ABSTRACT:
An image processing apparatus obtains a sum A of image data values of pixels in a template image, a sum B of squares of image data values of pixels in a template image, a sum C of image data values of pixels in a sub-image to be processed, of a search image, a sum D of squares of image data values of pixels in the sub-image of the template image, further obtains a threshold value F in advance by using the obtained values A, B, C and D, the number P of pixels in the template image, and the preset value E. Moreover, the apparatus obtains a square of each difference between an image data value of each pixel in the sub-image and that of a corresponding pixel in the template image, and performs cumulative addition for each obtained squares. If the result of cumulative addition exceeds the above-mentioned threshold value, the apparatus closes processing evaluation of a similarity between the sub-image and the template image. Furthermore, the apparatus recursively obtains a moving-average value of image data values of pixels in a rectangular region to be presently processed, by using a moving-average value for a rectangular region which was previously processed and image data read from a first memory and a second memory, each memory stores image data by one line pixels of the image, which include image data of pertinent pixels in the rectangular regions.
