Image processing apparatus, image forming apparatus, image processing system, computer program and recording medium
First Claim
1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
- an output processing section for executing an output process based on an image data obtained by reading a document image;
a storage section in which the description of the output process to be executed by the output processing section is stored in relation with a stored image; and
a controller capable of performing operations of;
determining whether or not the document image is similar to the preliminary stored image based on the obtained image data;
when determining that the image is similar to the stored image, reading out the description of the output process stored in relation with the stored image from said storage section; and
controlling the output process to be executed by said output processing section in accordance with the read out description of the output process.

Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes a feature point calculating section for extracting two or more connected components from a document image of interest and calculating the feature point from the centroid defined in each of the connected components, a features calculating section for calculating the features of the document image from the distance between the feature points, a voting processing section for voting one of the registered images which is similar to the document image as reviewing the features, and a similarity judging process section for judging the similarity from the result of the voting, wherein the description of the processing to be executed for the output is determined from the result of the similarity judgment.
