Abstract
An image processing apparatus that eliminates a complicated operation when a document image is input. The apparatus has an image input device for inputting a document image. A detection device detects displacement of the document image input by the input device. A determination device determines the input conditions of the image input device when the displacement detected by the detection device is not greater than a predetermined value. A control device controls the input device based on the input conditions determined by the determination device so as to cause the input device to input the document image.
Claims33
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- image input means for detecting a document and for inputting a document image in accordance with input conditions of said image input means;
- detection means for detecting displacement of the document detected by said image input means for a predetermined period of time;
- determination means for determining when the displacement of the document detected by said detection means for the predetermined period of time is not greater than a predetermined value, and for determining input conditions of said image input means when the displacement detected by said detection means is not greater than the predetermined value;
- and
- control means for controlling said image input means to input the document image in accordance with the input conditions determined by said determination means when said determination means determines that the displacement of the document detected by said detection means for the predetermined period of time is not greater than the predetermined value.
