Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes: a code detector configured to detect a code included in image data, and a number-of-pixels converting unit configured to increase the number of pixels of the image data by converting the number of pixels of the image data by a factor of N, wherein, when N is a non-integer, the number-of-pixels converting unit converts the number of pixels in a first region including the code in the image data by an integer factor and converts the number of pixels in a second region different from the first region in the image data by a factor of N.
