    摘要: An image processing apparatus includes an invisible light source configured to emit invisible light to a subject, a visible light source configured to emit visible light to the subject, an invisible image reading sensor configured to read invisible reflection light reflected from the subject and acquire an invisible image, and a visible image reading sensor configured to read visible reflection light reflected from the subject and acquire a visible image. The invisible reflection light is a part of the invisible light emitted from the invisible light source. The visible reflection light is a part of the visible light emitted from the visible light source. The image processing apparatus further includes circuitry configured to restore information lost in the invisible image acquired by the invisible image reading sensor.

    摘要: A reading device includes a first light source, a second light source, a first reading unit, a second reading unit, a comparison unit, and a correction unit. The first source irradiates an object to be read, with first light having a first transmittance to the object. The second source irradiates the object with second light having a second transmittance to the object. The first reading unit reads the first light from the object to output first image data. The second reading unit reads the second light from the object to output second image data. The comparison unit compares a data difference between the first and second image data. In a case where the data difference is equal to or larger than a threshold, the correction unit corrects data of an image area having the data difference equal to or larger than the threshold in the first or second image data.

    摘要: A reading device includes a first light source configured to emit light, a second light source configured to emit light in a wavelength of light different from a wavelength of light of the first light source, circuitry configured to instruct the first light source and the second light source to turn on and turn off, a first light-intensity adjuster configured to adjust light intensity of the first light source based on a first light intensity value, a second light-intensity adjuster configured to adjust light intensity of the second light source based on a second light intensity value, a first image sensor configured to receive the light that is emitted from the first light source and is reflected by an object, and a second image sensor configured to receive the light that is emitted from the first light source and the second light source and is reflected by the object.
