  • Patent number: 11496647
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to convert the values of pixels in a glossy region of process target image data by inputting the process target image data to a first learning unit that has been trained using, as first learning data, first read image data and second read image data so as to convert the first read image data into the second read image data. The glossy region corresponds to a glossy portion of a document. The first read image data include the glossy region, and are obtained by optically reading the document in a first reading environment in which the light amount of regularly reflected light from a learning data document acquired by an image sensor is less than a regularly reflected light amount threshold.
