  • Publication number: 20250140008
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a scanner to read a document and generate first image data of the document and circuitry. The circuitry detects a digit separator line, which is a vertical ruled line that divides a numerical value by one digit or three digits, in the first image data separately from another ruled line, and removes the digit separator line from the first image data.
