Abstract: A fingerprint image judgment apparatus is capable of judging whether or not fingerprint image data has been correctly read when a CPU having a small utilizable memory space is used. A first count unit counts the number of ridges or valleys in one direction of an X-axis direction or a Y-axis direction based on the pixel values stored in the first memory 141. A second count unit counts the number of ridges or valleys in the other direction of the X-axis direction or the Y-axis direction based on a judgment result h_flg [i] stored in a second memory 142 and the pixel values stored in the first memory 141. The judgment result h_flg [i] indicates whether or not the pixel values form ridges or valleys in the one direction. A correctibility judgment unit judges whether or not the fingerprint image data has been correctly read by the fingerprint sensor 15 based on the number of ridges or the valleys counted by the first and second count units.

Abstract: An ROI (region of interest) is drawn according to common and shape variables. The common variables are common to ROIs irrespectively of the shape thereof. Expressions defining relations between the common and shape variables are determined and stored for each ROI in advance. When an instruction is issued to replace a first ROI with a second ROI having a different shape, shape variables for the second ROI are calculated from the common variables of the first ROI according to the expressions, and the second ROI defined by the calculated shape variables is displayed.

Abstract: An ultrasonic diagnostic system incorporates therein a technique of extracting an outline of the tissue within the subject. The ultrasonic diagnostic system is functionally capable of objectively extracting the outline of the tissue without a manual work, or with only a simple manual work. A gradient on each point of a tomographic image is evaluated, a scalar quantity representative of the magnitude of the gradient is evaluated, a maximal point of the scalar quantity is evaluated, and the outline of the tissue is extracted on the basis of the maximal point thus evaluated. When the outline is extracted, an arithmetic effective domain is determined beforehand so that the outline is extracted only within the determined arithmetic effective domain. Further, a movement of the subject, which extends through a plurality of frames, is detected to vary the outline on the basis of the movement detected.

Abstract: There is provided an ultrasonic diagnostic system wherein received signals are generated in such a manner that ultrasonic pulse beams are transmitted within a subject and reflecting ultrasonic waves from an inside of the subject are received, and a tomographic image is obtained on the basis of the received signals. The ultrasonic diagnostic system is capable of detecting a velocity or a velocity gradient as to the tissue within the subject. Two digital complex signals [R.sub.i (t)+j I.sub.i (t)] and [R.sub.i (t+.DELTA..tau.)+j I.sub.i (t+.DELTA..tau.)], which are apart from each other by .DELTA..tau., are obtained from a complex signal (quadrature detection signal) [h.sub.ci (t)+j h.sub.si (t)] outputted from a complex signal conversion circuit. A phase difference .DELTA..theta..sub.i,i+1 (t) is determined from a complex correlation value C.sub.i,i (t,.DELTA..tau.) of these two complex signals. Further, the phase difference .DELTA..theta..sub.i,i+1 (t) is determined from a complex correlation value C.sub.
