ABSTRACT:
An image classification apparatus includes an image input device for inputting image data. A filing device stores the input image data and performs a read, retrieval, or edit operation on the data in accordance with a predetermined instruction. A normalizing unit corrects variations in various image input conditions or variations in image input devices to make the input conditions in execution agree with those in learning. A feature extracting unit extracts a feature amount effective for classification. A classification determination unit performs a classification determination operation on the basis of the feature amount obtained by the feature extracting unit. A display unit synthesizes a result of the classification determination operation with the input image, and displays the synthesized result. A learning control unit controls the feature extracting unit and the classification determination unit on the basis of the predetermined learning data. Accordingly, the classification apparatus classifies a portion of the input image which is difficult to extract by binarization or three-dimensional display alone, and displays the classified portion in an easily recognizable visual form.
