Abstract:
An image processing apparatus includes an automatic document type discrimination section for estimating a type of input image data. The automatic document type discrimination section is capable of detecting whether each of plural types of halftone dot areas exists or not in the image data, and the automatic document type discrimination section estimates the type of the image data. Therefore, the image processing apparatus can exactly estimate the type of the image.
