Abstract

An information processing method includes determining, in a luminance image that represents luminance components of an input image obtained by capturing a document image, a shaded region affected by shade and a specific pixel region including specific pixels less affected by the shade through a color of an object in the document image by using the luminance components of pixels of the luminance image, and generating a shade image that represents shade components of the input image by referring to pixel values of pixels adjacent to the specific pixels and repeating replacement processing of replacing a pixel value of each of the specific pixels with a value of the shaded region adjacent to the specific pixel until the specific pixel region disappears.
