Abstract:
An image processing apparatus specifies, from among target pixels in a target image, first pixels related to a first color, and determines whether a specific condition is met for each peripheral pixel of the target pixel. The specific condition includes a condition that each peripheral pixel is a candidate for a pixel representing one of colors different from the first color. The apparatus specifies, as a second pixel related to a second color, each peripheral pixel meeting the specific condition. The apparatus performs an image process on target image data by using specified first and second pixels to generate processed image data. In a processed image, first processed pixels correspond to the specified first pixels and have the first color, and second processed pixels correspond to the specified second pixels and have the second color.
