Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
a first image processing device configured to process an invisible image of an object;
a second image processing device configured to process a visible image of the object; and
a controller configured to control the first image processing device and the second image processing device,
wherein the first image processing device includes a first skew detector configured to detect a skew of the object from the invisible image of the object,
wherein the second image processing device includes,
a second skew detector configured to detect the skew from the visible image of the object, and
circuitry configured to adjust the skew of the object based on a first result of skew detection performed by the first skew detector of the first image processing device or a second result of skew detection performed by the second skew detector of the second image processing device,
wherein the first image processing device includes:
an input interface configured to receive each one of the visible image and the invisible image output from a pair of scanners of the object; and
an output interface configured to output the visible image and the invisible image output from the input interface to a pair of image-data paths of the second image processing device, respectively,
wherein the output interface includes an output image selector configured to select one of the pair of image-data paths dedicated to each one of the visible image and the invisible image and output the each one of the visible image and the invisible image to the selected one of the pair of image-data paths.
