An image processing system performs tilt correction with respect to a document image having handwritten characters and typed letters mixed with each other. The image processing system separates the document image into an image with handwritten characters determined as handwritten characters and an image without handwritten characters not determined as handwritten characters, estimates a tilt angle of the image without handwritten characters, and corrects the document image on the basis of the tilt angle.

Image processing system, image processing method, and storage medium

An object is to improve character recognition accuracy of handwritten characters, originally a single continuous character string, described discontinuously. An image area corresponding to a handwritten character is separated from a document image obtained by scanning a document and a character block including characters having the same baseline is extracted. Then, in a case where a plurality of character blocks is extracted from the first image area, a single character block is generated by combining character blocks based on a position relationship of the plurality of character blocks.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and storage medium

To provide a charging device and an image forming apparatus that can restrict generation of a winding-seam irregularity of a roll brush for a long period. A charging deviceis configured so that, when first and second charging membersandperform charging processing on a rotating photosensitive member, a regionon a surface of the photosensitive memberfacing a winding seam, which is a seam of a base clothserving as a base material of the first charging member, is not superposed on a regionon the surface of the photosensitive memberfacing a winding seam, which is a seam of a base clothserving as a base material of the second charging member
