Abstract
A clipping processor is configured to estimate a background pixel value which is a read value of a background board and to clip an image of an original document from a read image based on the background pixel value which is estimated, the read value changing due to an increase in distance between a sensor and the background board caused by the original document, the read image being a result of reading an area including the original document and the background board.
