<p>An image processing apparatus judges the degree of similarity between entered image data and characterizing data of a special image (an image containing a special original such as a bank note or negotiable instrument) prepared in advance, generates data indicative of the degree of similarity and integrates similarity data in two-dimensional space while subjecting the entered image data to image processing conforming to the results of integration. For example, image data of an area for which the degree of similarity resulting from integration indicates a certain value is forcibly converted into data having maximum density. <IMAGE></p> |
