A data processing apparatus is provided with a part memory, which stores a plurality of part patterns of each of components which compose an object. A video signal of an image of the object, a montage of which is to be composed, is entered through an image-data input unit to an image memory to be stored therein. Image data stored in the image memory includes component-image data corresponding to the components. The component image data corresponding to a component is read out in accordance with basic position data of the component stored in a basic position memory. The plurality of part patterns stored in the part memory are compared with the component-image data in a pattern matching unit. The part patterns of the highest degree of resemblance are selected with respect to all the components, and are combined to be displayed on a display unit. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention has been made in the light of above mentioned situations and has an object to provide a data processing apparatus which is capable of composing a pattern-image or a portrait of a person which shows a good resemblance to an image of the person without requiring the user to do irritating operations in selecting proper part patterns.
According one aspect of the invention, there is provided a data processing apparatus which comprises: input means for inputting image data of a face of a person, the image data obtained by taking a picture of the person; image-data storing means for storing the image data input by said input means; component-data storing means for storing a plurality of pattern data of each of components which compose a human face, said components of the human face including at least eyes, a nose and a mouth, and said plurality of pattern data representing different shapes of the component, respectively; component-deriving means for deriving component-image data corresponding to one of the components from the image data stored in said image-data storing means; judging means for determining degree of resemblance of the pattern data of each of the components to the component-image data of the relevant component derived by said component-deriving means; and processing means for designating pattern data of the highest degree of resemblance with respect to all the components based on the degree of resemblance determined by said judging means, and for combining the designated pattern data to compose a portrait of the person, whereby a portrait is composed which shows a better resemblance to the face of the person.
With the above structure of the data processing apparatus, once the image data of the face image of the person has been entered and stored in the image-data storing means, a component-image data for each of components derived from the image data stored in the image storing means is compared with each of the plurality of patterns data for each of the components which are previously stored in the component-data storing means, the pattern data showing the best resemblance to the relevant component-image data is selected for each of the components, and the selected pattern data are combined to compose a portrait by the part combining means, whereby a portrait showing a good resemblance to the image of the person is composed
