Abstract:
An image processing apparatus includes a platen on which a document to be read is placed, an image input unit configured to read, at a time, one or a plurality of documents placed on the platen, an individual image extraction unit configured to extract individual images of the one or the plurality of documents read at a time, an individual image location judgment unit configured to determine whether the extracted individual images are each located within one of areas set in a reading area of the platen depending on the number of documents to be read, and an individual image selection unit configured to, in a case where one or a plurality of the extracted individual images are located within a particular area, select one individual image as an image to be captured in the area based on a predetermined selection criterion.

Claim (Index 10):
An image processing method for an image processing apparatus, comprising:\n to read a particular first side of a plurality of reading sides of each document of a plurality of documents, placing the plurality of documents on a platen such that one document is located within one of areas set in a reading area of the platen without overlapping between documents, and then performing a first-time reading process to read image data including the first side of each of the plurality of documents; thereafter, re-placing the plurality of documents such that each document is turned over and placed in the same area as the area in which the document is located when the first side of the document is read, and then performing a second-time reading process to read image data including the second side of each document different from the first side; extracting individual images of the first sides of the respective documents from the image data obtained in the first-time reading process; extracting individual images of the second sides of the respective documents from the image data obtained in the second-time reading process; determining whether each extracted individual image of the first side and each extracted individual image of the second side are located within one of areas set in the reading area of the platen; in a case where one or a plurality of extracted individual images are located within a particular area, selecting, as an image to be captured in the area, one individual image of the first side corresponding to one document and one individual image of the second side corresponding to the same document based on a predetermined selection criterion; and associating the individual image of the first side and the individual image of the second side of the document selected in the one area thereby obtaining image information of a front side and a back side of the one document, and outputting the image information of the front side and the back side associated with each other of the document for each of the plurality of read documents.
