Abstract:
An image processing apparatus includes a processor for acquiring an image of a reference member, calculating a dirt degree at an imaging position by comparing a gradient value of a pixel with a gradient value of peripheral pixels of the pixel or comparing the gradient value of the pixel with a reference value, with regard to a pixel included in the acquired image of the reference member, and generating when the dirt degree is equal to or more than a first threshold. When the dirt degree is less than the first threshold and equal to or more than a second threshold that is smaller than the first threshold, the processor generates the warning only when a scan count exceeds a scan count threshold, and when the dirt degree is less than the second threshold, the processor does not generate the warning.

Claim (Index 13):
A computer-readable, non-transitory medium storing a computer program, wherein the computer program causes an image processing apparatus having a storage device to execute a process, the process comprising:\n storing number of documents which have been scanned as a scan count in the storage device; acquiring an image of a reference member; calculating a dirt degree at an imaging position by comparing a gradient value of a pixel with a gradient value of peripheral pixels of the pixel or comparing the gradient value of the pixel with a reference value, with regard to a pixel included in the acquired image of the reference member; and generating a warning when the dirt degree is equal to or more than a first threshold, wherein, when the dirt degree is less than the first threshold and equal to or more than a second threshold that is smaller than the first threshold, generating the warning only when the scan count exceeds a scan count threshold; and wherein when the dirt degree is less than the second threshold, not generating the warning.
