Image processing apparatus and control method therefor
An image processing apparatus according to the present invention comprises: an acquisition unit that acquires a statistical value of pixel values for each divided region; a determination unit that compares for each divided region the statistical value of the divided region acquired by the acquisition unit with a first threshold and determines whether the divided region is as color region or a monochrome region; and a re-determination unit that compares a statistical value of an adjacent divided region with a second threshold, by which a divided region is more likely determined as a color region than by the first threshold, for each adjacent divided region, and re-determines whether the adjacent divided region is a color region or a monochrome region.
