Image processing device extracting desired region to be used as model for image correction
First Claim
1. An image processing device comprising:
- a first image inputting unit that inputs a first image;
a second image inputting unit that inputs a second image different from and not included in the first image;
a first partial image extracting unit that extracts a desired region of the first image as a first partial image;
a first characteristic quantity data determining unit that determines first characteristic quantity data based on the first partial image;
a second characteristic quantity data determining unit that determines second characteristic quantity data based on the second image; and
a correcting unit that corrects the second image based on the first characteristic quantity data and the second characteristic quantity data, and that corrects the second characteristic quantity data close to the first characteristic quantity data to make a color tone of the second image become close to a color tone of the first image, wherein the first image inputting unit inputs the first image optically read from a document placed on a prescribed reading position.

Abstract
An image processing device includes a first image inputting unit, a second image inputting unit, a first partial image extracting unit, a first characteristic quantity data determining unit, a second characteristic quantity data determining unit, and a correcting unit. The first image inputting unit inputs a first image. The second image inputting unit inputs a second image The first partial image extracting unit extracts a desired region of the first image as a first partial image. The first characteristic quantity data determining unit determines first characteristic quantity data based on the first partial image. The second characteristic quantity data determining unit determines second characteristic quantity data based on the second image. The correcting unit corrects the second image based on the first characteristic quantity data and the second characteristic quantity data.
