摘要:
Disclosed is an image processing apparatus in which vector data from which noise has been removed and amount of data reduced can be generated in ideal fashion with regard to an illustration area selected from a document image. The document image is input to the apparatus and is segmented into a plurality of areas. A clip-art image is selected from these areas and a plurality of clusters are generated with regard to this image area. When a small area included in the plurality of clusters is determined as a noise, the noise is eliminated by combining the small area with a adjacent cluster. After noise is removed, the cluster group eventually obtained is converted to vector data.

An image processing method and image processing apparatus which can execute vector conversion processing by appropriately dividing a clipart image including gradation into regions are provided. To this end, a color document image including a clipart image having an area of gradation is input, the clipart image is selected, and outline information of the clipart image is extracted. The color document image is separated into an achromatic color area and a chromatic color area, which are respectively divided into a plurality of regions. Of the plurality of regions of each of the achromatic color area and the chromatic color area divided in the dividing of region step, regions which meet a set condition are integrated. After that, the clipart image is converted into vector data using a region group after integrating of region and the outline information.

An image processing apparatus in which image data is input, a generator generates area information and a processor processes the image data in accordance with the area information. The generator includes a first generator for generating the area information by using area data for each pixel having a predetermined size stored in a memory, and a second generator for generating the area information by use of a central processing unit (CPU) without using the area data stored in memory. A selector selects one of the area information generated by the first and second generators so that the processor can process the image data in accordance with one of the area information generated by the first and second generators.

There is disclosed an image processing apparatus in which original image data are compressed by encoding to a smaller quantity, then the image processing is conducted in such compressed form, and thus processed data are released with a high resolving power and a satisfactory tonal rendition. In this manner highly advanced image processing can be achieved with a limited memory capacity.

An image processing apparatus, image processing method, and program which enable generation of vector data capable of replicating a clipart region of a raw image as faithfully as possible are provided. To accomplish this, a raw image is segmented into region images according to attributes. From the segmented region images, a region image having a predetermined attribute is cut out from the raw image. At least one representative color which configures the predetermined region image is decided based on an appearance color of the cut out predetermined region image. A color image having the decided representative color is extracted from the predetermined region image. A contour line of the extracted color image is extracted. An edge image within the predetermined region image is extracted. The extracted contour line is corrected based on the extracted edge image. Using the corrected contour line, vector data of the predetermined region image is generated.

Disclosed are an image processing method and apparatus whereby the capability of coding/decoding processing accompanied by learning is improved, this also making it possible to achieve high-speed image formation processing without error. The apparatus includes a coder for generating coded data by arithmetically coding image data, a counter for counting the number of times learning is performed by the coder, and a comparator which, when a count recorded by the counter attains a value stored in a register, stops the learning operation executed by the coder.

This invention has as its object to provide an image coding method which can efficiently encode image data by fully utilizing a two-dimensional correlation of an image. A block matching means searches for a block position corresponding to a minimum absolute value sum of differences of a pixel block to be encoded from already encoded pixel blocks. The searched block position information is encoded by an encoder, and the searched inter-block difference value is Huffman-encoded by another encoder. A code generator generates encoded data using these codes.

An image processing apparatus is provided which can shape codes and omit buffers at a decoding side as well as omit an image memory at an encoding side by providing code buffers for respective encoders. An image encoding apparatus for encoding image information in a hierarchical form includes encoders provided for respective hierarchies and code buffers provided after the respective encoders. Furthermore, it is possible to use a common code buffer memory for respective hierarchies at the encoding side. In such a case, by arranging so that a hierarchical tag can identify to which hierarchy a code belongs, a simplified encoding apparatus is provided.
