Abstract
An image processing apparatus determines a position separated by a predetermined distance from an edge of an object included in image data. The position is outer side of the object. The apparatus deforms a shape of the object based on the determined position so that the determined position becomes a new edge of the object. And the apparatus performs predetermined image processing for edge, based on the determined position, on the new edge of the object after the deformation is performed.
Claims13
An image processing apparatus, comprising:
- a determining unit configured to determine a position separated by a predetermined distance from an edge of an object included in image data, the position being outer side of the object;
- a deforming unit configured to deform a shape of the object based on the determined position so that the determined position becomes a new edge of the object;
- and
- a processing unit configured to perform predetermined image processing for edge, based on the determined position, on the new edge of the object after the deformation is performed by the deforming unit.

An image processing apparatus comprising:
- an obtaining unit configured to obtain image data including an object;
- an determining unit configured to determine, by analyzing the obtained image data including the object on which a deformation is not yet performed, a position separated from an edge of the object included in image data, as a position of new edge of the object on which the deformation has been performed;
- a deforming unit configured to perform the deformation by deforming a shape of the object included in the obtained image data;
- and
- an image processing unit configured to perform image processing on the image data including the object on which the deformation has been performed,
- wherein,
- the determining unit is configured to output information indicating the determined position of the new edge, to the image processing unit, and
- the image processing unit is configured to perform, based on the information output from the determining unit, the image processing on the image data including the object on which the deformation has been performed.
