ABSTRACT:
An image processing apparatus, image processing method, and program which enable generation of vector data capable of replicating a clipart region of a raw image as faithfully as possible are provided. To accomplish this, a raw image is segmented into region images according to attributes. From the segmented region images, a region image having a predetermined attribute is cut out from the raw image. At least one representative color which configures the predetermined region image is decided based on an appearance color of the cut out predetermined region image. A color image having the decided representative color is extracted from the predetermined region image. A contour line of the extracted color image is extracted. An edge image within the predetermined region image is extracted. The extracted contour line is corrected based on the extracted edge image. Using the corrected contour line, vector data of the predetermined region image is generated.
