Abstract

The present invention enables mixture of a core line vectorization process and a outline vectorization process, and comprises: inputting an object image of a vectorization process; extracting a core line of the object image; computing an original line width for every pixel of the core line acquired by the extracting; judging whether every section is indicative of an equal-width line or indicative of a surface figure by using the line width value for every pixel of the core line acquired by the estimating, the every unit delimiting the core line acquired by the extracting between two points of intersections and endpoints; separating a surface figure from the object image on the basis of a judging result of the judging; and approximating functionally the core line judged to be the equal-width line at the judging and a outline of the surface figure separated at the separating, respectively.
