ABSTRACT:
A binary image is generated by binarizing a multilevel image. An edge image is generated by extracting an edge component in the multilevel image. The binary image is segmented into a plurality of regions with different attributes. An outline candidate of a halftone region is extracted from the edge image. A second region segmentation result is output on the basis of the information of the outline candidate and information of the region segmentation result.
