Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes a local maximum point identifying unit, a distribution deriving unit, and a binding position identifying unit. The local maximum point identifying unit is configured to identify positions of local maximum points of densities along a first scanning direction in an input image of a book. The distribution deriving unit is configured to derive a distribution in the first scanning direction of the number of the local maximum point obtained along a second scanning direction perpendicular to the first scanning direction. The binding position identifying unit is configured to identify a binding position in the input image of the book on the basis of a position of a peak in the distribution.
Claims6
An image processing apparatus, comprising:
- a local maximum point identifying unit configured to identify positions of local maximum points of densities along a first scanning direction in an input image of a book;
- a distribution deriving unit configured to derive a distribution in the first scanning direction of the number of the local maximum point obtained along a second scanning direction perpendicular to the first scanning direction;
- and
- a binding position identifying unit configured to identify a binding position in the input image of the book on the basis of a position of a peak in the distribution.
An image scanning apparatus, comprising:
- an image processing apparatus;
- and
- a scanner unit configured to acquire an input image by scanning a book;
- wherein the image processing apparatus comprises:
- a local maximum point identifying unit configured to identify positions of local maximum points of densities along a first scanning direction in the input image;
- a distribution deriving unit configured to derive a distribution in the first scanning direction of the number of the local maximum point obtained along a second scanning direction perpendicular to the first scanning direction;
- and
- a binding position identifying unit configured to identify a binding position in the input image on the basis of a position of a peak in the distribution.
