Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes a detector, a memory, and a converter. The detector detects a ruling and an angle of a screen from a binary image of each plate, the binary image being obtained as a result of screen processing. The memory stores a detection result for a plate for which a ruling and an angle have been detected by the detector. The converter converts an image obtained as a result of screen processing into a multi-level image by using, for a plate for which a detection result has been stored in the memory, a ruling and an angle in the detection result, or by using, for a plate other than the plate for which a detection result has been stored in the memory, a ruling and an angle obtained as a result of detection performed by the detector.
