Image processing apparatus, data processing method executed by image processing apparatus, and computer-readable storage medium storing program for causing computer to execute data processing method
View Patent ↗An image processing apparatus capable of checking whether information is recorded in a predetermined region of a document and not recorded in another predetermined region, includes a first and second registration unit, an input unit configured to input image data obtained by reading an image of the document, an identification unit configured to identify a region corresponding to position information registered by the first registration unit or position information registered by the second registration unit from the image data input by the input unit, a determination unit configured to determine whether information is recorded in the region identified by the identification unit, and an output unit configured to output a result indicating that information is recorded in the first region or information is not recorded in the second region according to the determination by the determination unit.
1. An image processing apparatus, comprising:
a first registration unit configured to register position information of a first region of a document and determined as normal if information is recorded;
a second registration unit configured to register position information of a second region of the document and determined as normal if information is not recorded;
an input unit configured to input image data obtained by controlling a reading unit to read an image of the document;
an identification unit configured to identify a region corresponding to the position information registered by the first registration unit or the position information registered by the second registration unit from the image data input by the input unit;
a determination unit configured to determine whether information is recorded in the region identified by the identification unit; and
an output unit configured to output a result indicating that information is recorded in the first region or information is not recorded in the second region according to the determination by the determination unit.
2. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the image data input by the input unit contains additional information for identifying the first region, and
wherein the first registration unit registers position information of the first region by extracting the additional information from the input image data.
3. The image processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,
wherein the image data input by the input unit contains additional information for identifying the second region, and
wherein the second registration unit registers position information of the second region by extracting the additional information from the input image data.
4. The image processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the second registration unit determines that the additional information corresponds to the second region by a color component of the extracted additional information.
5. The image processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the first registration unit determines that the additional information corresponds to the first region by a color component of the extracted additional information.
6. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the input unit sequentially reads a plurality of images of a plurality of documents sequentially fed from a document feeding device, and wherein the output unit outputs the result in association with an order of the plurality of documents fed from the document feeding device.
7. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein when information is not recorded in the first region or information is recorded in the second region, the output unit outputs the image data input by the input unit.
8. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein when information is not recorded in the first region or information is recorded in the second region, the output unit outputs the image data input by the input unit by adding to the information that enables identification of the first region where information is not recorded or the second region where information is recorded.
9. A data processing method executed on an image processing apparatus for processing image data obtained by reading an image of a document, the method comprising:
registering position information of a first region of a document and determined as normal if information is recorded;
registering position information of a second region of the document and determined as normal if information is not recorded;
inputting image data obtained by reading an image of the document;
identifying a region corresponding to the registered position information of the first region or the registered position information of the second region from the input image data;
determining whether information is recorded in the identified region; and
outputting a result indicating that information is recorded in the first region or information is not recorded in the second region according to the result of the determining step.
10. A computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute the data processing method according to claim 9 .
