摘要： Character code data and vector drawing data are both listed and provided in a re-editable manner. Electronic data is generated in which information obtained by vectorizing character areas in an image and information obtained by recognizing characters in the image are stored in respective storage locations. As for the electronic data generated in this manner, because character code data and vector drawing data generated from the input image are both presented by a display and edit program, a user can immediately utilize the both data.

摘要： In an electronic document of drawing descriptions of a page image and a character, it is desired that although a font data necessary for drawing the character is held in the electronic document, the size of the electronic document is minimized. Furthermore, it is desired to ensure visibility at the time of highlighting of search. There is generated an electronic document in which a document image, a plurality of character codes obtained by executing a character recognition processing with respect to the document image, and a plurality of kinds of glyph data to be utilized in common with respect to the plurality of character codes when drawing characters corresponding to the plurality of character codes are stored. The plurality of kinds of glyph data are selectively used when characters corresponding to the character codes are drawn. It is desirable that the glyph data be the one in a simple form.

摘要： The invention significantly improves operability by automatically discriminating a plurality of image orientations, which are not assured of always being fed in common orientations, and reduces possible burdens to operators by eliminating efforts required to arrange the images in a common orientation before feeding or to correct each orientations into a common orientation after feeding. The invention improves the operability also by enabling modes in which orientation discrimination as well as tilt corrections can be performed before operator's instructions, if the Auto mode has been specified for the orientation recognition function. The invention also improves accuracy of processing by determining whether orientations or tilt recognition is proper and providing the result to the operators.

摘要： A document processing apparatus for segmenting a color document image into regions obtains a binary image by binarizing a color image, and extracts regions having different background colors from the color image to generate region information indicating the position and size of each extracted region. By making region segmentation on the basis of the binary image and region information, a region segmentation result that reflects the background colors can be obtained. In this way, region segmentation which can maintain region differences expressed by colors in a color document can be implemented.

摘要： Image processing by which both of high compressibility and high image quality are achieved, and in which characters in character regions and graphics in graphic regions are vectorized. If a pixel of a character in a character region overlaps with a graphic in a graphic region, graphic region vectorization is performed first, whereas if a pixel of a character in the character region does not overlap with a graphic in the graphic region, character region vectorization is performed first.

摘要： A region division portion extracts an “object”, an “anchor expression accompanying the object” and a “text including the anchor expression” from image data based on a paper document and an electronic document. A link processing portion generates link information that associates, in two ways, the “object”, the “anchor expression included in the text” or the “text including the anchor expression” with each other. Then, a format conversion portion converts the link information into electronic document data including two-way link information. When this electronic document data is displayed by an application and one of the “object” and the “anchor expression included in the text” is selected, the other can be displayed according to the link information.
