ABSTRACT:
An image processing section receives a region “each bitmap data and region attribute (character region, etc.)” from an image separation section, subjects each bitmap to processes for binarization, compression, OCR, etc., and outputs post-processing “each image data and region attribute (text information, meta-information, etc.)”. A region integration section receives the “each image data and region attribute (text information, meta-information, etc.)” from the image processing section, integrates it with image data of the same attribute, which is designated (manually) from an operation panel, on a bitmap level, and outputs “integrated bitmap data and region attribute (text information, meta-information, etc.)”.
