Abstract: A document reading device includes an imaging unit that images a document, a placing portion that includes a first placing portion and a second placing portion and that has a placing surface on which the document is placed, the placing surface being formed by the first placing portion and the second placing portion, and a detector that detects an edge of the document that is placed on the placing surface by using a color difference or a luminance difference between the placing surface and the document. An end portion of the first placing portion adjacent to the second placing portion extends toward the second placing portion beyond an end portion of the second placing portion adjacent to the first placing portion.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a medium discharge portion onto which a medium to be taken out by a person with the person standing is discharged, a placement portion that is installed above the medium discharge portion, an object in color that is represented by using a Y-value closer than a value that represents black color to a value that represents white color where the color is represented by using a Y-value that represents luminance in a YCbCr method being placed on the placement portion, an image capturing member that is installed above the placement portion and that captures an image of the object that is placed on the placement portion. Color of an upper portion of the placement portion is represented by using a Y-value closer than the value that represents the white color to the value that represents the black color where the color is represented by using the Y-value that represents the luminance in the YCbCr method such that the object and the placement portion are distinguishable from each other in the image that is captured by the image capturing member.

Abstract: An image reading device includes a single light source that irradiates an image reading target with light, a traveling change member that changes a traveling direction of the light from the light source and irradiates the image reading target with the light at an incidence angle different from an incidence angle of the light directly applied from the light source to the image reading target, and a switching mechanism that switches traveling of the light from the light source to an optical path for directly irradiating the image reading target or an optical path for irradiating the image reading target via the traveling change member.

Abstract: A sheet containing apparatus includes a first container unit that contains a sheet having a first size and that tilts with respect to a horizontal direction such that a first end and a second end in a width direction of the apparatus are located at different heights with the first container unit installed in a sheet containing apparatus body when viewed in a first direction, and a covering portion that is movable to a covering position at which the covering portion covers at least a part of the first container unit in the first direction and an open position at which the covering portion uncovers the first container unit in the first direction. When viewed in the first direction, a tilting division line is adjacent to the first container unit and tilts with respect to the horizontal direction, and at least a whole of the tilting division line is covered by the single covering portion in the first direction with the covering portion positioned at the covering position.

Abstract: An image reading apparatus includes a reading unit that reads a document transported in a second scan direction, a detector unit that detect a position of an edge of the document in a first scan direction crossing the second scan direction, a setting unit that sets a search range of the edge of the document in the first scan direction, the search range including the position of the edge detected by the detector unit, and a search unit that, on image data that the reading unit has read from the document, searches for the position of the edge within the search range of the edge set by the setting unit.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a processor configured to: extract a first target image corresponding to a reading target having a glossy portion and a non-glossy portion from a first read image acquired by optically reading the reading target in a first reading environment, and extract a second target image corresponding to the reading target from a second read image acquired by optically reading the reading target in a second reading environment in which specular light acquired from the reading target by an image sensor is of higher intensity compared to the first reading environment; execute an alignment of the first target image and the second target image if positions of the first and second target images do not coincide with each other and if the first and second target images are alignable by translating or rotating at least one of the first target image or the second target image; and form a composite image by executing a composition process that composites a non-glossy region corresponding to the non-glossy portion extracted from the first target image with a glossy region corresponding to the glossy portion extracted from the second target image.
