Abstract
An image processing apparatus specifies pixels other than a white pixel which are included in a window, the window including a target pixel and pixels in the vicinity of the target pixel in a scanned image. Thereafter, the image processing apparatus averages color values of the specified pixels other than the white pixel, and then determines whether the target pixel is a color pixel based on a color value obtained by the averaging.
