Abstract
A digital camera which performs accurate document reading, and is used in a document processing system. In the document processing system, a document is divided into blocks and each block is sensed by a CCD, and perspective correction is performed on the image data of each of a plurality of images obtained by divisionally sensing the document. An OCR process is performed on the corrected image data to convert the corrected image data to text data. The converted text data, corresponding to the image data of each of the plurality of images, is combined into one text data, and the combined text data is output for printing.
Claims15
A digital camera including image sensing means for sensing an object comprising:
- display means adapted to display a plurality of division patterns, each being selectively used for dividing an image of the object into a plurality of block images;
- converting means for performing an OCR process on image data corresponding to each of the plurality of block images sensed by said image sensing means so as to convert the image data to text data;
- and
- combining means for combining the text data converted by said converting means, which corresponds to the image data of each of the plurality of block images, into one entire text data, taking into consideration an adjacent or overlapping portion in the plurality of block images.
A digital camera including image sensing means for sensing an object, comprising:
- display means adapted to display a division pattern used for dividing an image of the object into a plurality of block images, and displaying a sensing sequence for each block included in the division pattern;
- converting means for performing an OCR process on image data corresponding to each of the plurality of block images sensed by said image sensing means based on the division pattern so as to convert the image data to text data;
- and
- combining means for combining the text data converted by said converting means, which corresponds to the image data of each of the plurality of block images, into one text data,
- wherein said display means displays a sensing sequence number upon sensing the object based on the division pattern.
