Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes an image reading unit 3 that reads a front side image and a rear side image from a front side and a rear side of a medium, respectively, a mark detecting unit 42 that detects a combination instruction mark present in a predetermined position of at least one of the front side image and the rear side image, and an image combining unit 44 that combines, when the combination instruction mark is detected, a front side sliced image and a rear side sliced image sliced from predetermined positions of the front side image and the rear side image in a predetermined direction to obtain one image.
Claims19
An image processing apparatus, comprising:
- an image reading unit reading a front side image and a rear side image from a front side and a rear side of a medium, respectively;
- a mark detecting unit detecting a combination instruction mark present in a predetermined position of at least one of the front side image and the rear side image;
- and
- an image combining unit combining a front side sliced image and a rear side sliced image sliced from predetermined positions of the front side image and the rear side image in a predetermined direction to obtain one image when the combination instruction mark is detected.
An image processing method, comprising:
- reading a front side image and a rear side image from a front side and a rear side of a medium, respectively;
- detecting a combination instruction mark present in a predetermined position of at least one of the front side image and the rear side image;
- and
- combining a front side sliced image and a rear side sliced image sliced from predetermined positions of the front side image and the rear side image to obtain one image when the combination instruction mark is detected.
A carrier sheet, comprising:
- two sheets having a rectangular shape and holding paper between the two sheets,
- wherein at least each one side of the two sheets are fixed to each other,
- wherein each of the two sheets comprises:
- at least one of a vertical reference line defining a position of a reference in a conveyance direction or a horizontal reference line being orthogonal to the vertical reference line and defining a reference in a direction orthogonal to the conveyance direction;
- an original area including an area which is colorless and transparent and an outer side surface of which is matted, with at least one side thereof defined by the vertical reference line or the horizontal reference line;
- and
- a frame area including a nontransparent area with at least one side thereof defined by the vertical reference line or the horizontal reference line, and
- wherein at least one of the two sheets comprises a combination instruction mark drawn in the frame area.
