The invention performs automatic evaluation based on sensitivity of an
image that, in the related art, is performed by using the sensibility and
the manual work of a person. The invention provides an
image-for-evaluation input device to input an image for evaluation, an
induction-field-in-vision calculation device to calculate the induction
field in vision of the image input to the image-for-evaluation input
device, and an image-evaluation-based-on-sensitivity device to perform
evaluation based on sensitivity of the image based on a potential value
obtained by the induction-field-in-vision calculation device. The
image-evaluation-based-on-sensitivity device includes an
induction-field-energy calculation device, calculates an induction-field
energy based on the result obtained by the induction-field-in-vision
calculation device, and performs the evaluation based on sensitivity of
the image according to the magnitude of the energy.
