Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes circuitry to determine a type of a document based on a determination result of a character area and a non-character area in an input image of the document; select a model to be used in top-bottom determination from a plurality of models based on the type of the document; reduce the input image, to generate a reduced image; and cut out a part of the input image as a partial image. The circuitry outputs a top-bottom determination result of the input image using the selected model and one of the reduced image and the partial image corresponding to the model.
