ABSTRACT:
Image data to be recovered having a loss part is input into an image processing apparatus. The image processing apparatus generates restoration data with the loss part corrected. The image processing apparatus includes a thinning processing unit, an end-point extraction unit, a pair-of-connection-end-point extraction unit and a connection unit. The thinning processing unit executes thinning processing with respect to the image data to be recovered having the loss part. The end-point extraction unit executes finding end points of thinned lines of the image data generated by the thinning processing unit. The pair-of-connection-end-point extraction unit extracts a pair of connection end points to be connected from the end points extracted by the end-point extraction unit. The connection unit connects the pair of connection end points extracted by the pair-of-connection-end-point extraction unit.
