PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To generate a result where the similar property of two images coincides with the analysis of the similar property by manual by expressing the image through the use of its sensitive manifest feature. SOLUTION: In an image archive phase, a feature f in terms of a description is selected first (S10) and one of a color or texture is selected. Then the image is analyzed and the sensitive manifest component is identified by the feature f (S20). The feature in terms of the description concerning the image is regarded as the one which sensitively and clearly exists when it dominates the sense of the image by an observer and, then, expressed by the detected sensitive manifest component of the selected feature (S30). The input image and its expression are added to an image database after that (S40). Thus, a search index is updated and the image expression is participated in image selection and/or retrieval based on the future feature in terms of the description. |
