IMAGE FORMATION APPARATUS

摘要

An image formation apparatus includes: an image capturing device that reads an original document and generates image data of the original document; a color determiner that determines a color of a pixel of the image data; a blank line determiner that detects a blank line of the image data based on the color of the pixel determined by the color determiner; a parallel direction determiner that detects an extension direction of each of the character strings on the original document, based on the blank line; a character string area determiner that detects a start position and an end position of each of the character strings; and a orthogonal direction determiner that detects an orientation of the original document based on the start position and the end position.

1. An image formation apparatus comprising:
an image capturing device that reads an original document and generates image data of the original document; a color determiner that determines a color of a pixel of the image data; a blank line determiner that detects a blank line in the image data based on the color of the pixel determined by the color determiner; a parallel direction determiner that determines an extension direction of a line space between adjacent character strings on the original document, based on the blank line; a character string area determiner that detects a start position and an end position of each of the character strings; and an orthogonal direction determiner that determine an orientation of the original document based on the start position and the end position of each of the character strings.
