ABSTRACT:
An image processing apparatus includes a bit conversion part for converting an input multilevel image signal obtained via raster scanning into an output multilevel image signal through an MTF correction processes; a bi-level rendition part for performing a bi-level rendition processes with respect to the output multilevel image signal so that a first bi-level image signal is produced, and for performing a pseudo halftone rendition process with respect to the input multilevel image signal to generate a second bi-level image signal; a discrimination part for detecting whether a picture element indicated by the input multilevel image signal is located in a halftone region of an original image or in a bi-level region thereof, and an image synthesizing part for outputting the first bi-level image signal to an output device when the picture element is detected as being located in the bi-level region of the original image and for outputting the second bi-level image signal to the output device when the picture element is detected as being located in the halftone region of the original image.
