Image processing apparatus, painterly conversion method and painterly conversion program

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image processing system which can reduce time required for image processing in painterly conversion of continuous shot images and moving image component images.SOLUTION: An image processing system includes: synthesis image group storing means storing data on a synthesis image group used for synthesis; image extracting means extracting an image at the start of operation of a subject, an image during the operation and the image at the termination of the operation from the synthesis image group; extracted image synthesis means synthesizing the extracted image; display control means displaying display means and a synthesized and extracted image; rectangular region input means used for selecting a prescribed rectangular region in the synthesized and extracted image; rectangular region adjusting means adjusting the rectangular region selected by a user to a rectangular region suited for the size of printing paper; rectangular region synthesis means synthesizing an inner part of the rectangular region adjusted by the rectangular region adjusting means; painterly conversion means converting the image into a painterly image; and printing means printing the painterly image on the printing paper.
