摘要:
This image forming device 1 comprises an image processing unit 9, an HDD 23 and an image forming unit. The image processing unit 9 is capable of instructing the output of the image data sent from the PC 43. The HDD 23 is connected to the image processing unit 9 and is capable of storing the image data to be delivered. The image forming unit is capable of receiving the instruction from the image processing unit 9 and delivering onto paper or the like the image data stored in the HDD 23. Then, when the ID information contained in the image data is detected by the image processing unit 9, writing of image data to the HDD 23 is prohibited.

An apparatus for and a method of reliably detecting a very small dotted image area. A detecting area including a predetermined number of pixels including a target pixel is set. It is judged whether or not the detecting area belongs to a dotted image area on the basis of the number of edge pixels in the detecting area. Consequently, it is possible to detect edges peculiar to the dotted image area on the basis of a leading edge portion or a trailing edge portion of the density, to detect the very small dotted image area on the basis of the number of edge pixels.

An image processor performs emphasis processings suitable for materials to be copied to produce clear copy outputs. The image processor has a digitizing circuit which outputs a digital signal produced by digitizing an image. The processor further has a first detecting circuit which detects an area of the digital signal including a periodic component, a second detecting circuit which detects a character area of the digital signal, and a smoothing circuit which smoothes the digital signal to output a smoothed signal. Either the digital signal or the smoothed signal is selected and outputted by a changeover circuit according to an output of the first detecting circuit. The output of the changeover circuit is differentiated into a plurality of differentiated signals by a differentiating circuit by use of a plurality of different coefficients. One of the differentiated signals is selected and outputted according to the outputs of the first and second detecting circuits.

An enlargement/reduction signal generating apparatus comprises means for generating basic clock pulses, means for generating frequency-divided clock pulses of different kinds, having the different frequencies by dividing the frequency of said basic clock pulses, means for generating selection signals to combine said clock pulses generated by said basic clock pulse generating means and said frequency-divided clock pulse generating means, whereby the ratio of said reading clock pulses to said writing clock pulses corresponds to a predetermined enlargement/reduction ratio, and means for making enlargement/reduction clock pulses by combining said basic clock pulses and said frequency-divided clock pulses in correspondence with said selection signals from said selection signal generating means and for outputting said enlargement/reduction clock pulses as said reading clock pulses or said writing clock pulses. The enlargement/reduction signal generating apparatus is an apparatus for generating reading clock pulses and writing clock pulses to enlarge or reduce the image of digital data stored in a storing means. The apparatus may be disposed in an image processing unit for processing image information. The image processing unit may be used as a unit which receives image information from an optical unit, enlarges or reduces the image information, and outputs the enlarged/reduced image information to an image forming part, in a copying machine having a scanner and a printer. The copying machine may be a digital copying machine having a laser unit.

In an image forming apparatus including a digital image processing device, an overlay memory stores predetermined image data. The image data stored in the overlay memory is read at a predetermined timing in a predetermined cycle and composite data is made from the image data and image data outputted from a line memory. Since the image data stored in the overlay memory is read at the predetermined timing in the predetermined cycle, various kinds of overlaid image which may include a space-magnified image can be made by arbitrarily selecting the timing and cycle for reading.

An apparatus for and a method of detecting a dotted image area in an image. It is judged on the basis of image data corresponding to pixels in a first judging area which includes a predetermined number of pixels including a target pixel whether or not the target pixel is a peculiar point pixel (a peak pixel or a dip pixel). Further, it is judged on the basis of image data corresponding to pixels in a second judging area which is larger than the first judging area whether or not the target pixel is a peculiar point pixel. The dotted image area in the image is detected on the basis of the results of judgment related to the first judging area and the second judging area.

An automatic image-density control system for photo-copying the page-to-page content of an open book, in which optimum values (of exposure or development bias) needed for precisely copying the page-to-page content are initially established by performing either continuous pre-scanning of both pages of an open book or pre-scanning of the second page after completing photo-copying of the first page, and then, based on the optimum values thus established in conjunction with the first page content, photo-copying operation for the first page content is executed, and then, based on the optimum values established for the second-page content, photo-copying operation is sequentially executed for the second-page content.
摘要:
Disclosed is an apparatus for detecting pixels in a dotted image area (dotted area pixels). Image data corresponding to each of the pixels is coded into one of a predetermined number of discrete values. The distance between change points at which the value of the pixel after the coding is changed from a first value to a second value is detected. Further, it is examined whether or not periodicity is recognized in the distance between the change points in the vicinity of a target pixel. If periodicity is recognized in the distance between the change points, it is judged that the target pixel may constitute a dotted image area.

A color image is by an optical scanner for conversion into three primary color data corresponding to the respective densities of the three primary colors. An edge detector detects a pixel of an edge based on the three primary color data. A pixel color judging device judges a color of a target pixel based on the three primary color data of the target pixel and its adjacent pixels. Based on edge detection results of the edge detector and pixel color judgment results of the pixel color judging device, detected is a pixel of a black edge. Judgement conditions for the pixel color judgement are established based upon characteristics that depend upon the order of arrangement of color filters in a scanner.
