A still image producing apparatus in which a user selects one piece of
information, and production of still images and music associated with the
mood in time of the production is provided. A still image producing
apparatus 100 comprises: an image feature extraction unit 102 which
analyzes image data, so as to extract feature; a music feature extraction
unit 106 which extracts a music feature quantity from music data; and a
mapping process unit 109 which uses each feature, so as to respectively
map image data and music data on each sensitivity map using two axes. The
user selects, from the sensitivity map, via a menu input unit 111, a
quadrant for music or images desired in a slide show. Thus, the slide
show associated with the mood is automatically produced in a slide show
generation unit 110.
