ABSTRACT:
An image signal, which represents an image capable of taking either a symmetric orientation or an asymmetric orientation with respect to a center line of the image serving as the axis of symmetry, is obtained. The image signal is made up of a series of image signal components representing picture elements in the image. A predetermined operation is then carried out to find the difference between values of image signal components representing at least a single pair of picture elements, which correspond symmetrically to each other with respect to the center line of the image, and to calculate a characteristic value, which represents symmetry or asymmetry of the image, from the value of the difference. A judgment is then made from the level of the characteristic value as to whether the image is a symmetric image or is an asymmetric image.
