Abstract

PURPOSE:To realize a very natural retrieval such as a picture is retrieved by a picture, by using a plurality of synthesized pictures made by shrinking original pictures for retrieval. CONSTITUTION:A picture inputted from a picture input device 11 is stored in a picture memory 12 and displayed on a monitor 15. In inputting an instruction registrating this picture to a file from an operating console 17, a CPU19 writes a picture data in the memory 12 to a magnetic disc device. The picture data in the memory 2 is shrinked with a shrinking device 16a and written in a device 14. The correspondence between the registrated picture and the shrinked picture is 1:1, and the addresses of the both on a disc are written in the address area on the disc. In inputting an instruction of shrinked index from the console 17, the CPU19 reads out the shrinked picture in the order of addresses written in the address area on the disc from the device 14, a plurality of shrinked pictures are synthesized at a synthesizer 16b, the shrinked picture index is written in the memory 12 and displayed on the monitor 15.

In recent years, lI! II iron file type devices are attracting attention, and some with quite large sts are also appearing. However, when searching for a desired image from among a large number of uniformly stored images, when searching for images that have been stored in large quantities, it is necessary to look at the image when retrieving an image that has been searched for 1M. 7)) It is very inconvenient as you have to know the details. There is also a method of registering and searching by keyword, but
There are inconveniences such as the complexity of setting up and the inconvenience of being unable to access unless you memorize the keyword.

The most natural way to search for image files is to actually look at the image and determine whether the image is what you want. In this case, if a magnetic disk device or the like is used as the storage device for the 1-elephant file search device, it will take several seconds to access each artist, so it will take a considerable amount of time to obtain the image of the 15r mouse. The purpose of the present invention is to eliminate the shortcomings of the conventional image file search device and automatically create a table of contents consisting of pongee small images so that registration and search can be performed in an efficient and natural format. According to the present invention, it is an object of the present invention to provide an image file retrieval device having the ability to search image 1#! An image file characterized in that, at the time of registration, an image obtained by reducing one M'tl registered image by 1 PI 14 is stored in a storage device in addition to the registered image, and at the time of retrieval, a series of autopsy small images are synthesized. A search device is obtained.

When examining an image, it is not necessary to be able to thoroughly examine the details of each image, so a composite image of multiple images made by reducing the original image by %ilj is used as an image for examination. By doing this, a very natural image search can be realized. Also, by creating small images for search at the time of registration, you can create a table of contents for 4 nights small images. With four lucks, Sukota Sukori becomes a performer, and the desired image can be obtained in a short time.

FIG. 1 shows an example of an ll1If intermittent file retrieval device according to the invention. Images input from the image input device 11 are stored in the image memory 12 and displayed on the monitor 15. When a command for registering the image displayed on the current monitor 15 in a file is entered from operation J@[17, the command processing unit 18 receives the command, and the central processing unit 19 interprets the meaning of the command. When the central processing bag [19] learns that the registration command has been input, it transfers the image data in the image memory 12 via the magnetic disk interface 13 to the magnetic disk drive r1t14.
praise. Further, the image data in the image memory 12 is reduced in size by the reduction device 16a, and the reduced image data is also written to the magnetic disk device 14. Here, if you keep it, it will be 1/4x by using 4 points 0R4-
Reduce the size to 1/4. An explanatory diagram of this #d small is shown in FIG. This n creates one pixel from 166 pixels, that is, pixels a, b, c, and d.
