ABSTRACT:
A first area extracting unit extracts a first document area from document image data by dividing the document image data in units of a document area. A language determining unit determines a type of a language used in the document image data. A second area extracting unit extracts a second document area by dividing or combining the first document area based on a rule corresponding to the type of the language determined by the language determining unit.
