In this paper, we propose a tool for extracting composition information fi-om pictures called the Composition Analyzer.This tool extracts such composition information as the shapes, proportions, andlocations of figures, by two processes.More specifically, it first segments a picture into figures and a ground by a figure extraction method we developed.It then extracts the above composition information tirn ihe fiiures based on the Dynamic Symmetry principle.The extracted composition information is used to refine the picture, and as such, facilitates the production of multimedia for nonprofessionals.
