1. An image processing apparatus comprising:

  • a detector for detecting a plurality of coordinate values indicating an outline of an object included in an input image; and

    a generator for generating outline data based on the plurality of coordinate values detected by said detector,said generator including;

    a unit for calculating relative coordinate values of the coordinate values detected based on a coordinate value set as a reference;

    a unit for calculating a normalization coefficient for normalizing said relative coordinate values to values within a numeric value range defined by a prescribed number of digits; and

    a unit for generating the outline data by multiplying the respective relative coordinate values by said normalization coefficient.
