  • Patent number: 5038379
    Abstract: There is an image information searching apparatus for analyzing the character information in the image information inputted from an image inputting apparatus and producing search information to search the image information. This apparatus comprises: a scanner to scan a recording medium such as a microfilm or a recording paper in which image information was recorded; this image information including discriminating information to discriminate this image information or a plurality of image information of the same group from another image information; a dictionary information memory section in which dictionary information such as a standard pattern of a character or a numeral to recognize the discriminating information was stored; a recognition controller to recognize the discrminating information using the dictionary information; and an image information memory section to store the recognized discriminating information as search information together with the image information corresponding thereto.
