    摘要: When image information for the purpose of being printed out has been entered, whether or not the image information contains a mark image such as a watermark is determined to such an extent that will not lower the throughput of a printer. To accomplish this, the image is input and elapsed time starts being measured from the start of detection processing that is for detecting whether a specific image is contained in the input image. If time runs out during the course of detection processing, a decision is rendered to the effect that the image does not contain the specific image.

    摘要: The present invention uses an image processing apparatus for inputting low-resolution video information, expanding one pixel to N×M pixels, and converting a low-resolution image into a high-resolution image, which comprises a first window formation unit for referring to peripheral pixels including a noticeable pixel, plural conversion units different from each other in conversion method for converting one pixel to N×M pixels, and a selection unit for selecting a proper conversion method out of the plural conversion units in accordance with a distribution state of pixels in a first window and in which the conversion units calculates conversion values for N×M pixels of the noticeable pixel in accordance with an evaluation result of the type of a selected conversion unit in adjacent pixels including the noticeable pixel in an evaluation unit. Thereby, when converting low-resolution information into high-resolution information, it is possible to realize a preferable conversion free from jaggies without causing halation due to interpolation and generate high-resolution information in which continuity is not broken at a boundary point for each conversion in conversions provided with nonlinearity.
