Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes a processor for generating a front-surface image captured of a front surface of a conveyed document and a back-surface image captured of a back surface of the conveyed document, detecting a feature of the conveyed document, determining whether a first end of the front-surface image and a second end of the back-surface image corresponding to the first end are continuous, based on the generated front-surface image and back-surface image and the detected feature, and synthesizing the front-surface image and the back-surface image when it has been determined that the first end and the second end are continuous.
