Abstract
Provided is an image reading apparatus capable of improving the image quality of a document in which texts and images are appeared in the same page. The camera captures a document in page units to obtain captured image data. An area classifying unit classifies the captured image data into areas for each content. An area selecting unit selects whether or not to output the captured image data based on the classification of the area and state of the captured image data. An image scanner scans the area of the document for the area selected not to output the captured image data. An image processing unit processes the captured image data or scanned image data for each area and outputs or deletes it as area data. A document output unit collects the processed area data, reconstructs the data into document data, and outputs it.
