1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
- an extracting unit that extracts pixel blocks from image data;
a representative-image generating unit i) that aligns each center of gravity of each extracted pixel block, (ii) that calculates a binary value for each extracted pixel block whose center of gravity is aligned to set a similarity between the extracted pixel blocks, and (iii) that generates representative images from the extracted pixel blocks based on the similarity; and
a vector converting unit that converts the representative images generated by the representative-image generating unit into vector information.

Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes an extracting unit, a representative-image generating unit and a vector converting unit. The extracting unit extracts pixel blocks from image data. The representative-image generating unit generates representative images from the pixel blocks extracted by the extracting unit, based on a similarity between the pixel blocks. The vector converting unit converts the representative images generated by the representative-image generating unit into vector information.
