Abstract:
An image processing apparatus that performs rendering processing for forming an image by a scan line method, including: a span processing unit configured to generate span data corresponding to a span demarcated by a contour of an object existing on a scan line; an elimination unit configured to perform elimination processing of an object unnecessary for drawing in the span for the generated span data; and a generation unit configured to generate a bitmap image in units of pages by using pixel data necessary for drawing of each span based on the span data after the elimination processing, wherein the generation unit generates, in a case where a part of a specific image object within a page is eliminated by the elimination processing, the pixel data necessary for drawing of each span is generated by acquiring the pixel data corresponding to the part from a FIFO memory and then discarding the acquired pixel data corresponding to the part in accordance with instructions to read and discard the part included in the span data after the elimination processing.

Claim (Index 8):
The image processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein\n the at least one processor executes instructions in the memory device to:\n add, in the elimination processing, in a case where an object existing in a processing-target span is the specific image object and another object overlaps a front side thereof, the read and discard instructions to span data in place of eliminating the overlap portion in the specific image object; and \n generate the bitmap image in units of pages based on the span data to which the read and discard instructions are added.
