At least one kind of image input modality and at least one kind of image
information output device are connected to an image processing system. At
least one kind of image input modality, which is among connected image
input modalities, includes a plurality of image information input
apparatuses having different input device characteristics. The image
processing system comprises a standardization device for carrying out
transform processing on image information such that, in every case where
the image information has been received from one image information input
apparatus, which is among the plurality of the image information input
apparatuses, the received image information may be transformed into
standard image information, which does not depend upon the input device
characteristics of the one image information input apparatus and depends
upon standard device characteristics having been set previously for the
image input modality including the one image information input apparatus.
