- 7. An apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising input means for inputting a document title corresponding to the document image stored in said memory means.
- 8. An apparatus according to claim 7, wherein said control means controls said display means to display a list of document titles input by said inputting means and to display the document image corresponding to a selected one of the displayed list of document titles.
- 9. A method for processing document images comprising the steps of:
- photographing a document image with a camera;
- displaying the photographed document image;
- moving the camera and the document image relative to each other so as to display a desired area of the document image;
- selecting a desired area of the displayed document image in accordance with the relative movement of the camera and the document image;
- storing the selected desired area of the document image in a memory and at least one other area of the document image located at the periphery of the desired area of the document image, with the at least one other area of the document image being photographed by the camera in accordance with the relative movement of the camera and the document image, and storing in the memory a selected area of the document image and only one other area of the document image located at the periphery of the desired area of the document image when a predetermined photographing magnification is selected; and
- controlling the display of the document image stored in the memory.
- 10. A method according to claim 9, further comprising the step of providing either one of a liquid crystal display and a cathode ray tube display for displaying the document image.
- 11. A method according to claim 7, further comprising the step of providing a platen for moving the camera and the document image relative to each other.
- 12. A method according to claim 7, further comprising the step of providing either one of a semiconductor memory and a magnetic disc memory as the memory.
- 13. A method according to claim 7, further comprising the step of lighting the document image upon storage of the document image in the memory.
- 14. A method according to claim 7, wherein the at least one other area of the document image is located at one of a left upper position, upper position, right upper position, left position, right position, left lower position, under position and right lower position of the desired area of the document image.
- 15. A method according to claim 7, further comprising the step of inputting a document title corresponding to the document image stored in the memory.
- 16. A method according to claim 15, further comprising the step of displaying a list of document titles and displaying the document image corresponding to a selected one of the displayed list of the document titles.
- 17. An image processing apparatus, comprising:
- camera means for photographing a document image;
- display means for displaying the document image photographed by said camera means;
- moving means for moving said camera means and the document image relatively to each other so as to cause said display means to display a desired area of the document image;
- selection means for selecting a desired area of the document image displayed by said display means in accordance with the relative movement of said camera means and the document image by said moving means;
- memory means for storing the desired area of the document image selected by said selection means and at least one other area of the document image located at the periphery of the desired area of the document image, with the at least one other area of the document image being photographed by said camera means in accordance with the relative movement of said camera means and the document image by said moving means, wherein said memory means stores the selected area of the document image and only one other area of the document image located at the periphery of the desired area of the document image when a large photographing magnification is selected; and
- control means for controlling said display means to display the document image stored in said memory means.
- 18. A method for processing document images comprising the steps of:
- photographing a document image with a camera;
- displaying the photographed document image;
- moving the camera and the document image relative to each other so as to display a desired area of the document image;
- selecting a desired area of the displayed document image in accordance with the relative movement of the camera and the document image;
- storing the selected desired area of the document image in a memory and at least one other area of the document image located at the periphery of the desired area of the document image, with the at least one other area of the document image being photographed by the camera in accordance with the relative movement of the camera and the document image, and storing in the memory a selected area of the document image and only one other area of the document image located at the periphery of the desired area of the document image when a large photographing magnification is selected; and
- controlling the display of the document image stored in the memory.
