  • Patent number: 9477902
    Abstract: A game apparatus includes a CPU, and in a mode of examining a flower based on an imaged image, the CPU activates two outward cameras to allow a user to image a flower. The CPU obtains color information, shape information and a size of the imaged flower from the imaged image. A shape category is obtained from the shape information, and with the shape category, data for search included in a database for search is filtered. Then, by comparing color information, shape information, and the size of the imaged flower with the data for search to be used, a score of a degree of approximation of the color information and scores of the degree of matching of the shape information and size, etc. are obtained. Then, images of flowers as candidates are presented in the descending order of the score (similarity level).

  • Patent number: 8687012
    Abstract: An example of a game apparatus includes a CPU, and in a mode of examining a flower based on an imaged image, the CPU activates two outward cameras to thereby display an imaging screen on a stereoscopic LCD and a lower LCD. In the center of an upper screen displayed on the stereoscopic LCD, a designation image for adjusting a position and a size of an object to be imaged is displayed. Also, on the upper screen, a through image imaged by the outward camera is displayed, and the designation image is displayed in front of the through image. At this time, the designation image is displayed in a complementary color of a color of the through image.

  • Patent number: 8600971
    Abstract: An example of a game apparatus includes a CPU. The CPU activates two outward cameras to allow a user to image, for example, a flower. The CPU filters data for search included in a database. The CPU obtains color information, shape information and a size of the imaged flower. A shape category is obtained, and with the shape category, data for search included in a database for search is further filtered. Then, by comparing the color information, the shape information, and the size of the imaged flower with the data for search to be used, a score of a degree of approximation of the color information and scores of the degree of matching of the shape information and size, etc. are obtained. Then, images of flowers as candidates are presented in the descending order of the score (similarity level).
