Abstract
An image evaluating apparatus capable of evaluating photographic images with expressions that approach human perception is provided. Boundaries among subjects are extracted from a digital photographic image in which a plurality of subjects are pictured. Image regions, which are divided by the boundaries, are extracted from the image. The position of each region is judged by determining which of a plurality of sections each image region is included in. The features of subjects pictured within each image region are judged. Then, the digital photographic image is evaluated based on the extracted boundaries, the sections in which each image region is included, and the features of the subjects pictured within each image region.
