ABSTRACT:
A color image conversion method and the associated system are disclosed. An allowed error range of pixels is determined. After an image input device reads a document, the pixel information and the pixel allowed error range are compared to determine whether the document is a color or black-and-white (BW) one. If it is a BW document, the image file is directly converted into a monochromic and grey-level one and stored in 8-bit or even 1-bit format, thereby reducing the storage space occupied by the image file.
