Abstract

An image processing apparatus includes a resolution ratio setting unit for setting a ratio of the resolution of input image data to the resolution of multi-value image data to be output, a pixel interpolation unit for interpolating and determining pixel values of output multi-value image data on the basis of the ratio set by the resolution ratio setting unit and the input image data, and an image data output unit for outputting the multi-value image data generated by the pixel interpolation unit.
