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 8):
The image reading apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising:\n a first analog front end that performs A/D conversion on an analog signal from the first sensor and outputs the first image data which is digital data to the processing circuit; and a second analog front end that performs A/D conversion on an analog signal from the second sensor and outputs the second image data which is digital data to the processing circuit, wherein the processing circuit performs the offset process by digital signal processing based on the first image data from the first analog front end and the second image data from the second analog front end.
