IMAGE CORRECTION APPARATUS, OVERHEAD IMAGE READING APPARATUS, IMAGE CORRECTION METHOD, AND PROGRAM

摘要

An image correction apparatus includes a read image acquiring unit that acquires read image data generated by an imaging device that moves in a sub-scanning direction with respect to a reading medium irradiated with an environmental light to read the reading medium; a selecting unit that selects a correction filter for correcting a pixel of interest in the acquired read image data based on brightness or luminance component of a pixel in a determination filter including the pixel of interest; and a correction unit that corrects tone data of the pixel of interest based on the correction filter selected by the selecting unit. The determination filter includes a plurality of determination filters in which a number of pixels to be used in the sub-scanning direction differs.
