ABSTRACT:
An image processing apparatus creates a pixel value histogram of an objective image, and approximates a predetermined range of the created histogram by a bended line formed from two straight lines. Then the apparatus extracts a pixel value at a boundary between a predetermined region and another region of the objective image in accordance with the approximation.
