Abstract

An image processing apparatus includes a processor configured to display, in a case where there are plural sets each consisting of plural documents, and plural sheets of documents including at least one sheet of a document of each of all or part of the plural sets are simultaneously imaged by an imaging unit that images a document, guidance information for guiding a placement position of the document of each set to be superimposed on an image imaged by the imaging unit and representing a current state, on a display unit, in second and subsequent imaging, by using information pertaining to documents acquired in past imaging.

Claims (25)

1 . An image processing apparatus comprising:

a processor configured to:

display, in a case where there are a plurality of sets each consisting of a plurality of documents, and a plurality of sheets of documents including at least one sheet of a document of each of all or part of the plurality of sets are simultaneously imaged by an imaging unit that images a document, guidance information for guiding a placement position of the document of each set to be superimposed on an image imaged by the imaging unit and representing a current state, on a display unit, in second and subsequent imaging, by using information pertaining to documents acquired in past imaging, wherein

the guidance information is images of the documents acquired in the past imaging; and

the guidance information and an image of the document of each set acquired in the second and subsequent imaging overlap each other on the display unit.

2 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the guidance information is images in a state in which the images of the documents acquired in the past imaging are made transparent at a preset transparency.

3 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the guidance information is an image of a frame representing an outline of each document acquired in the past imaging.

4 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 3 ,

wherein the guidance information includes an image indicating at least one of up, down, right, or left directions of each document.

5 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to:

change a transparency in displaying the guidance information in accordance with a user operation.

6 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to:

switch between a display state and a hidden state of the guidance information in accordance with a user operation.

7 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the plurality of documents included in each set are a front-side document and a back-side document of one medium.

8 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process comprising:

displaying, in a case where there are a plurality of sets each consisting of a plurality of documents, and a plurality of sheets of documents including at least one sheet of a document of each of all or part of the plurality of sets are simultaneously imaged by an imaging unit that images a document, guidance information for guiding a placement position of the document of each set to be superimposed on an image imaged by the imaging unit and representing a current state, on a display unit, in second and subsequent imaging, by using information pertaining to documents acquired in past imaging, wherein

the guidance information is images of the documents acquired in the past imaging; and

the guidance information and an image of the document of each set acquired in the second and subsequent imaging overlap each other on the display unit.

9 . An image processing method comprising:

displaying, in a case where there are a plurality of sets each consisting of a plurality of documents, and a plurality of sheets of documents including at least one sheet of a document of each of all or part of the plurality of sets are simultaneously imaged by an imaging unit that images a document, guidance information for guiding a placement position of the document of each set to be superimposed on an image imaged by the imaging unit and representing a current state, on a display unit, in second and subsequent imaging, by using information pertaining to documents acquired in past imaging, wherein

the guidance information is images of the documents acquired in the past imaging; and

the guidance information and an image of the document of each set acquired in the second and subsequent imaging overlap each other on the display unit.
