Abstract
An image processing system which processes an image including a plurality of object images. Object images related to each other are detected, and are then image processed. Drawing commands indicating the respective object images are input and a determination is made as to whether the plurality of object images are related to each other, on the basis of position information managed by rectangular areas according to the respective drawing commands. Position information managed by the rectangular areas of object images which have been determined as being related to each other are combined to generate object image management information. An image processing condition is set in accordance with the object image management information. Combining of the position information is controlled such that a rectangular area associated with position information created as a result of the combining does not include a large unnecessary area.
