ABSTRACT:
The object of this invention is to reduce the effort of deleting and information symbol from a read image. To accomplish this, an image of a document with an information symbol is read (S100), and the information symbol is identified in the read image (S130). The identified information symbol is decoded (S150), and it is determined on the basis of the decoding result whether the data format of the information symbol is a desired one (S160). On the basis of the determination, if the data format is the desired one, the information symbol is deleted from the read image (S170).
