ABSTRACT:
An object of the invention is to provide an image processing apparatus capable of extracting a target image portion included in an image targeted for processing with high accuracy, by reducing a data amount required for extracting the target image portion. The image processing apparatus mounted in the image forming apparatus includes: pre-processing section for converting information for use in image formation into low-volume information for use in image extraction; an image judging section for judging whether or not a specific image part belonging to the target image portion is included in the image targeted for processing; and an image confirming section for checking, when the specific image part is judged to be included in the image targeted for processing, whether or not a potential target image portion including the specific image part is equal to the target image portion.
