1. A computer-implemented method for processing an image, comprising: identifying at least one characteristic of the image; determining a number of first colored pixels and a number of non-first colored pixels associated with the identified characteristic of the image; calculating, using a processor, a ratio for the image based on the number of first colored pixels and the number of non-first colored pixels; comparing the ratio for the image with a threshold; and identifying the image as being blank based on the comparison of the ratio to the threshold.
