A marker dot detecting device for a color image recording apparatus such as a color copying machine, color facsimile, or color printer. The marker dot detecting device includes a marker dot detecting unit for detecting a marker dot by detecting a plane size of binary image data having a preset marker color. Further, the marker dot detecting unit includes a template mask unit having a first template mask in a predetermined first size and a second template mask in a predetermined second size larger than the first size, the second template mask including the first template mask. The template mask unit outputs a marker dot detecting signal when a detected size of the marker dot is larger than that of the first template mask and smaller than that of the second template mask.
A marker dot detecting device for a color image recording apparatus, comprising marker dot detecting means for detecting a marker dot by detecting a plane size of binary image date having a preset marker color, said marker dot detecting means including template mask means having a first template mask in a predetermined first size and a second template mask in a predetermined second size larger than the first size, said second template mask including said first template mask, said template mask means outputting a marker dot detecting signal when a detected size of the marker dot is larger than that of said first template mask and smaller than that of said second template mask.
A color image recording apparatus for performing an editing process based on a marker dot detection, comprising:
