Abstract
A reading method guidance apparatus includes a receiving unit, an acquisition unit, and a guidance unit. The receiving unit receives a document size that is a size of a document as a reading target. The acquisition unit acquires an image of at least a partial area in the document. The guidance unit provides an operator with guidance about a reading procedure when the document is read by a first reading apparatus in plural batches, using a feature amount obtained from the acquired image, the received document size, and a readable size that is a size of an area readable by the first reading apparatus.
Claims29
A reading method guidance apparatus comprising:
- a receiving unit that receives a document size that is a size of a document as a reading target;
- an acquisition unit that acquires an image of at least a partial area in the document;
- and
- a guidance unit that provides an operator with guidance about a reading procedure when the document is read by a first reading apparatus in a plurality of batches, using a feature amount obtained from the acquired image, the received document size, and a readable size that is a size of an area readable by the first reading apparatus,
- wherein, after the acquisition unit reads an area having a feature amount change that is less than a predetermined amount, the guidance unit provides the operator with guidance about a next reading so as to include an area having a feature amount change above the predetermined amount.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program that causes a computer to execute a reading method guidance process, the process comprising:
- receiving a document size that is a size of a document as a reading target;
- acquiring an image of at least a partial area in the document;
- and
- providing an operator with guidance about a reading procedure when the document is read by a first reading apparatus in a plurality of batches, using a feature amount obtained from the acquired image, the received document size, and a readable size that is a size of an area readable by the first reading apparatus,
- wherein, after the acquiring reads an area having a feature amount change that is less than a predetermined amount, the providing provides the operator with guidance about a next reading so as to include an area having a feature amount change above the predetermined amount.
An image processing system comprising:
- a reading method guidance apparatus;
- a first reading apparatus;
- and
- an image synthesis apparatus, wherein
- the reading method guidance apparatus includes
- a receiving unit that receives a document size that is a size of a document as a reading target,
- an acquisition unit that acquires an image of at least a partial area in the document, and
- a guidance unit that provides an operator with guidance about a reading procedure when the document is read by the first reading apparatus in a plurality of batches, using a feature amount obtained from the acquired image, the received document size, and a readable size that is a size of an area readable by the first reading apparatus,
- wherein, after the acquisition unit reads an area having a feature amount change that is less than a predetermined amount, the guidance unit provides the operator with guidance about a next reading so as to include an area having a feature amount change above the predetermined amount,
- the first reading apparatus includes a reading unit that reads the document, and
- the image synthesis apparatus includes a synthesis unit that synthesizes a plurality of images read by the first reading apparatus.
