<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To achieve an increase in speed of entire processing from generation of a basic image to reduction thereof in an image processing apparatus for generating an image (basic image) based on a program document to generate thumbnails. <P>SOLUTION: An interpreter section 201 interprets a program document. An RIP 202 generates a basic image by a predetermined resolution. A reduced image generation section 203 generates a thumbnail image in which the basic image is reduced using a predetermined reduction system. An estimated processing time calculation section 204 calculates an estimated processing time for generating a thumbnail image from a program document based on a feature amount extracted from the program document, a resolution and the reduction system. A resolution change section 206 changes the resolution to be smaller when the estimated processing time is more than the threshold thereof. The resolution change section 206 further changes the resolution to be smaller until the predicted processing time becomes smaller than the threshold thereof. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
