Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes a temporary memory for two-dimensionally mapping and temporarily storing image data containing image region data corresponding to two image regions having a similar shape and stored in an image data memory, a CRT for reproducing images based on the image data stored in the temporary memory, an interest region defining section for defining a region of interest in one of the two image regions having a similar shape displayed on the CRT, a pixel specifying section for specifying a first reference pixel in the one of the two image regions having a similar shape and specifying a second pixel corresponding to the first reference pixel in one image region other than the one of two image regions, a copy section for copying the region of interest defined by the interest region defining section and the first reference pixel specified by the pixel specifying section, a template matching section for effecting template matching between minute region image data corresponding to a minute region containing the coordinate value of the first reference pixel as a center coordinate value and minute region image data corresponding to a minute region containing the…
