In this paper, we propose the identification method of artifacts in scenery images using color and line information. In the proposed method, the original image is divided into some areas based on color information, and whether or not artifacts are included for each divided area are judged using color and line information. The proposed method judges for each area in three level; (1) there is no artifacts, (2) there may be artifacts, and (3) it has a high possibility containing artifacts. We carried out a series of computer experiments and confirmed that the proposed method can identify the area including artifacts in 91.3%.
