Abstract:
To implement sharpness recovery processing suitable for an image, an image processing apparatus for generating, based on an input image, a halftone image to be provided to an image forming unit which forms an image on a printing medium, comprises: a recovery processing unit configured to perform, on the input image, recovery processing for compensating for sharpness degradation in an image formed by the image forming unit; a generating unit configured to generate a recovery amount of each pixel by using the input image having undergone the recovery processing; and a halftone processing unit configured to generate, based on the recovery amount, the halftone image by performing halftone processing on the input image having undergone the recovery processing.

Claim (Index 10):
The apparatus according to  claim 9 , further comprising an enlarging/reducing unit configured to perform image enlarging/reducing processing,\n wherein when the reading unit generates the input image by a first resolution and the halftone processing unit performs image processing by a second resolution different from the first resolution, the enlarging/reducing unit enlarges/reduces the input image and the recovery amount image such that the images have the second resolution, and the halftone processing unit performs the halftone processing on the input image enlarged/reduced by the enlarging/reducing unit, based on the recovery amount image enlarged/reduced by the enlarging/reducing unit.
