40. An apparatus comprising: means for generating first grayscale image data and second grayscale image data from multi-channel image data associated with a multi-channel image, the first grayscale image data generated using first channel data of the multi-channel image data, the second grayscale image data generated using second channel data of the multi-channel image data, the first grayscale image data distinct from the second grayscale image data; means for identifying first text region data in the first grayscale image data and determining first text region information from the first text region data; means for identifying second text region data in the second grayscale image data and determining second text region information from the second text region data; and means for generating text information of the multi-channel image based on the first and the second text region information.
