An image processing apparatus including a data analyzing unit includes an input unit and a color/monochrome determining unit. The input unit inputs image data that is obtained by scanning an original document through a CCD having a plurality of lines that can scan color documents. The color/monochrome determining unit determines whether the original document is color or monochrome based on the input image data. When chromatic pixels and their complementary color pixels are detected in a specified image area of the image data, the color/monochrome determining unit excludes the detected chromatic pixels and their complementary color pixels from information that is used in the determination in which the original document of the image data is determined as color or monochrome.
