Abstract
An image processing system generates a first image by removing elements in contact with a boundary of a mark sheet area image from the mark sheet area image; generates a second image by removing from the first image elements whose area is equal to or smaller than a specific ratio (less than 1) of an area of an element having the largest area in the first image; identifies an element in the second image whose inside is not filled in as a blank frame; identifies, of elements within the mark sheet area image, an element whose position in a direction in which the frames are aligned with respect to the character string that represents an item is within a specific distance from the blank frame as a frame, and identifies a frame that has no corresponding blank frame as a filled-in frame, whose inside is filled in.
