Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes an image reception unit, a determination unit, a display unit, a correction accepting unit and a criterion modifying unit. The image reception unit receives a plurality of images. The determination unit determines whether each image received by the image reception unit corresponds to a separator image that represents a separator of a document based on a criterion and outputs a detection result. The display unit displays the detection result output by the determination unit. The correction accepting unit accepts correction of the displayed detection result in accordance with an operation performed by a user. The criterion modifying unit modifies the criterion based on the accepted correction. The determination unit re-determines whether each image received by the image reception unit corresponds to the separator image based on the criterion after the criterion is modified by the criterion modifying unit.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a controller programmed to receive image data and also receive, from a user, an input number of separators included in the received image data. The controller detects a number of times a separator is included in the received image data based on criteria for detecting the separator, and determines, based on the detected number of times and the input number of separators, whether the criteria needs to be modified. In response to determining that the criteria needs to be modified, the controller modifies the criteria for detecting the separator and repeats detection of a number of times the separator is included in the received image data based on the modified criteria for detecting the separator.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes an image accepting module, a number accepting module, a discriminating module and a criterion modifying module. The image accepting module receives image data of plural images. The number accepting module receives the number of images delimiting the received images. The number is input by a user. The discriminating module determines whether or not each of the received images corresponds to the images delimiting the received images based on a criterion. The criterion modifying module changes the criterion when the number of images determined as an image corresponding to the images delimiting the received images is not in a given relationship with the received number. The discriminating module determines, after the criterion is changed, whether or not each of the received images corresponds to the images delimiting the received images based on the modified criterion.
