Abstract
An image processing apparatus may create text image data representing a text image, based on target image data representing a target image including text. The image processing apparatus may determine an extended text area in the target image based on information related to a sharpness of the text included in the target image. The extended text area may include a text area corresponding to pixels constituting text in the text image represented by the created text image data, and also include a surrounding area around the text area. The image processing apparatus may change a color of the extended text area to a color of a background of the target image to create background image data.
Claims23
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a controller configured to:
- create text image data representing a text image, based on target image data representing a target image including text;
- determine an extended text area in the target image based on information related to a sharpness of the text included in the target image, the extended text area including a text area corresponding to pixels constituting text in the text image represented by the created text image data, and also including a surrounding area around the text area;
- and
- change a color of the extended text area to a color of a background of the target image to create background image data.
A computer-readable storage medium storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed, cause a processor to perform:
- creating text image data representing a text image, based on target image data representing a target image including text;
- determining an extended text area in the target image based on information related to a sharpness of the text included in the target image, the extended text area including a text area corresponding to pixels constituting text in the text image represented by the created text image data, and also including a surrounding area around the text area;
- and
- changing a color of the extended text area to a color of a background of the target image to create background image data.
A method comprising:
- creating text image data representing a text image, based on target image data representing a target image including text;
- determining an extended text area in the target image based on information related to a sharpness of the text included in the target image, the extended text area including a text area corresponding to pixels constituting text in the text image represented by the created text image data, and also including a surrounding area around the text area;
- and
- changing a color of the extended text area to a color of a background of the target image to create background image data.
