An image processing apparatus includes a unit that acquires image data of a target image which is a target of image processing, a unit that acquires a display image showing a target image state, and a unit that performs image processing corresponding to the target image state with respect to the image data of the target image, based on the acquired display image.

A control portion performs a predetermined detection process on a first image from a first reading portion and a second image from a second reading portion. When the detection process on the each image is successful, the control portion performs, based on a value of an image processing variable specified from a detection result, predetermined image processing on the each image, When the detection process on the image of one side fails, a value of an image processing variable for the image of one side is specified based on a value of an image processing variable specified from the detection result for the image of the other side for which detection is successful. Based on the specified value of the image processing variable, image processing is performed on the image of one side.

In example implementations, an apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a video camera, a detection device, a tracking device, a display, and a processor. The video camera is to capture a video image of a plurality of documents. The detection device is to detect the plurality of documents in a frame of the video image. The tracking device is to track each one of the plurality of documents that is detected in a series of frames of the video image. The display is to generate a visual indicator around each one of the plurality of documents in the video image that is displayed. The processor is in communication with the video camera, the detection device, the tracking device, and the display to control execution of the video camera, the detection device, the tracking device, and the display.

An image reading apparatus includes a document table, a first generating section, a first assigning section, a second generating section, a second assigning section, and a relating section. The first generating section generates a plurality of first image data pieces representing respective first side images of a plurality of documents. The first assigning section assigns first symbols to the respective first image data pieces based on a reference position of the document table. The second generating section generates a plurality of second image data pieces representing respective second side images of the plurality of documents. The second assigning section assigns second symbols to the respective second image data pieces based on the reference position. The relating section relates the first image data pieces to the respective second image data pieces based on the first symbols and the second symbols.

An image test apparatus includes an image reader which reads paper on which an image is formed from an image formed surface side to acquire test image data including an entire region of the paper, and a hardware processor which detects a defect in the test image data by comparing the test image data acquired by the image reader with correct image data, the hardware processor detecting a defect in the test image data in a region where the test image data overlaps with the correct image data after aligning positions of the test image data and the correct image data by aligning positions of images to each other.

A device and algorithm for allowing a customer to choose a photo book cover template that is compatible with a photo having faces. The photo is compared with a set of templates arranged in a first order to determine how compatible the photo is to each of the templates, and a score indicative of compatibility is assigned. A re-sorted set of compatible templates combined with the photo is presented to the customer for consideration.

A method of processing image data includes: capturing an image with a camera; selecting one or more regions of interest within the captured image; analyzing the selected regions of interest to detect objects appearing therein, such that each detected object has a bounding therearound defining an image crop; for each image crop, iteratively compressing image data corresponding thereto, while varying one or more parameters with each successive iteration, until the compressed image data meets a target size; and transmitting the compressed image data meeting the target size over a wireless telecommunications link having a data rate limit imposed for such transmitting.

Provided is an image processing apparatus for improving efficiency of a clipping process. The image processing unit is an image processing apparatus for a raster image processor (RIP) mounted in an image forming apparatus. An order acquiring unit acquires instructions for image processing. A determination unit, in a case where clipping is set according to the instructions acquired by the order acquiring unit, determines whether that clipping is to be in an inclusive mode or an exclusive mode, and in a case of the exclusive mode, calculates pixels that are to be protected in a frame for which image processing is to be performed, and sets a number of pixels necessary for a clipping process. A clip processing unit, in the inclusive mode, in a case where a shape unit for which clipping is to be performed is a rectangle, performs clipping by evaluating a clipping area that includes the shape unit and a frame for which image processing is to be performed, and setting a different frame; and in a case where the shape unit is a trapezoid or a scan line, performs clipping by evaluating a positional relationship between the frame and a line being processed, and setting a different line; and in the exclusive mode, performs clipping by setting a number of pixels calculated by the determination unit without setting a different line, and performing evaluation of the clipping area and each line.

The present invention provides an image reading apparatus including: a scanner that scans originals by a batch-scan that are placed on an original table; an original reading circuitry that reads an image of each of the scanned originals, and control circuitry, wherein the control circuitry executes a continuous multi-crop process according to a selection by a user, and when the continuous multi-crop process is executed, the control circuitry displays on the display one operation key that receives an instruction to start the next scan and another operation key that receives an instruction to end the reading respectively every time each batch-scan is executed to enable the batch-scan to be repeatedly executed until receiving the instruction to end the reading, and handles the images of the originals read by the repeated batch-scans as a series of image data.

In accordance with an embodiment, an image processing apparatus includes an image reading section configured to read an original document and generate image data, the image data corresponding to the original document or a part of the original document. The image processing apparatus further includes a control panel including a document area for displaying a plurality of images, the plurality of images including an image which corresponds to the image data. The control panel is configured to receive input designating the image corresponding to the image data and at least one other image from the plurality of images. The image processing apparatus also includes a controller, which in response to an instruction, generates an aggregation image including the image corresponding to the image data and the at least one other image from the plurality of images.
