An average calculating section calculates an average of nine pixel values of each pixel block. With an assumption that the average value is expressed by 9 bits as a.sub.1 a.sub.2 a.sub.3 a.sub.4 a.sub.5 a.sub.6 a.sub.7 a.sub.8 a.sub.9 (a.sub.k : 1-bit value), a data allocating section allocates the respective bits a.sub.1 -a.sub.9 to 3.times.3 bits of each memory block of a two-value data storing section. After the nine bits a.sub.1 -a.sub.9 are read out from the two-value data storing section, a data reconstructing section combines those nine bits into the original average value, and repeatedly copies the average value to form a 3.times.3 pixel block.

Image processing apparatus having storage area for efficiently storing

An image processing system which reads an image on an original document every pixel by a scanner, processes the read image data, and outputs the processed image data. The image processing system includes a system for recognizing a circular image of a specific color. The recognizing system includes a specific color detecting unit for detecting a specific color on an image on an original document; a first image detecting unit for detecting, in the image detected by the specific color detecting unit, images of the specific color at positions spaced from each other by a first distance corresponding to a diameter of a circle on a line extending in a fast scan direction; a second image detecting unit for detecting intersections of the circle having the diameter equal to the first distance and a line separated by a predetermined distance from a center of the circle in a slow scan direction when the specific color images are detected by the first image detecting unit; and a specific color image determining unit for determining that a contour containing the images of the specific color, detected by the three detecting units, is circular on the basis of the detection of a pitch line of a second distance by the second image detecting unit.
