ABSTRACT:
An image processing device includes a processor controlling one or more components of the image processing device, a region extraction unit for separating and extracting a character region, a graphic region and a photograph region from image data; a region compression unit for performing a compression process for each of the region data extracted by the region extraction unit; a region synthesis unit for synthesizing the region data compressed by the region compression unit; and an image size calculation unit for calculating an image size of specific region data extracted by the region extraction unit. The region compression unit selectively uses a first compression method or a second compression method to perform the compression process for the specific region data.
