Abstract:
1. An image processing device that generates, from an input image, an electronic document having a predetermined format, the image processing device comprising: a region-discrimination unit configured to analyze the input image and discriminate a table region; a table-structure-analysis unit configured to analyze a table structure and a ruled line in the discriminated table region and generate table-structure information including information on a cell of a table in the table region; a determination unit configured to determine whether or not a side of the cell included in the generated table-structure information can be represented as a ruled line of the table according to the predetermined format; a unit configured to generate information of a ruled line to be represented according to the predetermined format from the side which is determined to be representable as the ruled line; a unit configured to generate a vector-line object by performing vector-conversion processing on the side which is determined to be unrepresentable as the ruled line; and an electronic-document-generation unit configured to generate the electronic document from the generated table-structure-information, the generated ruled-line information and the generated vector-line object.
