    Abstract: An image capturing system includes an image capturing unit configured to photograph the medium on a medium installation face, a lighting configured to irradiate the medium installation face, a lighting control unit configured to control the lighting, and a non-readable area determining unit configured to determine whether there is a non-readable area from which the image capturing unit is unable to read information of the medium due to reflected light of the lighting. The non-readable area is determined based on an image acquired by photographing the medium in a turned-on state of the lighting. When the non-readable area determining unit determines that there is the non-readable area, the medium is photographed in different lighting states set by the lighting control unit, and among the image data generated in photographing process, image data corresponding to the medium is generated by synthesizing areas except an area corresponding to the non-readable area.

    Abstract: Provided are an image processing apparatus, a control method, and a control program for further shortening the time required for recognition processing. An image processing apparatus includes, an operation module, a display module, an imaging module to successively generate an input image, an evaluation point calculation module to calculate, for each of the successively generated input images, an evaluation point for each of a plurality of character candidates for a character in each input image, and a character recognition module to recognize, when a character candidate whose degree of certainty based on the plurality of evaluation points calculated for each of the successively generated input images is equal to or greater than a threshold value is present, the character candidate as a character in the input image. The character recognition module terminates processing of calculating the evaluation point, even when a character candidate having the degree of certainty equal to or greater than the threshold value is not present, in a case where a predetermined condition is satisfied since processing of calculating the evaluation point starts, displays, on the display module, the plurality of character candidates in order based on the evaluation point, and sets, when one of character candidates displayed on the display module is designated by a user with the operation module, the designated character candidate as a character in the input image.
