First Claim
Patent Images
1. A similar image search system comprising:
- an image database which stores a number of pieces of image data representing a number of images,an image input means for inputting search image data representing a whole and/or a part of an image similar to which in feature is to be searched for,a searching means which searches the database for similitude image data representing an image which is similar to an image represented by the input search image data in feature,wherein the similitude level for the search is 20%,a search report output means which outputs a search report representing result of search by the searching means, anda diagnostic database which stores pieces of diagnostic data related to the pieces of image data stored in the image database so that the searching means searches the diagnostic database for diagnostic data related to the extracted similitude image data and the search report output means outputs the extracted image data together with the diagnostic data related to the extracted similitude image data,wherein the diagnostic data related to the extracted similitude image data includes a name of disease.

31. A similar image search system comprising:
-
an image database which stores a number of pieces of image data representing a number of images, an image input means for inputting search image data representing a whole and/or a part of an image similar to which in feature is to be searched for, a searching means which searches the database for similitude image data representing an image which is similar to an image represented by the input search image data in feature, and a search report output means which outputs a search report representing result of search by the searching means, wherein the similitude image data representing the image is similar to the image represented by the input search image data in feature when a similarity between the similitude image data representing the image and the image represented by the input search image data is higher than a predetermined reference level, and wherein the predetermined reference level is 20%.
