摘要:
An object of the present invention is to provide an image processing apparatus and an image processing method both offering a high-precision and general-purpose capability of identifying an image and performing appropriate processing depending on whether identification is effected. In the image processing apparatus and image processing method, image data is detected in visible and invisible light reflected from each of a target pixel and surrounding pixels. Based on the image data detected in visible and invisible light, a specific pattern is identified. The specific pattern appears substantially the same in color as a surrounding area under visible light but different in characteristic therefrom under invisible light, which is identified using the image data of the target pixel and surrounding pixels provided by a detector. The image processing apparatus is controlled depending on whether the identification is effected.

An electrophotographic system is constituted by an electrophotographic photosensitive member, a charger for charging the photosensitive member to a potential, and an illuminator for illuminating the charged photosensitive member with a light beam to form an electrostatic image thereon. The electrophotographic photosensitive member has a potential-exposure energy characteristic providing an induction energy and a gamma valve varying depending on an electric field intensity induced by the charged potential. The electrophotographic system further includes a controller for controlling the charged potential on the photosensitive member corresponding to resolution and gradation data of an original, so as to optimally reproduce the resolution and gradation, as desired, of the original.

A specified original that is not supposed to be copied is marked with a pattern that is formed by infrared reflected light. A copying apparatus includes a detecting unit for detecting the pattern and determines that an original is the specified original in accordance with the detection by the detecting unit. A copying operation is controlled in accordance with the determination of whether the original is the specified original that is not supposed to be copied.
