Abstract
An image processing apparatus accurately determines the inclination of an original even in the case where an original of a white sheet is read with a white sheet as a background. For this, the image processing apparatus extracts a fiber section having a feature of paper fiber from image data, analyzes a direction of fiber in the fiber section, and calculates the inclination of an original at the time of reading the original based on the direction.
