Claims
- 1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
- input means for inputting visible information and invisible information, in accordance with an image;
- detecting means for detecting whether or not there is a line image whose color is visually unremarkable on said image, on the basis of the visible information; and
- discriminating means for discriminating the image having a predetermined pattern in accordance with the detection by said detecting means and the invisible information.
- 2. An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the invisible information is infrared information.
- 3. An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the visible information is a plurality of color component data.
- 4. An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said input means comprises a plurality of linear sensors and each respective linear sensor inputs one of visible information and invisible information.
- 5. An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said discriminating means comprises a plurality of memory means.
- 6. An image processing apparatus comprising:
- input means for inputting visible information and invisible information, in accordance with an image;
- deciding means for deciding an area rate of specific invisible information included in a predetermined unit area on said image and for generating a decision result; and
- discriminating means for discriminating said image having a predetermined pattern in accordance with the decision result generated by said deciding means.
- 7. An apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the invisible information is infrared information.
- 8. An apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the visible information is a plurality of color component data.
- 9. An apparatus according to claim 6, wherein said input means comprises a plurality of linear sensors and each respective linear sensor inputs one of visible information and invisible information.
- 10. An apparatus according to claim 6, wherein said discriminating means comprises a plurality of memory means.
- 11. An image processing apparatus comprising:
- input means for inputting visible information and invisible information, in accordance with an image;
- detecting means for detecting a predetermined periodic pattern based on the invisible information; and
- discriminating means for discriminating whether or not the image is a specific image, in accordance with the detection by said detecting means.
- 12. An apparatus according to claim 11, wherein the invisible information is infrared information.
- 13. An apparatus according to claim 11, wherein the visible information is a plurality of color component data.
- 14. An apparatus according to claim 11, wherein said input means comprising a plurality of linear sensors and each respective linear sensor inputs one of visible information and invisible information.
- 15. An apparatus according to claim 11, wherein said discriminating means comprises a plurality of memory means.
- 16. An image processing apparatus comprising:
- input means for inputting a visible information signal and an invisible information signal, in accordance with an image;
- first detecting means for detecting a presence of change of the visible information signal and an absence of change of the invisible information signal in a predetermined region;
- second detecting means for detecting an absence of change of the visible information signal and an absence of change of the invisible information signal in the predetermined region; and
- discriminating means for discriminating the image having a predetermined pattern in accordance with the detection by said first and second detecting means.
- 17. An apparatus according to claim 16, wherein the invisible information is infrared information.
- 18. An apparatus according to claim 16, wherein the visible information is a plurality of color component data.
- 19. An apparatus according to claim 16, wherein said input means comprises a plurality of linear sensors and each respective linear sensor inputs one of visible information and invisible information.
- 20. An apparatus according to claim 16, wherein said discriminating means comprises a plurality of memory means.
