Image reading and learning apparatus, method, and program product for determining a missing page using a learned model and deriving the learned model

Abstract

There is provided an image reading apparatus including a reading unit configured to sequentially read respective pages of a target original consisting of a plurality of pages to generate read images, and a determining unit configured to determine whether there is a missing page in the read images. The determining unit is configured to determine whether there is a missing page in the read images by applying, to a learned model, determination data based on a pair of consecutively-generated read images of the target original. The learned model is a model that has been derived through machine teaming using input data based on image pairs of consecutive pages and image pairs of non-consecutive pages of the original for learning, and training data that indicates whether each image pair is a pair of consecutive pages.
