1. An image processing apparatus having:
- an image reading unit which reads an image of a document with an information symbol;
an identification unit which identifies the information symbol in the read image;
a decoding unit which decodes the information symbol identified by said identification unit;
a determination unit which determines on the basis of a decoding result from said decoding unit whether a data format of the information symbol is a prescribed data format; and
a deletion unit which deletes the information symbol from the read image if the data format is the prescribed data format on the basis of a determination made by said determination unit.

Abstract
The object of this invention is to reduce the effort of deleting and information symbol from a read image. To accomplish this, an image of a document with an information symbol is read (S100), and the information symbol is identified in the read image (S130). The identified information symbol is decoded (S150), and it is determined on the basis of the decoding result whether the data format of the information symbol is a desired one (S160). On the basis of the determination, if the data format is the desired one, the information symbol is deleted from the read image (S170).
