Abstract

An image processing device includes a first unit for detecting a pixel at which a predetermined local variation of image data occurs, a second unit for detecting a density relating to the above pixel within a predetermined scanning area, and a third unit for determining whether or not the image data forms a dotted-image area on the basis of the density detected by the second unit.
