Abstract
A reading apparatus reads an object placed faceup on a reading plate by using an imaging unit attached above the reading plate, and determines whether a user has reversed the read object by using information about the read object. If the read object is determined to have been reversed, the reading apparatus reads the reversed object by using the imaging unit and associates respective pieces of data of the two read objects with each other.
