Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes: a code detector configured to detect a code included in image data, and a number-of-pixels converting unit configured to increase the number of pixels of the image data by converting the number of pixels of the image data by a factor of N, wherein, when N is a non-integer, the number-of-pixels converting unit converts the number of pixels in a first region including the code in the image data by an integer factor and converts the number of pixels in a second region different from the first region in the image data by a factor of N.
Claims7
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a processor configured to detect a code included in image data and configured to increase the number of pixels of the image data by converting the number of pixels of the image data by a factor of N that is larger than one,
- wherein, when N is a non-integer, the processor converts, by an integer factor, the number of pixels in a first region including the code in the image data and converts, by the factor of N, the number of pixels in a second region different from the first region in the image data.
An image processing method comprising:
- detecting a code included in image data;
- and
- increasing the number of pixels of the image data by converting the number of pixels of the image data by a factor of N that is larger than one,
- wherein the increasing of the number of pixels of the image data includes, when N is a non-integer, converting, by an integer factor, the number of pixels in a first region including the code in the image data and converting, by the factor of N, the number of pixels in a second region different from the first region in the image data.
