Abstract:
According to one embodiment, an image processing apparatus includes an image reading device, a storage device, and a control unity. The image reading device reads an image on a sheet. The storage device stores information. The control unit that determines a detection area of an encoded image based on a teacher image which is an image read from a predetermined teacher sheet by the image reading device, records information indicating the detection area in the storage device, detects an encoded image in the detection area among the images read from a sheet to be read after the teacher sheet, and decodes the detected encoded image.

Claim (Index 1):
An image processing apparatus comprising:\n an image reading device configured to read an image including at least one encoded image on a plurality of sheets; a control panel operable to receive an input selecting between a first setting and a second setting, wherein the second setting designates a different detection method of the at least one encoded image on the plurality of sheets than a detection method used in the first setting; a storage device configured to store information; and a control unit configured to: in response to receiving a selection of the first setting, determine a detection area of an encoded image based on a teacher image read from a first sheet of the plurality of sheets, detect an encoded image in the determined detection area in each of the plurality of sheets, decode the detected encoded image, and record information indicating the detection area in the storage device, and in response to receiving a selection of the second setting, detect an encoded image from an image read from each of the plurality of sheets, and decode the detected encoded image.
