ABSTRACT:
In an image processing apparatus, a histogram calculation unit calculates a histogram that is consonant with an input image, a binary threshold value calculation unit calculates a binary threshold value, based on the histogram, with which a predetermined area in the input image is blurred, and a binarizing unit binarizes the input image using the binary threshold value. In addition, a calculation unit calculates the color of the predetermined area of the input image based on the results obtained by the binarizing unit.
