Abstract
An apparatus and method for processing image data generates image data from a scan of an original image, and creates segmentation data from the generated image data. The segmentation data includes information regarding image types present in the image data corresponding to the scanned original image. Each of the image data and the segmentation data is stored in a storage medium along with a link between the image data and the segmentation data.
