1. A code type determining method, comprising:
- a block selecting step of selecting input image data in units of rectangular blocks;
a block determining step of determining whether or not the selected block satisfies a predetermined condition; and
a code determining step of determining a type of code included in the block which satisfies the predetermined condition.

8. A method detecting a boundary of two-dimensional code where data put into cells is arranged in a two-dimensional state, comprising:
-
a first white successive length detecting step of scanning input image data, and detecting a successive length of white cells;
a second white successive length detecting step of scanning the input image data in a direction which intersects with a first white successive length, and detecting a successive length of white cells, which has an intersection with the first white successive length, and exceeds a predetermined length; and
a boundary detecting step of detecting an intersection of the first white successive length and a second white successive length as a code boundary position. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A computer-readable portable storage medium, which is used by a computer determining a type of a code included in input image data, and on which is recorded a program for causing the computer to execute a process, the process comprising:
-
a step of selecting input image data in units of rectangular blocks;
a step of determining whether or not the selected block satisfies a predetermined condition; and
a step of determining a type of code included in the block which satisfies the predetermined condition. - View Dependent Claims (17)
