IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM AND COMPUTER DATA SIGNAL
First Claim
1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
- an image receiving unit that receives an image including a writing;
a writing detection unit that detects a position of the writing in the image received by the image receiving unit;
a writing deletion unit that deletes the writing from the received image based on the position of the writing detected by the writing detection unit;
a character recognition unit that recognizes characters in the image from which the writing has been deleted by the writing deletion unit;
a translation target character string generation unit that generates a translation-target character string by inserting a code representative of the writing into a result of the recognition by the character recognition unit based on the position of the writing detected by the writing detection unit;
a translation unit that translates the translation-target character string generated by the translation target character string generation unit; and
a translation image generation unit that generates, based on a result of the translation by the translation unit, an image of the result of the translation that includes an image corresponding to the writing.

Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes an image receiving unit, a writing detection unit, a writing deletion unit, a character recognition unit, a character string generation unit, a translation unit and a translation image generation unit. The image receiving unit receives an image including a writing. The writing detection unit detects a position of the writing. The writing deletion unit deletes the writing from the received image based on the position of the writing. The character recognition unit recognizes characters in the image from which the writing has been deleted. The character string generation unit generates a character string by inserting a code representative of the writing into the recognition result based on the position of the writing. The translation unit translates the character string. The translation image generation unit generates, based on the translation result, an image of the translation result including an image corresponding to the writing.

6. An image processing method comprising:
-
receiving an image including a writing; detecting a position of the writing in the received image; deleting the writing from the received image based on the detected position of the writing; recognizing characters in the image from which the writing has been deleted; generating a translation-target character string by inserting a code representative of the writing into a result of the recognition based on the detected position of the writing; translating the generated translation-target character string; and generating, based on a result of the translation, an image of the result of the translation that includes an image corresponding to the writing.

7. A computer-readable medium storing a program that causes a computer to execute image processing, the image processing comprising:
-
receiving an image including a writing; detecting a position of the writing in the received image; deleting the writing from the received image based on the detected position of the writing; recognizing characters in the image from which the writing has been deleted; generating a translation-target character string by inserting a code representative of the writing into a result of the recognition based on the detected position of the writing; translating the generated translation-target character string; and generating, based on a result of the translation, an image of the result of the translation that includes an image corresponding to the writing.
