Abstract:
An image reading device includes a conveying unit, reading unit, detecting unit, and control unit. The conveying unit conveys two sheets of the original one by one. The reading unit reads a sheet passing past a reading position. The detecting unit detects a sheet passing past a detection position upstream of the reading position in a conveying direction. The control unit controls the reading unit to start a reading process when a leading edge of sheet reaching a position upstream of the reading position by a first distance, controls the reading unit to stop the reading process when a trailing edge of sheet reaching a position downstream of the reading position by a second distance, determines an interspace between the trailing edge of sheet and a leading edge of a subsequently-conveyed sheet, and updates the first distance and the second distance based on the interspace.
Abstract:
An image processing apparatus is provided which includes a reading unit configured to read image data of a double-page original having a binding part, an output unit configured to generate output based on the image data, and a processing unit. The processing unit is configured to identify and remove shadow data corresponding to a portion of a shadow area in the image data, determine whether two-dimensional code data is included in the image data, and control the removal of the shadow data in the image data when the two-dimensional code data is included in the image data.
Abstract:
An image processor reads an image from an original, divides the image into a plurality of blocks, and performs a determination process on each block. Through the determination process, a block is classified as a first color block or second color block. The image processor classifies the original as a color image when a number of first color blocks reach a prescribed number before the determination processes for all of the plurality of blocks have been completed. The image processor classifies the original as the color image when a number of first color blocks determined through the determination processes for all of the plurality of blocks is fewer than the prescribed number and a color ratio is greater than a prescribed ratio. The color ratio is the sum of the number of the first color blocks and the number of the second color blocks to the plurality of blocks.
Abstract:
An image scanning device is provided with a scanning unit configured to scan an original with a second resolution which corresponding to a first resolution and output image data thereof, a reduction unit configured to convert a resolution of the image data output by the scanning unit to a third resolution which is lower than the first resolution and the second resolution, a storing unit configured to store the image data converted to have the third resolution by the reduction unit, a magnification varying unit configured to convert the resolution of the image data stored in the storing unit to the first resolution, and an output unit configured to output the image data converted to have the first resolution.
