Image processing apparatus, image processing method, medium, code reading apparatus, and program

摘要

An image processing apparatus includes first and second synthesizing sections and an outputting section. The first synthesizing section synthesizes a code image with a part of an original image. The code image has a size smaller than that of the original image. The second synthesizing section synthesizes a marker image with another part of the original image outside the code image. The outputting section outputs a synthesized image in which the original image, the code image and the marker image are synthesized. The marker image includes a first region colored with a first color and a second region colored with a second color different from the first color. At least a part of the second region is in contact with the first region. The marker image is used to correct slant of the code image when decoding the code image.
