An image processing apparatus having an input device for receiving a multivalue image signal, a generating unit for generating a plurality of count clocks, a counting unit for counting the count clocks supplied from the generating unit, a pulse width modulation unit for performing a pulse width modulation by using an output from the counting unit and the multivalue image signal and a selection unit for selecting one count clock from a plurality of the count clocks in accordance with a value of the multivalue image signal.
摘要:
A multivalued input recording signal is subjected to pulse-width modulation at a time unit shorter than the period of a clock signal within the period of the recording signal. Alternatively, the multivalued input recording signal is converted into a plurality of different signals each of whose length of time is shorter than a clock signal within the period of the recording signal, thereby performing pulse-width modulation in accordance with a predetermined weighting. This makes it possible to obtain a highly toned recording signal without raising the frequency of the clock signal. Further, density tone data is generated in dependence upon inputted multivalued pixel data, and control is performed using both the irradiation time and emission intensity of a light beam based on the generated density tone data. An image is formed by irradiating a photosensitive body with the controlled light beam.

An image forming apparatus suitable for use in a laser beam printer includes an image forming unit for forming an image on a photoconductor, and a reproduction unit for reproducing a high density image and a halftone image on the photoconductor. A detector then detects the density of the high density image and the halftone image formed on the photoconductor. A controller controls an image forming condition of the image forming unit based on a detection result by the detector.

摘要:
The present invention is structured in such a manner that, when multivalued pixel data which constitutes a multivalued image are supplied, a predetermined number of interpolated pixel data are generated and inserted between the supplied and successive pixels. At this time, the gradient of each of the interpolated pixels is calculated and determined in accordance with the gradient of the supplied neighboring multivalued pixels. Thus, the image is recorded on a recording medium in accordance with image data including the interpolated pixel. As a result, print information processed so as to be printed by a low resolution printer can be printed with the same size and high quality as when printed by a high resolution printer according to the present invention.

摘要:
This image processing apparatus inputs multi-valued image data, generates first recording data based on the input data, adds together several of the multi-valued image data, generates second recording data based on the added data and selects either the first or the second recording data. The image processing apparatus selects the first recording data in areas corresponding to the several multi-valued image data when preset data are included in those multi-valued image data, and selects the second recording data in areas corresponding to the several multi-valued image data when preset data are not included in those multi-valued image data.
