ABSTRACT:
An image processing apparatus includes a map generation unit, a temporary area arrangement unit and a target area detection unit. The map generation unit acquires a map of scores in which each score pertaining to a degree—to which a corresponding unit area of image data is likely to be contained in a target area—is associated with a position of the corresponding unit area. The temporary area arrangement unit arranges a temporary area in a position determined in accordance with a predetermined condition, on the map of scores. The target area detection unit performs, at least once, at least one of: (1) processing of changing the position of the temporary area on the map of scores, and (2) processing of changing a ratio of a length of the temporary area in a predetermined direction to that of the temporary area in an orthogonal direction.
