Abstract:
A target area of image data of a scanned document is set, in which the target area has a predetermined size and a target pixel, characteristic amounts indicating the brightness at two pixels among the plurality of pixels included in the set target area are obtained, a determination is made on whether or not the difference between the obtained characteristic amounts indicating the brightness is higher than a threshold, a brightness correction amount is decided based on a characteristic amount indicating the brightness of the target pixel and the result of the determination, and the brightness characteristic amount indicating the brightness of the target pixel is corrected based on the decided correction amount.

Claim (Index 1):
An image processing apparatus comprising:\n an obtaining unit configured to set a target area of image data and obtain characteristic amounts indicating the brightness at two pixels among the plurality of pixels included in the set target area, wherein the target area has a predetermined size and a target pixel, and the image data is obtained by scanning a document; a determination unit configured to determine whether or not a difference between the characteristic amounts indicating the brightness which are obtained by the obtaining unit is higher than a threshold; a decision unit configured to decide a brightness correction amount based on a characteristic amount indicating the brightness of the target pixel and the result of the determination by the determination unit; and a correction unit configured to correct the characteristic amount indicating the brightness of the target pixel based on the brightness correction amount decided by the decision unit.
