Abstract:
An image reading device generates, as image data of a reading region, image data for output and image data for size detection, the latter having a lower resolution than the former, discriminates high density lines from the size-detection image data, sets as a target line one of the high density lines. And the image reading device calculates as a width for size detection a width from a reference line to the target line, sets as the size of a document a reference size that has a width closest to the width for size detection, performs image processing on the output image data based on the reference size set as the size of the document, and outputs the processed image data.
Abstract:
Provided is an image forming apparatus that adjusts a thin character, a thin line, or the like, which are read in a manuscript, to become identifiable. The blank paper removing part, when the function is set to ON, removes the image data corresponding to the manuscript detected as a blank paper by the blank paper detecting part. The faint character mode part extract a character from the image data and performs faint character adjustment for the data of the extracted character. The control part, in case that the blank paper removing part is set as OFF, if detected a blank paper by the blank paper detecting part, makes perform image processing accompanied with the faint character adjustment by the faint character mode part to the image processing part.
Abstract:
An image processing apparatus includes a 2D code detecting unit, a 2D code decoding unit, and an invalidation processing unit. The 2D code detecting unit is configured to detect a 2D code in a document image. The 2D code decoding unit is configured to try to decode the detected 2D code. The invalidation processing unit is configured to perform invalidation of the 2D code so as to make this 2D code undetectable by the 2D code detecting unit if the 2D code decoding unit failed to decode the 2D code.
Abstract:
An image reading apparatus includes an image data compression unit, an attribute data compression unit, and a memory. Of image data and attribute data generated by image reading, the image data compression unit compresses the image data. The attribute data compression unit compresses the attribute data. In the memory, a page memory region for storing the image data compressed by the image data compression unit and the attribute data compressed by the attribute data compression unit is secured. And, one of the compressed image data and the compressed attribute data is successively written from the beginning of the page memory region toward the end thereof, while the other of the compressed image data and the compressed attribute data is successively written from the end of the page memory region toward the beginning thereof.
Abstract:
An image scanning apparatus of this disclosure includes: a scanner unit which generates image data by image scanning and outputs it; a memory; a data processing unit which (a1) performs a predetermined process for either the image data outputted by the scanner unit or the image data for which a preprocess has been performed, (a2) writes the processed image data into a predetermined memory area in the memory in turn, and (a3) returns a writing position of the image data to a top of the memory area and overwrite the image data if the writing position of the image data reaches an end of the memory area; and a control unit which (b1) allocates the memory area in the memory and (b2) measures a shortage amount of the memory area on the basis of a size of an area where the image data has been overwritten.
