<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image processing apparatus and a control method thereof for more highly accurately analyzing coded information embedded in a document when using an image reader capable of optical magnification. <P>SOLUTION: The image processing apparatus for receiving an image from a scanner 0113 capable of optical magnification, includes: an image magnification unit 0260 for digitally magnifying the received image, and an information detection unit 0270 for detecting coded information from the received image. When a scaling factor is not suitable for optical magnification (steps 0907, 1007), the received image is digitally magnified, in place of optical magnification (steps 0909. 1009). Prior to digitally magnifying the received image, the information detection unit 0270 detects coded information from the received image (steps 0908, 1008). <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
