Abstract:
An image reading apparatus includes a first sensor that reads a first area of an image, a second sensor that reads a second area, and a processing circuit that generates a merge image by performing a merge process on first image data acquired by reading by the first sensor and second image data acquired by reading by the second sensor. The processing circuit calculates a correction value having a tendency of approaching zero as being away from an overlap area between the first area and the second area based on a reading result acquired by reading the overlap area by the first sensor and a reading result acquired by reading by the second sensor, and generates the merge image by performing an offset process using the correction value.

Claim (Index 9):
A non-transitory storage medium storing a program that generates a merge image by performing a merge process on first image data generated by reading by a first sensor reading a first area of an image of a reading target and second image data generated by reading by a second sensor reading a second area partially overlapping with the first area in the image, the program causing a computer to execute:\n calculating a correction value having a tendency of approaching zero as being away from an overlap area between the first area and the second area based on a reading result acquired by reading the overlap area by the first sensor and a reading result acquired by reading the overlap area by the second sensor; and generating the merge image by performing an offset process on at least one of the first image data and the second image data using the correction value.
