Image reading apparatus, image data output processing apparatus, and image reading method performing color correction based on UV and visible light

摘要

Image data R_in, G_in, B_in are read out from an image on a document, on reception of light reflected by the image after being emitted from a first light source for irradiating the document with visible light. Image data R_UV, G_UV, B_UV are read out from the image on the document, on reception of light reflected by the image after being emitted from a second light source for irradiating the document with ultraviolet light. A color correction process is performed by reading out color corrected imaged data from a color correction table which stores in advance color corrected image data, which are associated with a combination of (i) image data, which correspond to the image data R_in, G_in, B_in, and image data which correspond to the image data R_UV, G_UV, B_UV. By this, it is possible that even in a case where an image on the document contains a fluorescent image, the fluorescent image be easily and accurately reproduced.
