  • Publication number: 20130016381
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes an extracting unit that extracts each tablespace image from each page of image data containing plural pages read by a document reading device, a generating unit that generates each table structure data of the tables from each tablespace image extracted by the extracting unit, a discrimination unit that discriminates a connection possibility between the tables based on table structure data of the tables of each page generated by the generating unit, a determination unit that determines a connection sequence for restoring an original table by connecting each of the tables based on the connection possibility between the tables discriminated by the discrimination unit, and a restoring unit that restores data on a single table before division by connecting each of the tables based on the connection sequence determined by the determination unit.

  • Publication number: 20120250107
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a header acquiring part, a table connection determining part, and a table connecting part. The header acquiring part acquires a header from a table, having rows and columns, included in each of plural pieces of image data arranged in a predetermined order. The table connection determining part determines whether the headers acquired from the tables match one another and determines, as a set of tables to be connected, adjacent tables having the matching headers. The table connecting part deletes the header from each of one or more second tables and connects a first table and the one or more second tables to each other in accordance with the predetermined order. The first table is included in a first piece of pieces of image data of the determined set of tables in the predetermined order.

  • Publication number: 20120250078
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes: a structure information acquisition portion that acquires, from a list which is included in each of plural pieces of image data sorted in a predetermined order and is formed of rows and columns, structure information which includes row information including at least the number of the rows of the list and heights of the rows thereof and column information including at least the number of the columns thereof and the widths of the columns thereof; a list connection determination portion that determines, based on the acquired structure information, a set of connected lists among the lists respectively included in the plural pieces of the image data, and a connection direction of the connected lists; and a list connection portion that connects the set of the determined lists in the determined connection direction in an order of the plural pieces of the image data listed.

  • Publication number: 20120063683
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a separating unit, a setting unit, and a determining unit. The separating unit separates an image into types of partial images other than a specific type, which is likely to be erroneously separated. The setting unit makes setting designating whether or not predetermined two types of partial images of the separated partial images are to be easily determined to be partial images of the specific type. The determining unit determines whether or not at least one of the predetermined two types of the partial images is the partial image of the specific type or not based upon the setting.

  • Publication number: 20070263258
    Abstract: An image transmitting apparatus includes an image reading unit that reads image data, a decision unit that decides whether recipient address information included in the image data read by the image reading unit matches recipient address information specified as a destination, a processing unit that processes the recipient address information included in the image data read by the image reading unit, and a transmitting unit that transmits the image data in which the recipient address information has been processed by the processing unit to the specified destination, depending on a result of the decision made by the decision unit.
