Abstract:
An image reading apparatus includes a platen on which a document is to be placed; an image generating unit that performs scanning on the platen to generate a position detection image and an output image; a document position detecting unit that detects whether a document exists and a position of the document based on the generated position detection image; a document extracting unit that extract an area corresponding to the document from the generated output image; and a control unit that controls the image generating unit, the document position detecting unit, and the document extracting unit so as to output an image of the extracted document.

Claim (Index 2):
The image reading apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising:\n an openable-and-closable document holding mechanism that presses the document placed on the platen toward the platen; and an opening-closing detecting circuit that detects opening and closing of the document holding mechanism, wherein the document position detecting unit sets an area having a density higher than or equal to a predetermined density or an area having a density lower than or equal to a predetermined density as a non-document area in the output image depending on whether the document holding mechanism is in an open state or in a closed state, which is based on a result of the detection by the opening-closing detecting circuit, to detect whether a document exists and a position of the document.
