Abstract

See full text

An image processing device and method recognizing and deleting extraneous objects in image for data based on analysis of the image data. An object detection means detects an object region such as a finger or the like in a document image, and an image processing means erases part of an image corresponding to the object region of a finger or the like in the image data. The object detection means detects the object region by a dynamic contouring method in which a specific initial contour is set relative to the image data, and the initial contour is adjusted along a border of variable density in the image data so as to accurately erase an object image of a finger of a user holding a document.
