as the image to be resized.
6. The image processor of claim 1 , further comprising:
an interface that accepts a user's command; and
a storage section that stores the image data of the plurality of images in at least one folder,
wherein the image processing section performs the resizing processing on an image, of which the image data is stored in a folder that has been specified beforehand in accordance with the command accepted at the interface.
7. The image processor of claim 1 , further comprising:
an interface that accepts a user's command; and
a storage section that stores the image data of the plurality of images,
wherein the image data of each of the plurality of images includes shooting condition information representing a condition on which that image was shot, and
wherein the image processing section performs the resizing processing on an image, of which the image data matches shooting condition information that has been specified beforehand in accordance with the command accepted at the interface.
8. The image processor of claim 1 , further comprising an interface that accepts a user's command,
wherein the image processing section performs the resizing processing on an image, of which the image data matches a shooting period that has been specified beforehand in accordance with the command accepted at the interface.
9. The image processor of claim 6 , wherein the storage section includes a removable storage medium.
10. The image processor of claim 7 , wherein the storage section includes a removable storage medium.
