Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An image scanning apparatus includes a scanner configured to scan a manuscript and generate a plurality of scan images; a discriminator configured to calculate a color ratio regarding each of the generated plurality of scan images, compare the calculated color ratio and a predetermined reference value, and discriminate color or black and white regarding each of the generated plurality of scan images; and a controller configured to control the discriminator so that a same discrimination is performed regarding ‘a scan image having a color ratio within a predetermined range including the predetermined reference value’ of among the plurality of scan images.
