Image processing apparatus, control method therefor, and program
Input raster image data is divided into objects of each attribute. The division results, and charge information representing a consideration accrued from a vectorized process for the division results are displayed. It is designated whether to execute the vectorized process for the displayed division results. The vectorized process of converting the raster image data into vector data is executed on the basis of the contents of the designation.
1. An image processing apparatus, comprising:
at least one processor and a memory;
reading means for reading a document to obtain a document image;
dividing means for dividing the document image obtained by said reading means into a plurality of objects for each attribute of the document;
converting means for converting the document image into vector data for the objects divided by said dividing means;
holding means for holding a management table for managing conversion of the document image into the vector data by said converting means, wherein said management table manages an upper limit value of the number of objects that can be converted by said converting means for each of a plurality of types of management units; and
restricting means for restricting execution by said converting means according to the management table held by said holding means,
wherein said attributes comprise a plurality of types of attributes, and said restricting means restricts execution by said converting means for each respective type of the plurality of attributes.
2. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said management table manages the conversion into the vector data by said converting means for each of types of attributes dividable by said dividing means.
3. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said restricting means restricts execution by said converting means for each department.
4. A method of controlling an image processing apparatus, comprising:
a processor of the image processing apparatus performing the steps of:
a reading step of reading a document to obtain a document image;
a dividing step of dividing the document image obtained by the reading step into a plurality of objects for each attribute of the document;
a converting step of converting the document image into vector data for the objects divided by the dividing step;
a holding step of holding a management table for managing conversion of the document image into the vector data by said converting step, the management table manages an upper limit value of the number of objects that can be converted by the converting step for each of a plurality of types of management units; and
a restricting step of restricting execution by the converting step according to the management table held by the holding step,
wherein the attributes comprise a plurality of types of attributes, and the restricting step restricts execution by the converting step for each respective type of the plurality of attributes.
5. A method according to claim 4 , wherein the management table manages the conversion into the vector data by converting step for each of types of attributes dividable by the dividing step.
6. A method according to claim 4 , wherein the restricting step restricts execution by the converting step for each department.
