Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes: an initial solution generator that generates, from input images, as an initial solution, internal data of one or more screen images of a layered image, the layered image including multiple screen images consisting of the one or more screen images and one end image; an image generator that iterates a process of generating internal data of the multiple screen images; and a controller that, when a termination condition is satisfied, outputs, as data of the layered image, the finally generated internal data of the multiple screen images. The image generator generates internal data of the multiple screen images from the initial solution in a first round of the process, and then until the termination condition is satisfied, in each round of the process, generates new internal data of the multiple screen images from the internal data generated in the previous round of the process.
