1. An image processing apparatus that outputs an original image of an original on the basis of a platen image obtained by reading a platen on which the original is placed, the image processing apparatus comprising:
- an image extracting unit configured to extract a plurality of image areas included in the platen image;
a determining unit configured to determine whether each of the plurality of image areas that are extracted has a characteristic indicating a table;
a judging unit configured to judge that the original is formed of one original and that a rectangular area including the plurality of image areas is the original image in a case where at least one of the plurality of image areas has the characteristic, and judge that the original is formed of a plurality of originals and that each of the plurality of image areas is the original image in a case where none of the plurality of image areas has the characteristic; and
an output unit configured to output the original image.

Abstract
An image processing apparatus judges whether each of a plurality of image areas included in a platen image, which is obtained by reading a platen on which an original is placed, has a characteristic indicating a table. In a case where at least one of the plurality of image areas has the characteristic indicating a table, the image processing apparatus judges that an original is formed of one original and outputs a rectangular area including the plurality of image areas.

3. An image processing method for an image processing apparatus that outputs an original image of an original on the basis of a platen image obtained by reading a platen on which the original is placed, the image processing method comprising:
-
an image extracting step of extracting a plurality of image areas included in the platen image; a determining step of determining whether each of the plurality of image areas that are extracted has a characteristic indicating a table; a judging step of judging that the original is formed of one original and that a rectangular area including the plurality of image areas is the original image in a case where at least one of the plurality of image areas has the characteristic, and judging that the original is formed of a plurality of originals and that each of the plurality of image areas is the original image in a case where none of the plurality of image areas has the characteristic; and an output step of outputting the original image.

4. A computer-readable storage medium storing a computer-executable process, the computer-executable process causing a computer to implement an image processing method for an image processing apparatus that outputs an original image of an original on the basis of a platen image obtained by reading a platen on which the original is placed, the image processing method comprising:
-
an image extracting step of extracting a plurality of image areas included in the platen image; a determining step of determining whether each of the plurality of image areas that are extracted has a characteristic indicating a table; a judging step of judging that the original is formed of one original and that a rectangular area including the plurality of image areas is the original image in a case where at least one of the plurality of image areas has the characteristic, and judging that the original is formed of a plurality of originals and that each of the plurality of image areas is the original image in a case where none of the plurality of image areas has the characteristic; and an output step of outputting the original image.
