    摘要: When the content of a paper document is aiming to be recognized in an apparatus that has a scanner, an image of the paper document is subjected to region segmentation processing immediately after the paper document is read, and a recognition operation to be performed on each segmented region is specified by an operator on the basis of the result of the region segmentation processing. Therefore, a recognition method to be performed on each recognition target item can be selected from among recognition by using a recognition service server, recognition by downloading a program module from a program server, and recognition by using a locally-stored program module. As a result, recognition processing can be performed more efficiently.

    摘要: When a region obtained by predetermined region division processing is a character image, the image is converted at one of predetermined compression ratios (S505). Data in a certain information amount that the region has as pixel data after image conversion is subjected to character recognition, and the degree of similarity (score) to character types registered in advance is calculated (S506). If the calculated score is equal to or smaller than a predetermined threshold value, the information amount is smaller than a minimum information amount necessary for reconstruction of the character image contained in the region. The character image is converted at a compression ratio lower than that in S505 by one step (S507-S509).

    摘要: According to the present invention, it is possible to create electronic document data capable of highlighting an object detected through a search so that a user can easily recognize it. An image processing apparatus extracts an object from an input image and extracts metadata related to the object. The image processing apparatus, when determines to describe with a shape in accordance with the shape of the object, creates a vector path description of frame described with a shape in accordance with the shape of the object. Then, the image processing apparatus creates an electronic document including data of the input image and the vector path description of frame with which the metadata is associated. When a keyword search is performed on the created electronic document, highlight display is performed in accordance with the vector path description of frame with which metadata that matches the keyword is associated.

    摘要: An image processing apparatus extracts an object area (e.g., character, picture, line drawing, and table) from an input image and acquires a metadata to be associated with the object. The image processing apparatus generates a transparent graphics description for an object area having an attribute that requires generation of the transparent graphics description, and generates an electronic document while associating the transparent graphics description with the metadata. As transparent graphics description, an arbitrary shape of graphics can be used. Accordingly, the image processing apparatus can generate electronic document data suitable for a highlight expression, which is easy for users to recognize in a search operation using a keyword to search an object included in an electronic document.
