Abstract: The present invention provides an image reading apparatus including: a scanner that scans originals by a batch-scan that are placed on an original table; an original reading circuitry that reads an image of each of the scanned originals, and control circuitry, wherein the control circuitry executes a continuous multi-crop process according to a selection by a user, and when the continuous multi-crop process is executed, the control circuitry displays on the display one operation key that receives an instruction to start the next scan and another operation key that receives an instruction to end the reading respectively every time each batch-scan is executed to enable the batch-scan to be repeatedly executed until receiving the instruction to end the reading, and handles the images of the originals read by the repeated batch-scans as a series of image data.

Abstract: Provided is an information processing apparatus capable of combining the addition of a plurality of items in an original file in various forms, and outputting the file. A storage unit correlates additional content identification information for identifying additional content that is content added to the original file or content after change; additional content manager information for identifying a manager of the additional content; and add location identification information for identifying a location where the additional content is to be provided in the original file with the additional content and stores the information. A control unit provides the additional content that is extracted from a file other than the original file based on the additional content identification information, or that is acquired from the manager based on the additional content manager information to the original file based on the add location identification information, and causes the file to be outputted as the output target file.

Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a processor and a memory on which is stored machine readable instructions executable by the processor to detect edges of a scanned object image. The instructions may also cause the processor to determine, based on the detected edges, that a feed skew has occurred on the scanned object image. In addition, based on a determination that the feed skew has occurred, the instructions may cause the processor to identify curved edges of the scanned object image, de-curve the identified curved edges through horizontal scanline scaling of the scanned object image to form a de-curved image, and produce a corrected image through vertical scanline scaling of the de-curved image.

Abstract: An image generation device includes: at least one memory storing a set of instructions; and at least one processor configured to execute the set of instructions to: select a second face image from a plurality of face images stored in advance based on directions of faces included in the plurality of face images and a direction of a face included in an input first face image; deform the second face image based on feature points of the face included in the first face image and feature points of a face included in the second face image such that a face region of the second face image matches a face region of the first face image; and generate a third face image in which the face region of the first face image is synthesized with a region other than the face region of the deformed second face image.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes circuitry to: obtain a read image read from an image of a document output from an image reading device; detect an edge between a background area and a document area in the read image; sample a detection result of the edge at each first interval in a first direction to extract a first boundary point group including a plurality of boundary points; sample the detection result of the edge at each second interval in the first direction to extract a second boundary point group including a plurality of boundary points; determine a noise removal condition based on the first boundary point group; remove, from the second boundary point group, a boundary point satisfying the noise removal condition as noise; and calculate a linear equation approximating the second boundary point group from which the noise is removed.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus is an image processing apparatus that performs image processing on first image information of a target first image. The image processing apparatus has a controller and a first storage device which stores second image information of a second image. The controller reads the second image information stored in the first storage device, changes a resolution of the read second image information to a first resolution which is the same as a resolution of the first image information, and combines the first image information and the second image information based on the first image information and the second image information of which resolution is changed to the first resolution.

Abstract: Techniques are described for dynamically correcting image distortion during imaging of a patterned sample having repeating spots. Different sets of image distortion correction coefficients may be calculated for different regions of a sample during a first imaging cycle of a multicycle imaging run and subsequently applied in real time to image data generated during subsequent cycles. In one implementation, image distortion correction coefficients may be calculated for an image of a patterned sample having repeated spots by: estimating an affine transform of the image; sharpening the image; and iteratively searching for an optimal set of distortion correction coefficients for the sharpened image, where iteratively searching for the optimal set of distortion correction coefficients for the sharpened image includes calculating a mean chastity for spot locations in the image, and where the estimated affine transform is applied during each iteration of the search.

Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, in an image processing apparatus which includes an arithmetic element and executes an image processing on a first image data read by a scanner from a manuscript including a printing area, the arithmetic element acquires the first image data from the scanner, generates second image data by executing an image processing on the first image data, recognizes the printing area in the first image data based on the second image data, and cuts out an image in the printing area from the first image data as a third image data.
