ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to an image processing method and image processing apparatus capable of accurately cutting out a desired target from a displayed image. A polygonal area including a cutout target is specified from a displayed image. It is determined whether or not each side of the specified polygon contacts with the cutout target. A side that does not contact with the cutout target is selected as a side for starting cutout processing in accordance with the determination result. The pixel value is examined from the selected side in the inward direction of the polygonal area. It is determined whether or not the pixel belongs to the desired target. Finally, the desired target is cut out in accordance with the determination result.
