Abstract:
An image processing apparatus includes a transparent member, a white reference member, an imaging device, a conveyance member, a light source, and a processor for detecting a dirt substance from the input image. The light source is provided such that a shadow of a leading end or rear end of the document conveyed on the transparent member is formed on the white reference member at the imaging position. The processor detects a shadow region formed by the leading end or rear end of the conveyed document from the input image and detects a dirt substance from within the detected shadow region.

Claim (Index 8):
An image processing system comprising:\n an image reading apparatus including:\n a transparent member; \n a white reference member provided either above or below the transparent member; \n an imaging device for, provided on an opposite side of the white reference member across the transparent member, generating an input image of a document and a periphery of the document conveyed between the transparent member and the imaging device at an imaging position; \n a conveyance member for conveying a document between the transparent member and the imaging device; and \n a light source for, provided on an opposite side of the white reference member across the transparent member, irradiating light toward the white reference member, and \n an information processing apparatus including a processor for detecting a dirt substance from the input image, wherein the light source is provided such that a shadow of a leading end or rear end of the document conveyed on the transparent member is formed on the white reference member at the imaging position, and the processor detects a shadow region formed by the leading end or rear end of the conveyed document from the input image and detects a dirt substance from within the detected shadow region.
