Abstract

An image reading apparatus for reading a document such as book, constructed to detect a height of the document. A line sensor captures an image of the document and a lateral side view of the document reflected on a mirror. Then the height of the document detected by the line sensor is corrected based on a deviation between a positions of the document image projected on the line sensor and the lateral side view of the document projected on the line sensor.
