A rectangle creating unit creates a rectangle circumscribing a lesion area in a medical image. A division-number-ratio calculating unit calculates a division-number ratio based on an image aspect ratio of an input image to be input to a device that identifies a lesion and on a rectangle aspect ratio between the length in the vertical direction of and the length in the horizontal direction of the rectangle. A multiplying-factor calculating unit calculates, based on the division-number ratio, a resizing multiplying-factor for each of the vertical direction and the horizontal direction of a rectangular image encircled by the rectangle and including the lesion area. A resizing unit resizes the rectangular image with the resizing multiplying-factor. A dividing unit divides the resized rectangular image into one or more images in such a manner that the size of each divided image matches the size of the input image.

A method of controlling an information processing apparatus includes displaying an edit screen including an obtained image and a print range frame based on obtained print setting information, accepting an edit operation of arrangement of the image in the edit screen, generating image data based on an edited image, and transmitting the generated image data and the print setting information to the image forming apparatus as a print job. Where the image has been edited such that there is a region where the image is not arranged in the print range frame, combining processing in which a predetermined image is added in the region is performed and whereby image data including the image and predetermined image is generated, and where the image has been edited such that there is no region where the image is not arranged in the print range frame, the combining processing is not performed.

The systems and methods presented here completely separate a non-user pattern from the user jobs being printed. In fact, depending on the number of images in the job and the number of patterns provided by the manufacturer or press operator, the patterns may appear on different images of the job each time the job is printed. This is because the image marks are generated and processed according to the configuration of ROUS, independent of the user jobs being printed.

An information processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit that acquires a processed image obtained through image processing, and a generation unit that generates a synthesis image obtained by synthesizing an evidence image, which is an image becoming an evidence of the image processing and including at least information on a fee required for the image processing, with a reduction image obtained by reducing the processed image.

An information processing apparatus sets a color mode in place of a monochrome mode on condition that the monochrome mode and multiplexing of additional information on a print target image are set as print settings based on an input image data; generates, based on the input image data, color image data corresponding to printing in a color mode which represents a color of the monochromated print target image by a value of a color signal; performs, for the color image data generated by the generation unit, processing for multiplexing the additional information on the print target image; and causes a printing apparatus to print, in the color mode, a multiplexed image on which the additional information is multiplexed.

In a method for always displaying a borderless protrusion area, which is an area for achieving borderless printing, when a borderless printing function is used, the display is not necessarily appropriate display depending on the application of the user. Setting for receiving a setting for enabling borderless printing, displaying control for displaying an editing screen including an image as an editing target and a recording medium area, and controlling for, in a case where the borderless printing is set and an operation on the editing screen is received, displaying an object indicating an area for the borderless printing outside the recording medium area on the editing screen, and in a case where the operation on the editing screen is not received, not displaying the object indicating the area for the borderless printing outside the recording medium area on the editing screen are executed.

An image reading apparatus includes a reading unit and a controller. The reading unit reads a first image on a first surface of a sheet and a second image on a second surface of the sheet and generates first and second image data, respectively. The controller determines, based on the first and second image data, whether the first image is at a first edge of the first surface and the second image is at a second edge of the second surface of the sheet. The controller combines the first and second image data into combined image data corresponding to the first and second images if both the first image is at the first edge and the second image is at the second edge. The controller processes the combined image data such that a combined image corresponding to the combined image data has a predetermined size.

An image processing apparatus generates a first image by adjusting luminance so as to preserve a signal value on a high-luminance side among signal values acquired by reading a document by a scanner, and detects a position of a region corresponding to the document in the generated first image. The image processing apparatus further generates a second image by performing adjustment so as to increase luminance of a pixel contained in the first image, and crops a document image from the generated second image based on the detected position of the region corresponding to the document.

An apparatus including a first memory area and a second memory area is provided with a control method including specifying one or a plurality of types of image processing to be applied in the first memory area, specifying a size of obtainment target image data as a predetermined size based on a memory capacity of the second memory area and a content of the specified one or plurality of types of image processing; and obtaining first divided image data having the specified predetermined size in predetermined image data.

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.
