PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide highly accurate layout analytic processing by identifying an area in an original image, identifying the area in the original image again corresponding to information provided from an object to be recognized for each area defined by identification and performing recognizing processing for each area identified again. SOLUTION: A business card is read by a scanner and original image data are generated (S1). Character segmenting processing of the original image is performed. As layout analytic processing included in this character segmenting processing, area identifying processing of the original image data is performed (S2). It is discriminated whether each area defined by this area identifying processing is matched to prescribed merge conditions or not (S3). After discriminating processing is performed for each area, areas matched to the conditions are merged (S4). After merging processing, concerning each area defined again, character recognizing processing of the object to be recognized is executed (S5). As information corresponding to the respective items of a data base, the recognized result provided by character recognizing processing is registered (S6). |
