Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus comprising: a storage configured to store object data which contains image data of an object and contour line data of the object, wherein the object data is extracted from document image data; a first conversion unit configured to convert the contour line data of the object to raster data; a second conversion unit configured to convert the image data of the object to raster data; a first determination unit configured to determine whether a display mode designated by a user is a simple display mode for displaying based on the contour line data or a detailed display mode for displaying based on the image data; a second determination unit configured to determine whether the second conversion unit is in a busy state; a display controller configured to cause a display unit (i) to display the raster data converted from the contour line data by the first conversion unit when the first determination unit determines that the display mode is a simple display mode, (ii) to display the raster data converted from the contour line data by the first conversion unit when the first determination unit determines that the display mode is the detailed display mode and the second determination unit determines that the second conversion unit is in a busy state, and (iii) to display the raster data converted from the image data by the second conversion unit when the first determination unit determines that the display mode is the detailed display mode and the second determination unit determines that the second conversion unit is not in a busy state.
