Abstract
An image processing apparatus processes vector image data in units of blocks. When vector image data associated with a first block satisfies a predetermined condition, the image processing apparatus stores the result of processing the vector image data associated with the first block. When vector image data associated with a second block matches the vector image data associated with the first block, the image processing apparatus outputs the result of processing the vector image data associated with the first block, which is stored therein.
Claims16
An image processing apparatus configured to process second vector image data associated with a first block of first vector image data, the apparatus comprising:
- a processing unit configured to process the second vector image data;
- a determination unit configured to determine whether the second vector image data satisfies a predetermined condition;
- a storage unit configured to store a result of processing the second vector image data determined to satisfy the predetermined condition;
- and
- an output unit configured to output the result of processing the second vector image data when the second vector image data matches third vector image data associated with a second block of the first vector image data.
An image processing method for processing second vector image data associated with a first block of first vector image data, the method comprising:
- processing the second vector image data;
- determining whether the second vector image data satisfies a predetermined condition;
- storing a result of processing the second vector image data determined to satisfy the predetermined condition;
- and
- outputting the result of processing the second vector image data when the second vector image data matches third vector image data associated with a second block of the first vector image data.
