Abstract: The image comparison portion calculates a plurality of pixel SSIM values of a first image and a second image and a representative SSIM value which is an overall SSIM value of both images. The image comparison portion identifies one or more count target SSIM values that belong to a specific range below a first threshold value among the plurality of pixel SSIM values when the representative SSIM value is equal to or greater than the first threshold value. The image comparison portion adds up a number of pixels for each level of the one or more count target SSIM values in both images with a weight according to each level of the one or more count target SSIM values to calculate a weighted sum. The image comparison portion determines that the two images do not match when the weighted sum exceeds a second threshold value.

Abstract: An image comparison apparatus includes an image comparison portion configured to compare a reference image with a target image. The image comparison portion calculates a degree of blur of each of the reference image and the target image. The image comparison apparatus reduces a difference in the degree of blur between the reference image and the target image to within a specific range by adding blur to one of the reference image and the target image that has a smaller degree of blur. The image comparison apparatus compares the reference image and the target image whose difference in the degree of blur has been reduced to within the specific range.
