Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes a blank page determination unit configured to determine whether a document is a blank page by using image data obtained by reading the document, a color determination unit configured to determine whether the document is polychrome or monochrome, and a decision unit configured to decide on processing of the image data obtained by reading the document by using a determination result of the blank page determination unit and a determination result of the color determination unit.
Claims24
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a blank page determination unit configured to determine whether a document is a blank page, by using image data obtained by reading the document;
- a color determination unit configured to determine whether the document is polychrome or monochrome;
- and
- a decision unit configured to decide processing of the image data obtained by reading the document, by using a determination result of the blank page determination unit and a determination result of the color determination unit.
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a setting unit configured to set processing of image data obtained by reading a document that is a blank page and has a background color other than white;
- a blank page determination unit configured to determine whether the document is a blank page by using the image data obtained by reading the document;
- and
- a color determination unit configured to determine whether the document is polychrome or monochrome,
- wherein, if removal of the image data obtained by reading the document that is the blank page and has the background color other than white is set by the setting unit, the image data obtained by reading the document is removed in a case where the blank page determination unit determines that the document is a blank page and the color determination unit determines that the document is polychrome.
An image processing method comprising:
- performing blank page determination to determine whether a document is a blank page, by using image data obtained by reading the document;
- performing color determination to determine whether the document is polychrome or monochrome;
- and
- deciding processing of image data obtained by reading the document, by using a determination result in the blank page determination and a determination result in the color determination.
An image processing method comprising:
- setting processing of image data obtained by reading a document that is a blank page and has a background color other than white;
- performing blank page determination to determine whether the document is a blank page, by using the image data obtained by reading the document;
- and
- performing color determination to determine whether the document is polychrome or monochrome,
- wherein, when removal of the image data obtained by reading the document that is the blank page and has the background color other than white is set by the setting, the image data obtained by reading the document is removed in a case where the document is determined to be the blank page in the blank page determination and the document is determined to be polychrome in the color determination.
