Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2006338620
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To provide an image retrieval device capable of easily retrieving desired image data from image data; and to provide its method and program.

An electronic camera attaches, to image data, collateral information thereof as header data of the respective image data. Upon reception of the image data from the electronic camera, a PC stores, for instance, a correspondence file between a file name of the image data and the collateral information in an HDD. Similarity Y of a picture of the image data is calculated based on pattern information NX and read pattern information MX; when the calculated similarity Y is larger than a threshold value being a reference value of the similarity of the picture, N-th image data are added to a group of M-th image data; and when the M-th image does not belong to other groups, a new group is created with the N-th image data and the M-th image data.
