An image processing apparatus for photographing a user includes a photographing device configured to photograph the user to generate a photographed image; a display device configured to display a selection screen that is a screen with which the user selects one of a plurality of trimming ranges, the trimming range being a range of trimming a part of the photographed image generated by the photographing device; an instruction receiving device configured to receive selection of the trimming range on the selection screen; and a trimming processor configured to perform a trimming process on the photographed image generated by the photographing device based on the trimming range selected with the instruction receiving device.

An information processing system includes a processor configured to: make an attempt to acquire, from recording medium images obtained by reading a plurality of recording media, target content information recorded on each of the plurality of recording media; and among the plurality of recording media, output information about an erroneous recording medium, the erroneous recording medium being (a) a recording medium of which the attempted acquisition of the target content information has been unsuccessful or (b) a recording medium of which the target content information acquired by the attempted acquisition does not satisfy a predetermined condition.

Provided is a printing apparatus including a cassette configured to be capable of managing a stored paper-sheet by using paper-sheet size information and paper-sheet attribute data, in which an adjustment value of a print position is registered to copied paper-sheet attribute data if an event in which the adjustment value is registered to paper-sheet attribute data in which the paper-sheet size information is not set occurs.

An image processing apparatus includes a painting section and an extraction section. The painting section performs painting on a margin at an end part of an image. The extraction section extracts a document included in the image on which the painting is performed by the painting section.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for generating, based on a portrait image, a foreground image mask to indicate foreground pixels of the portrait image; identifying a percentage of white or near white pixels in the foreground by using the foreground image mask and pixel colors in the portrait image; determining whether the percentage of white or near white pixels in the foreground is larger than a predefined threshold; in response to determining, triggering identification of edge pixels in a background of the portrait image; adjusting white background pixels to add shadows by darkening the white background pixels; and adjusting the white or near white pixels in the foreground by darkening the white or near white pixels.

An image forming method includes: determining a number of copies; obtaining an original image including an object of a paper piece; detecting a paper piece size, the paper piece size being a size of the object of the paper piece included in the original image; clipping the object of the paper piece having the paper piece size from the original image to generate a paper piece image; and arranging the paper piece images of the number of copies on a printable area of one or more pages based on a printable size and the paper piece size and add a guide image to generate a reconfigured image, the printable size being a size of the printable area, the guide image being an image of a guide for dividing the paper piece images of the number of copies.

The present invention provides a technique capable of obtaining image data without a missing part even in a case where a business form is not rectangular. An image reading device including a reading unit which reads an image of a business form, the image reading device includes a skew angle calculation unit which calculates a skew angle used for correcting inclination of the business form according to image data of the image read by the reading unit, a circumscribed region detection unit which generates an image after a first skew correction obtained by rotating the image according to the skew angle, scans the generated image after the first skew correction, and thus detects a circumscribed quadrangle circumscribed around the image of the business form and included in the image after the first skew correction, and an image cutout unit which cuts out a business-form image after cutout from the image read by the reading unit, according to coordinates of four corner points of the circumscribed quadrangle.

At the time of registering an image in units of documents, which is obtained by performing multi-cropping processing for a scanned image, and value information extracted from each image in a database in association with each other, there is a case where it is not possible to extract the value information successfully because of an overlap between documents during a scan. In a case where this fact is noticed after registration, it becomes necessary for a user to perform the entire work from the beginning. In a case where there is a possibility that the value information is hidden by an overlap between documents during a scan or the like, a display is produced for prompting a user to scan the document again.

An image processing apparatus includes circuitry that estimates a first geometric transformation parameter for aligning first output image data with the original image data, the first output image data being acquired by reading a first output result, and a second geometric transformation parameter for aligning second output image data with the original image data, the second output image data being acquired by reading a second output result; associates, based on the first and the second geometric transformation parameters, combinations of color components of the first and the second output image data, corresponding to pixels of the original image data, to generate pixel value association data; determines, based on the pixel value association data, a mapping for estimating color drift between the first output image data and the second output image data from the original image data; and subjects the original image data to color conversion based on the mapping.

An image processing device includes a classification unit that classifies a plurality of a first document image or a plurality of a second document image in accordance with an arrangement of documents, and a generation unit that generates an image in accordance with a result of the classification.
