Abstract
An image processing device includes a processing circuit, a detection circuit, a setting circuit, and a decision circuit. The processing circuit obtains, from image data of a document read by a reading device, a value relating to a difference between pixel values of adjacent pixels in a direction from a background portion to a document portion in the image data. The detection circuit searches for a pixel in the direction and detects an edge, which indicates a boundary between the background portion and the document portion, based on the value relating to the difference. The setting circuit sets the detected edge as a first edge or a second edge. The decision circuit decides the second edge as a document edge of the document.
