The collage is an artistic method to create a new image by combining multiple images under some rules or conditions for collage creators. To realize a mechanism to interpret “Kansei” of the collage creator by the combination process of multiple image-materials and a formed collage image, we propose a new system to analyze the collage work by using a database stored to each collage creation information. The collage works which a creator made by using this system was evaluated. And also, we clarified how to combine image-materials to make the good collage image having specific impression.
