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.
Claims14
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;
