Abstract:
An image processing apparatus which converts block form image data into raster form image data by using buffer memory, comprising:obtaining means for obtaining a number of pixels of given image data in a raster direction, the given image data representing an original image;calculating means for calculating an amount of image data which is temporarily stored in said buffer memory by comparing the amount of image data based on the number of pixels and a capacity of said buffer memory;storage control means for dividing the image data based on the amount calculated by said calculating means and storing the divided image data into said buffer memory; andconverting means for generating raster form image data by connecting the divided image data read out from said buffer memory based on the number of pixels of the divided image data in the raster direction and the number of pixels of the original image in the raster direction.
