Abstract
The apparatus of the present invention totalizes a frequency distribution while switching frequency distributions as targets, for each region having a set width, by using a sensor which captures document image data and a setting unit which sets a region width in accordance with frequency distribution generation targets. Upon detecting the trailing end of the document, the apparatus decides a remainder region which is not a totalization target in accordance with the remaining amount of image data of the document, and does not totalize any frequency distribution in the remainder region.
