Summary: | PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an imaging device and a control method therefor capable of easily retrieving and enjoying a photographic image even when it is imaged by a foreign user.SOLUTION: An imaging device includes: an imaging unit 2 for performing photoelectric conversion of an optical image and outputting image data; a feature quantity digitization unit 5a for using the image data to digitize the feature quantity of the image and calculating feature information; a recording unit 3 for recording the feature information by associating it with the image data; and a liquid crystal display unit 8 for displaying the image based on the image data together with a similar image retrieved by using the feature information. When instructions for an imaging operation are provided by an operation unit 9, the image data outputted from the imaging unit 2 and the feature information calculated by the feature quantity digitization unit 5a are associated with the image data and recorded in the recording unit 3.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
【課題】外国のユーザーが撮影した写真画像であっても容易に検索し、楽しむことのできる撮像装置および撮像装置の制御方法を提供する。【解決手段】光学像を光電変換し、画像データを出力する撮影部2と、画像データを用いて、画像の特徴量を数値化して特徴情報を算出する特徴量数値化部5aと、画像データに関連付けて特徴情報を記録する記録部3と、画像データに基づく画像と、特徴情報を用いて、検索された類似画像を合せて表示する液晶表示部8を有し、操作部9によって撮影動作の指示がなされた際に、撮影部2から出力された画像データと、特徴量数値化部5aによって算出された特徴情報を画像データに関連付けて、記録部3に記録する。【選択図】 図1 |
