To make it possible to extract a value with a high accuracy without imposing a heavy burden on a user even in a case where the character string row of a value corresponding to a certain item within a document changes. Based on a value extraction rule of a registered document whose type is the same as that of an input document, a text block corresponding to a value is estimated from among text blocks included in the scanned image of the input document and the character string that is the value is extracted. Then, after a user modifies the text block corresponding to the extracted character string, a rule is derived for estimating a value block so that it is possible to estimate the modified text block as the text block corresponding to the value.

An image processing apparatus performs operations. A mode is designated in repeat layout processing. A document area is detected by performing image analysis processing on a scanned image, and an inclination-corrected document image is acquired by performing extraction and inclination correction of a document image based on the detected document area. An initial repeat target area position is determined based on the acquired inclination-corrected document image and the designated mode, the inclination-corrected document image and a frame indicating the determined position are displayed, and a repeat target area designation screen is displayed to change a position of the frame indicating the repeat target area based on a user instruction. An output image is generated after the repeat layout processing by repeatedly laying out, in a designated sheet size, an image of the repeat target area determined based on the frame set on the repeat target area designation screen.

Image processing apparatus, non-transitory storage medium, and image processing method

An image processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire an image, an image processing unit configured to perform image processing on the acquired image, and an output unit configured to output the image having undergone the image processing to an output destination. The image processing unit is able to perform replacement processing for replacing colors of predetermined image portions in the acquired image with a color selected from a plurality of predetermined different colors based on the colors of the predetermined image portions. The output unit is able to output the acquired image having undergone the replacement processing to the output destination, and to output the image not having undergone the replacement processing to the output destination.

Image analysis processing is performed on a scanned image to detect a document area and, based on the detected document area, a tilt-corrected document image is obtained by extraction and tilt correction of the document image. Further, an image output size of printing an image in a repeat target area specified based on the tilt-corrected document image is specified, magnification of the image in the repeat target area is changed to the output size, and the image is repeatedly laid out within a specified sheet size. Thus, in an apparatus that generates a repeat layout processed output image and controls print processing, an image output size which is the same as an image output size for the front side of a sheet is specified for the back side of the sheet in a case where the repeat layout processing is performed on both the sides of the sheet.

A tilt-corrected document image is obtained by performing image analysis processing on a scan image to detect a document area and performing extraction and tilt correction of a document image based on the detected document area. The tilt-corrected document image and a frame indicating a repeat target area are displayed in a repeat target area specification screen. The initially displayed frame indicates an area corresponding to the tilt-corrected document image. A position of the displayed frame can be changed based on a user's instruction on the screen. A repeat layout-processed output image is generated by repeatedly laying out an image of the repeat target area determined based on the frame set on the screen within a specified sheet size, and print processing is made executable.

A train information management device sends and receives information to and from both a train-controlling in-vehicle wireless station for controlling an operation of a train, and a door-controlling in-vehicle wireless station for controlling vehicle doors. The device includes a wireless train control unit, an automatic operation unit, and a door control unit. The wireless train control unit receives route information represented by a consecutive block sequence and information on a stop limit location that the train may reach without hindering a preceding train, and if this route information includes a station block number, consults an in-vehicle database to extract, before the train arrives at a platform, an arrival track where the train is to stop, a stop target location at a stop station dependent on a travel direction of the train, and which of the vehicle doors is to be opened, and stops the train in accordance with the route information.

A tilt-corrected document image is obtained by performing image analysis processing on a scan image to detect a document area and performing extraction and tilt correction of a document image based on the detected document area. A repeat target area is set based on the obtained tilt-corrected document image. The number of repetitions in repeatedly laying out the repeat target area for each of a plurality of candidate sheet sizes is calculated, and a list screen showing the calculated numbers of repetitions for the respective plurality of candidate sheet sizes is displayed. A repeat layout-processed output image is generated by repeatedly laying out an image of the repeat target area within a sheet size specified by a user, and print processing is made executable.

An image processing apparatus perform operations. An inclination-corrected document image is acquired by executing detection of a document area from a scanned image, extraction of a document image corresponding to the detected document area from the scanned image and correction of an extracted document image inclination. An output size is designated to be used when an image of a repeat target area is printed out. The output size is designated based on a user instruction. A repeat target area is set based on the acquired inclination-corrected document image and the designated output size. An image inside the set repeat target area is scaled up/down such that the image has the output size, and the image is repeatedly laid out within a designated sheet size to create an output image subsequent to repeat layout processing. Print processing is executed by using the output image subsequent to the repeat layout processing.

A server receives an input image group from an MFP. The server decides a reference image from the input image group, and generates rotated images by deforming the reference image. The server calculates image feature amounts from the reference image and the rotated images, and generates direction determiners using the image feature amounts. With respect to each of images of the input image group, the server determines the directions of the images by applying the direction determiners, and when the directions of the images are different from the direction of the reference image, the images are rotated to the direction of the reference image, and the directions of each of the images of the input image group are unified. The server generates a classification rule to be used in classification of images using the input image group in which the directions are unified.
