Abstract:
1. An image display control apparatus including: a first region obtaining unit adapted to obtain a part of a region of an image as a region of a first kind; a second region obtaining unit adapted to obtain a part of a region of the image as a region of a second kind from the same image as the image from which the region of the first kind is obtained, the region of the second kind differs from the region of the first kind; a determination unit adapted to determine a degree of overlapping between the region of the first kind and the region of the second kind which are obtained from the same image; a selection unit adapted not to treat the region of the first kind and the region of the second kind as separately selected objects and to select only one of the regions, or both the regions at the same time, or a region including both the regions, when the determination unit determines that the degree of overlapping between the region of the first kind and the region of the second kind is greater than a defined value, and adapted to treat the region of the first kind and the region of the second kind as separately selected objects and to select each of the regions separately when the determination unit determines that the degree of overlapping between the region of the first kind and the region of the second kind is less than the defined value; and a display control unit adapted to perform control to display the image while reflecting a selection result by the selection unit.
