METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROCESSING IMAGE

摘要

The present invention relates to an image processing apparatus and method. The image processing method comprises the steps of scanning at least one pixel line in a predetermined direction in an image including a plurality of pixels to extract change points of the pixels of each pixel line, and comparing a first distance between a change point of a first pixel of a first pixel line and a change point of a second pixel of a second pixel line positioned on one side of the first pixel line, and a second distance between the change point of the first pixel and a change point of a third pixel of a third pixel line positioned on the other side of the first pixel line, with a predetermined threshold value to determine a point in time at which the scanning is to be terminated.
