Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes a memory to store instructions, and one or more processors to execute the instructions and cause the image processing apparatus to function as a count unit and a determination unit. The count unit counts an image object of gray in an input image as a color pixel, wherein the count unit does not count an image object of white in the input image as a color pixel. The determination unit determines whether the input image is a color document based on a number of color pixels counted by the count unit.
