Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes a processor configured to: obtain image information by reading a document image; divide a single page in the obtained image information on the basis of a predetermined block unit; count black points in each block obtained through the division; use the counting result of black points in each block to determine whether the document image is a layout image in which multiple images are allocated in a single page, and to detect and delete a blank-sheet image in the layout image.
