  • Publication number: 20170068969
    Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable medium stores an association program causing a computer to function as: an extracting unit that extracts a person, a container, and a product from an image captured by a camera; a first specification unit that specifies a movement of the product being transferred into or from the container; and an association unit that associates a person who has a predetermined relationship with the container into or from which the product is transferred in a case where the first specification unit specifies the movement of the product being transferred into or from the container.

  • Patent number: 9465986
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a reading unit, a recognition unit, a table-of-contents analysis unit, a main-body analysis unit, and a creation unit. The reading unit reads a table of contents page and a main body page as images. The recognition unit performs character recognition on the images of the table of contents and main body pages. The table-of-contents analysis unit analyzes the image of the table of contents page, and acquires at least a heading item in accordance with a result of character recognition. The main-body analysis unit analyzes the image of the main body page, and associates an image including the heading item with the heading item in accordance with a result of character recognition. The creation unit creates electronic bookmarked information in which bookmark information for associating the heading item with the image of the main body page is added to electronic information of the read images.

  • Patent number: 8897594
    Abstract: An image reader includes a reading unit that reads an image; a detection unit that detects marks from the read image read by the reading unit; a creation unit that creates a hiding image, which hides a region including the marks, on the basis of the marks detected by the detection unit; and a combining unit that combines the read image and the hiding image to create an electronic document.

  • Patent number: 8792723
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes: a noise position information obtaining unit that obtains noise position information regarding positions of noise in an image read by a reading unit that optically reads a surface of a medium, an image generating unit that generates a noise eliminated image that is obtained by eliminating a noise from the image, a pattern information obtaining unit that obtains pattern information indicating a pattern appearing on the surface of the medium from the noise eliminated image, and a pattern information registering unit that registers the pattern information obtained from areas set on the basis of the noise position information in the noise eliminated image.

  • Patent number: 8693071
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes an acceptance unit that accepts an image of an original from an image reader having a conveying unit that conveys an original in sequence along a conveying path passing through a read position and an image read unit that reads the image of the original at the read position at read speed responsive to conveying speed of the original; an acquisition unit that acquires information concerning a stable read range in which the read speed in the conveying direction in the original becomes a stable state from storage in which the information is previously stored; and a registration unit that extracts feature information concerning a microscopic pattern that a surface of the original has from a registration area in the image of the original accepted by the acceptance unit and registers the feature information in association with position information concerning a position of the registration area.

  • Patent number: 8634116
    Abstract: An image reading device includes a reading unit, a first correcting unit, and a second correcting unit. The reading unit includes multiple read pixel-arrays and converts a signal charge obtained from pixels in each read pixel-array to an electric signal and outputs the electric signal as a read signal of each read pixel-array. The first correcting unit individually delays the read signals of the respective read pixel-arrays output from the reading unit so as to correct misregistration of the read signals. The second correcting unit corrects the misregistration of the read signals of the respective read pixel-arrays corrected by the first correcting unit by performing a two-point interpolation process so that a correction amount for the read signal of one specific read pixel-array among the multiple read pixel-arrays is not smaller than a correction amount for the read signal or signals of the remaining read pixel-array or pixel-arrays.
