Image processing apparatus and image processing method with editing

摘要

An image processing apparatus combines a background image, handwritten image, and a standard image. A reference image acquired by increasing the luminance value of the background image and the standard image is printed on a recording sheet. A recording sheet is read after being filled in, and a region whose luminance value is lower than a predetermined threshold value and a region indicated by standard image mask data are extracted. The extracted regions are combined with the background image and printed. In particular, the standard image mask data indicates a region in the standard image which is easily affected by a background color of a paper, so that color adjustment is performed on the region in the extracted image which is indicated by the mask data. As a result, the region in the standard image is prevented from being affected by the background color of the recording sheet in the combined result, and the images can be combined and printed according to the original color of the standard image.

1. An apparatus comprising: at least one processor to function as:
an inputting unit configured to input a read image obtained by reading, by a reading apparatus, a sheet on which an object is printed by a printing apparatus and information is added by a user; an extraction unit configured to extract the information and the object which are to be combined with an original image, from the read image, by specifying the object to be combined from the read image based on comparison between the read image and the object stored in a memory; a specifying unit configure to specify a part, to be edited, of the object extracted by the extraction unit, by comparing the read image and the object stored in the memory; an editing unit configured to edit the part of the object specified by the specifying unit; and a combining unit configured to combine the information and the object on the original image, the information and object being extracted from the read image by the extraction unit and the part of the object being edited by the editing unit.
