Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes a measuring unit that measures lengths of segments in an image; a first evaluating unit that evaluates each segment based on the length of the segment measured by the measuring unit and a position of the segment; a second evaluating unit that evaluates each segment based on a similarity of the length of the segment measured by the measuring unit and the position of the segment; and a determining unit that determines whether each segment is a ruled line based on an evaluation result obtained by the first evaluating unit and an evaluation result obtained by the second evaluating unit.
