Image processing for facilitating identification of colors using patterned regions

摘要

An image processing apparatus includes an image region determining unit, an image color determining unit, and a change processor. The image region determining unit is configured to determine a colored region where an inside of an outline is filled with a single color from color image data. The image color determining unit is configured to determine a color of the colored region determined by the image region determining unit. The change processor is configured to change the colored region determined by the image region determining unit to a patterned region with a pattern different in each of the colors determined by the image color determining unit.
