Abstract
An image processing apparatus, an image processing method and a recording medium capable of detecting a plurality of breaks in a coating material and an inclined break of the coating material are provided. The image processing apparatus includes a grouping unit for extracting coating areas representing a coating material from an input image acquired by imaging an inspection object linearly coated with the coating material and grouping the coating areas for each sequence of linear parts, a calculation unit for calculating a line width in an orthogonal direction of a linear part for each of the linear parts in a plurality of portions of the coating area including end portions of the linear parts, a break detecting unit for detecting a break in the coating material based on the calculated line widths, and an output unit for outputting an indication representing occurrence of the break when the break is detected.
