Abstract
A plurality of image data are stored in a hard disk device in correspondence with their image feature amounts. An image is using an input window. A CPU computes the image feature amount of the input image. The CPU computes image similarity on the basis of the computed image feature amount and the image feature amounts of the stored image data.
