<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To keep matching accuracy intact in spite of varying scan speed of a moving document type automatic document feeder (ADF) used in an image processing apparatus for reading images of documents, when registering paper fingerprints by means of the image processing apparatus. <P>SOLUTION: As an ADF moves a document, an image input section 52 scans the document in the feed direction in a reading position to read an image of the document. A paper fingerprint processing section 60 extracts and registers in a storage section 66 feature information on a paper fingerprint from the image within a registration area set in the document. The storage section 66 further stores information indicating a stable scan range of scan speed in the document as precomputed scan speed information. The paper fingerprint processing section 60 restricts the settable range of the registration area within the stable scan range. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
