摘要:
A document is scanned by an optical scanner to be converted into digital image data to be transmitted to an image memory. Characters are extracted from the digital image data one by one and features are extracted from each of the extracted characters. The features as standard patterns stored in a character recognition dictionary are read out to be subjected to 90 degree rotation, 180 degree rotation and 270 degree rotation by a feature rotator, thereby to produce standard patterns of the four directions. Similarity measures are individually calculated between the standard patterns of the four directions and the features of each extracted character, with respect to the four directions. This processing is repeated for a plurality of characters recorded in the document to select a direction having the maximum add value of the similarity measures, thereby to detect an input direction of the document. When the detected direction is not a proper direction, the counterclockwise rotation is given to the digital image data to correct the digital image data to the proper direction.

An image information file and retrieving apparatus and method wherein information of an image of at least one document having text information and non-text information is inputted and stored together with attribute information of a relationship of at least one of the text information and the non-text information of the at least one document. The stored image information is retrieved in accordance with a retrieval condition indicating a requested relationship between the text information and non-text information. More particularly, a fuzzy weighting function is utilized for retrieval.

In an image data rotating system for applying rotation processing to input image data of a large picture plane, the image data is divided into rectangular small blocks and rotation processing is applied to the image data of each block. The rotation processing to the image data of each block is performed by first reducing in the x-axis direction and enlarging in the y-axis direction. Then the first oblique axis transformation is applied. Any error data between the real oblique axis and the image element found in the final raster of the corresponding region is held in a memory. Subsequently, the second oblique axis transformation in the y-axis direction is applied, and error data is held in similar manner. Error data held as the initial value for the rotation processing to the image data of the adjacent region block is used, thereby allowing the rotation of the image data of a large picture plane to an arbitrary angle to be executed at high speed.

The present invention provides an image reducing system and method capable of retaining fine lines in a reduced image by reducing an original image and by quickly forming the reduced image with high quality. The method includes specifying positions of pixels of a reduced image in the original image according to reduction ratios, extracting a run of pieces of the same color information about the color of the pixels of the original image as a line, determining the line width of the extracted line and determining the line width after reduction in the reduction ratios based on the line width of the extracted line and calculating the centroid of the extracted line, and retaining the color information about the extracted line at a reduced pixel near the centroid on the basis of the centroid of the extracted line and the line width after reduction. The method further performs the step of determining the color information about each reduced pixel based on the retained color information.

Disclosed herein is a system integrally comprising a CAD system and an electronic filing system. When vector data such as figures and their names are converted to image (raster) data for storage, the system automatically extracts, from the vector data coming from the CAD system, those data that correspond to predetermined character attributes, maximum numeric attributes, primitives of each figure and the topology thereof. The data are set as key-words and are made to correspond to the image data for registration and storage into the electronic filing system. In searching for desired image data, the corresponding key-words are input for data retrieval and output.

A drawing data obtained by a CAD device is extended once to an image data on a plane and the extended image data is coded and stored in an electronic file device so that every display can be done by merely reading data stored in the electronic file device, decoding and displaying it. The image data having a plurality of attributes is stored attribute by attribute so that the electronic file device can display only image having attribute or attributes instructed and it is possible to obtain only required image information among various informations contained in a complicated image and thus searching is facilitated.

A filing method and a system for filing image data operate to divide an input image having a dot number larger than a predetermined dot number of a display screen at a fundamental unit equal to the display screen size, to file the divided input images as a plurality of partial image data on an optical disk, and to retrieve the filed images at high speed. The division filing system includes an input image process device for compressing the divided partial image data, and an index generating device, such as a complexity detecting circuit, for extracting either position information of a distinguishable partial image, or address information among the divided partial images. An optical disk device stores either the position information or the address information as well as the compressed image data into an optical disk. The image retrieval process sequentially reads the compressed image data of only the distinguishable particular image from the optical disk, while referring the address information or the position information image.
