Original Abstract Submitted
An image processing apparatus includes: a second image generator that generates, based on a first image, at least one second image obtained by reducing the first image at a predetermined resizing ratio; a character-recognition success count determiner that performs character recognition on the first image and the second image and determines a character-recognition success count for the first image that is the number of characters for which the character recognition on the first image is successful and a character-recognition success count for the second image that is the number of characters for which the character recognition on the second image is successful; a condition determiner that determines, for the second image, whether a ratio of the character-recognition success count for the second image to the character-recognition success count for the first image or a difference between the character-recognition success count for the second image and the character-recognition success count for the first image satisfies a predetermined determination condition; and a limited resizing ratio determiner that determines, as a limited resizing ratio for the first image, the resizing ratio for the second image determined to satisfy the determination condition.
