A method for removing a mark in a document image includes: extracting connected components from a binary image corresponding to the document image; clustering the connected components based on grayscale features of the connected components to obtain one clustering center; searching, within numerical ranges of a clustering radius R and a grayscale threshold T, for a combination (R, T) which causes an evaluation value based on the grayscale features of the connected components to be higher than a first evaluation threshold; and removing the mark in the document image based on the grayscale threshold in the combination.
