Abstract
An image processing apparatus has: a generating unit configured to generate inspection target image data on the basis of read image data; a setting unit configured to set inspection target areas from the inspection target image data; and an extracting unit configured to extract a unique portion by applying a predetermined process to the set inspection target areas. The setting unit sets the inspection target areas so as to make the ratio of inspection target areas to the entire image area of the inspection target image data in a predetermined direction larger than the ratio of inspection target areas to the entire image area in a direction intersecting with the predetermined direction.
