Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus comprising: a characteristic amount extraction unit configured to extract a characteristic amount of an image; a generation unit configured to generate a plurality of different values for one parameter of a processing applied on the image; a presentation unit configured to present a plurality of processing images obtained by performing a processing on the image with the plurality of different values for the parameter; a selection unit configured to select an optimal one of the plurality of presented processing images, wherein a final value for the parameter is decided by repeatedly performing such a procedure that the generation unit further generates a plurality of different values for the parameter on the basis of a value for the parameter corresponding to the processing image selected by the selection unit, the repeatedly performing using a minimum and a maximum value of a repeated N-th time, the presentation unit presents a plurality of processing images obtained by performing a processing on the image with the plurality of generated different values for the parameter, and the selection unit selects an optimal one of the plurality of presented processing images; and a storage unit configured to store the decided final value for the parameter as setting information while associating the setting information with the characteristic amount of the image.
