ABSTRACT:
This disclosure relates to an image processing apparatus or an image processing method, and takes as its technical problem the fact that conventionally it is difficult to perform a process of carving out a rectangle with high precision in a noisy environment.Therefore, as to an image made by binarizing an original image, histograms of the numbers of horizontal and vertical black pixels thereof are created and trapezoidal approximation is performed on the histograms so as to detect vertex coordinates indicating an extent of a rectangular area in the binary image. An inclination direction of the rectangular area in the extent is detected so that the rectangular area can be detected from the binary image with high precision.
