ABSTRACT:
The present invention has an object to determine whether image data is generated by data processing such as PDL, or optically captured scan-in image, for each area.
To achieve the object, a determining table is provided for distribution patterns of pixels having substantially the same pixel value for image data area composed of plural pixels. Then a reference area designating unit designates a reference area by selecting from input image data the pixel of interest having a pixel value and the reference pixels surrounding thereof. A same pixel value distribution generating unit compares the pixel value of the pixel of interest with the pixel values of the reference pixels in the reference area to generate a distribution pattern of the pixel having substantially the same pixel value. Next, a determining unit compares the generated distribution pattern with the distribution patterns held in the determining table to determine the reference area to be the image data generated by data processing.
