Abstract:
An image processing apparatus for correcting the inclination of image data while reading originals as image data by electric scanning, comprising:an inclined angle detecting means for detecting an inclined angle of an original; a first line shifting means for shifting the image data in the main-scanning direction by a specific number of lines in a shifting amount corresponding to the inclined angle detected by the inclined angle detecting means; a first image memory for storing the image data shifted by the first line shifting means; a first rotating means for interchanging the main-scanning direction and the sub-scanning direction by rotating the image data stored in the first image memory by 90 degrees or 270 degrees; and, a second line shifting means for shifting the image data, rotated by the first rotating means, in the main-scanning direction by the specific number of lines in the shifting amount corresponding to the inclined angle detected by the inclined angle detecting means.
