Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a reception unit, an acquisition unit, an enlarging/reducing unit, and a detector. The reception unit receives two image data to be compared. The acquisition unit acquires character sizes of characters contained in the two image data received by the reception unit. The enlarging/reducing unit enlarges or reduces the image data received by the reception unit such that the character sizes of the characters contained in the two image data acquired by the acquisition unit coincide with each other. The detector detects a difference between the two image data which have been enlarged or reduced by the enlarging/reducing unit such that the character sizes of the characters contained in the two image data coincide with each other.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit that acquires image information of an image of an original document, a recognition unit that recognizes from the image information acquired by the acquisition unit each of plural entry items and an entry remark written differently from the plural entry items, included in the image, and an associating unit that associates the entry remark with one of the entry items in accordance with a relationship between a location of the entry items recognized by the recognition unit and a location of the entry remark.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes an acquiring unit, an extraction unit, and a selection unit. The acquiring unit acquires, for multiple documents, candidates for elements representing characteristics of each of the multiple documents. The extraction unit extracts, from the candidates acquired by the acquiring unit, common elements common to two or more of the multiple documents. The selection unit extracts, from the multiple documents, a document including two or more common elements among the common elements, and determines the two or more common elements included in the extracted document to be elements representing characteristics of the document.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a first acquiring unit, an addition unit, a second acquiring unit, and an extraction unit. The first acquiring unit acquires a first group of elements included in a first image generated by reading a document. The addition unit generates multiple second images by adding noises that differ from each other to the first image. The second acquiring unit acquires second groups of elements included in the respective multiple second images. The extraction unit extracts an element representing characteristics of the document from the first group of elements in accordance with the degrees of similarity between elements included in the first group of elements and elements included in the multiple second groups of elements.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a recognition unit. The recognition unit has image recognition methods of plural types. The recognition unit recognizes, in a case where image data of a first document and image data of a second document are generated by a generation unit that reads a document and generates image data of the document, the type of the first document from the image data of the first document and recognizing the type of the second document from the image data of the second document using an image recognition method corresponding to the type of the first document among the image recognition methods of the plural types, the first document and the second document being included in plural documents.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a difference detector that detects a difference between two images according to a set detection condition, a receiving unit that receives the two images as comparison targets and a target difference image that is desirable in difference detection of the two images, and a setting unit that selects a detection condition from predetermined detection conditions and sets the selected detection condition in the difference detector, the selected detection condition causing a difference image that is acquired by the difference detector from the two images received by the receiving unit to be closer to the target difference image.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a receiving unit, a detecting unit, and a generating unit. The receiving unit receives two pieces of image data to be compared with each other. The detecting unit detects the difference between the two pieces of image data received by the receiving unit. If a drawing element in the image data where the difference is detected by the detecting unit is dense with modified parts to such an extent that it is estimated to be difficult to identify the content of modification in the display of the difference, the generating unit generates difference image data indicating the difference between the two pieces of image data for comparison by adding an auxiliary image to highlight the content of the detected difference.
