Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a setting unit, a detector and a controller. The setting unit sets setting information associating a registered image obtained by reading an image with control information indicating whether input image data is to be stored or not. The detector detects the registered image from the input image data. The controller controls whether or not the input image data including the registered image is stored in a storage based on the setting information.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus comprises a memory configured to store a scanned image obtained by scanning a document placement area, and a processor configured to detect an image of each original document from the scanned image, specify a placement state of each original document, and generate data in a data format corresponding to the placement state of each original document in the image.

Abstract: An image reading device includes a document placing table, and a cover. The cover is rotatably attached to the document placing table, and includes a receptacle for a portable terminal with a camera, the receptacle being configured to hold the portable terminal so that the camera faces the document placing table.

Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, an image forming apparatus comprises a reading section, an image processing section and a printing section. The reading section reads an image on a sheet to generate image data. The image processing section detects, from the image data, an identification image indicating that printing is carried out with decolorable toner, and decolors the detected identification image from the image data. The printing section prints the image data output from the image processing section.

Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, an image forming apparatus comprises a reading section, a gradation conversion section and an image processing section. The reading section positioned at a back surface of a sheet which is a reading object is provided with a back surface part having a predetermined color at the back surface side of the sheet to read at least one surface of the sheet by using the back surface part as a background. The gradation conversion section executes a gradation conversion processing of enlarging a level difference in brightness at a highlight side on image data read by the reading section. The image processing section identifies an area of the sheet part and an area of the back surface part in the image data based on the image data to which the gradation conversion processing is executed.

Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, an image processing apparatus comprises a front surface reading section, a back surface reading section, a back surface image processing section and a front surface image processing section. The front surface reading section reads a range containing a front surface of a sheet. The back surface reading section reads a range containing a back surface of the sheet. The back surface image processing section detects a position of a sheet part in back surface image data based on the back surface image data obtained by reading the sheet back surface. The front surface image processing section extracts an image on the sheet part from front surface image data obtained by reading the sheet front surface based on the position of the sheet part in the back surface image data.
