Abstract
A storage medium readable by a computer stores a program of instructions executable by the computer to perform a function. The function comprises comparing input image data with reference image data, extracting an annotation contained in the input image data based on a result of comparing, discriminating a geometry of the annotation, and classifying the annotation according to the geometry of the annotation.

A storage medium readable by a computer, the storage medium storing a program of instructions executable by the computer to perform a function comprising:
- comparing input image data with reference image data;
- extracting an annotation contained in the input image data based on a result of comparing;
- discriminating a geometry of the annotation;
- and
- classifying the annotation according to the geometry of the annotation.
An annotation data processing apparatus comprising:
- a comparing unit that compares input image data with reference image data;
- an extractor that extracts an annotation contained in the input image data based on a result of comparing;
- a discriminating unit that discriminates a geometry of the annotation;
- and
- a classification unit that classifies the annotation according to the geometry of the annotation.
