Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes circuitry configured to recognize a character in an original image by character recognition, to generate a font, calculate a certainty factor of the character recognition, determine a color of the font based on the certainty factor by a first processing method, and determine a replacement color by a second processing method based on the certainty factor, and convert the original image into an editable electronic document including the font and an image in which the character pixel has the replacement color. The replacement color is a color to which a color of a character pixel of the recognized character is replaced.
Claims20
An information processing apparatus comprising circuitry configured to:
- recognize a character in an original image by character recognition to generate a font;
- calculate a certainty factor of the character recognition;
- determine a color of the font based on the certainty factor by a first processing method;
- determine a replacement color by a second processing method based on the certainty factor, the replacement color being a color with which a color of a character pixel is replaced, the character pixel being a pixel of the recognized character;
- and
- convert the original image into an editable electronic document, the editable electronic document including the font and an image in which the character pixel has the replacement color,
- wherein the circuitry is configured to
- receive an input operation, and
- set the first processing method and the second processing method in accordance with the input operation.
A method for converting an image, the method comprising:
- recognizing a character in an original image by character recognition to generate a font;
- calculating a certainty factor of the character recognition;
- determining a color of the font based on the certainty factor by a first processing method;
- determining a replacement color by a second processing method based on the certainty factor, the replacement color being a color with which a color of a character pixel is replaced, the character pixel being a pixel of the recognized character;
- and
- converting the original image into an editable electronic document, the editable electronic document including the font and an image in which the character pixel has the replacement color,
- wherein the method further comprises
- receiving an input operation, and
- setting the first processing method and the second processing method in accordance with the input operation.
A non-transitory recording medium storing a plurality of program codes which, when executed by one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to perform a method, the method comprising:
- recognizing a character in an original image by character recognition to generate a font;
- calculating a certainty factor of the character recognition;
- determining a color of the font based on the certainty factor by a first processing method;
- determining a replacement color by a second processing method based on the certainty factor, the replacement color being a color with which a color of a character pixel is replaced, the character pixel being a pixel of the recognized character;
- and
- converting the original image into an editable electronic document, the editable electronic document including the font and an image in which the character pixel has the replacement color,
- wherein the method further comprises
- receiving an input operation, and
- setting the first processing method and the second processing method in accordance with the input operation.
