Image processing apparatus and image processing method to store image data for subsequent retrieval

TLDR
In this article, image data similar to image data input as a query are retrieved from an already registered image data group, and image quality of one of the retrieved image data is lower than that of the input image data.
Abstract
From an already registered image data group, image data similar to image data input as a query are retrieved (S 3190 ). When image quality of one of the retrieved image data is lower than that of the input image data, the input image data is registered in place of the one image data (S 3163 ).

Image processing method and image processing system

TL;DR: In this paper, an image processing method which allows easy re-use of image information that is stored to minimize deterioration of image quality and the storage capacity is presented. But the method requires the original digital data corresponding to each input image to be found in the search step, and if no original data is found, the input image is converted into vector data, and is stored as digital data in the storage means.
