IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND IMAGE PROCESSING PROGRAM RECORDED RECORDING MEDIUM

摘要

An image processing apparatus operative to properly obtain an original area when one or a plurality of originals exists. The image processing apparatus decides an image data area of an original from read image data read thereby. The image processing apparatus has an extracting unit for extracting a plurality of image areas from the read image data and a discriminating unit for discriminating whether or not tilt angles of the image areas extracted by the extracting unit are equal. If one or more tile angles of the image areas are not equal as a result of the discrimination by the discriminating unit, it is determined that each of the image areas is an image data area of the original on the assumption that there are a plurality of originals.

主权项

1. An apparatus, comprising:
an acquiring unit configured to acquire a read image of one or more originals read by a reading device; an extracting unit configured to extract one or more candidate areas corresponding to the one or more originals in the read image acquired by the acquiring unit, by analyzing the read image; and a deciding unit configured to, in a case where a first candidate area and a second candidate area are extracted by the extracting unit, decide whether each of the first and second candidate areas corresponds individually to one of the originals, based on a difference between the first candidate and the second candidate areas.
