Image processing for storing objects separated from an image in a storage device

An image processing method, the method comprising:

• separating objects constituting an image inputted by an image input unit;
• setting a criterion to determine whether a separated object is stored or not;
• determining whether the separated object is stored or not based on the criterion set in the setting step;
• and
• displaying the separated object, responding to a user access via an interface unit, when the separated object is determined to be stored in the determination step and storing the separated object such that the separated object can be reused.

A computer readable medium storing a program code thereon having computer-executable instructions for causing a computer to execute processing, the computer readable medium comprising:

• computer-executable instructions for separating objects constituting an image inputted by an image input unit;
• computer-executable instructions for setting a criterion to determine whether a separated object is stored or not;
• computer-executable instructions for determining whether the separated object is stored or not based on the criterion set in the setting step;
• and
• computer-executable instructions for displaying the separated object, responding to a user access via an interface unit, when the separated object is determined to be stored in the determination step and storing the separated object such that the separated object can be reused.
