Abstract:
An image processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire a bitmap image in which each of contained pixels has an alpha value indicating opacity of this pixel, and a rendering unit configured to render the bitmap image. The rendering unit is configured to, when rendering the bitmap image, refrain from performing alpha blending on a pixel contained in the bitmap image that has a specific alpha value and perform the alpha blending on a pixel contained in the bitmap image that has a different alpha value from the specific alpha value.

Claim (Index 2):
An image processing apparatus capable of generating a composite image by combining plural images at least including a foreground image and a background image, the image processing apparatus comprising:\n a memory; and a processor in communication with the memory, the processor being configured to perform operations comprising: performing, based on a number of times a transparent pixel is switched to a semi-transparent pixel or the semi-transparent pixel is switched to the transparent pixel by adjacency of the transparent pixel and the semi-transparent pixel on a line in the foreground image including a plurality of transparent pixels and a plurality of semi-transparent pixels, either one of (i) a first process of generating a composite image by not performing alpha blending to combine the transparent pixel with a pixel in the background image but performing alpha blending to combine the semi-transparent pixel with the pixel in the background image, and (ii) a second process of generating a composite image by performing alpha blending to combine the transparent pixel and the semi-transparent pixel with the pixel in the background image.
