    摘要: An operation of an iris filter is carried out on an original image signal representing an image, and the degree of centralization of gradients of the original image signal with respect to a picture element is thereby calculated, each of picture elements constituting the image being taken as the picture element. An image portion, which is associated with a high degree of centralization, in the image is detected in accordance with the calculated degree of centralization. Image emphasis processing is then selectively carried out on the detected image portion. Alternatively, a morphology operation is carried out on an original image signal Dorg by using a multiply structure element Bi and a scale factor &lgr;, and a morphology signal Dmor is thereby obtained. The morphology signal Dmor represents whether each of picture elements constituting the image is or is not the one corresponding to an image portion, at which the original image signal Dorg fluctuates in a spatially narrower range than the multiply structure element Bi. Image emphasis processing is then carried out on the original image signal Dorg and in accordance with the morphology signal Dmor.

    摘要: A winding shaft, for use in a printer, which allows a wound recording paper to be easily removed therefrom. The winding shaft includes a shaft main body, a winding portion and a support-removing member. The winding portion, which sandwiches the shaft main body, winds the recording paper therearound. The shaft main body includes a pair of support-removing members, which respectively project from the shaft main body. The two support-removing members are respectively supported on the two side portions of the shaft main body in such a manner that they can be freely rotated about their respective support shafts. A tension-coiled spring is bridgingly disposed between the two support-removing members, so that the two support-removing members remain in standing positions when no external force is applied to them. If the recording paper is lightly rotated in a direction opposite to the winding direction of the recording paper, then the two support-removing members are brought down in the same direction due to an external force applied thereto from the innermost peripheral recording paper. As a result, the innermost peripheral recording paper is loosened, that is, is caused to float loosely from the outer peripheral surface of the shaft main body, thereby enabling the removable of the recording paper from the winding shaft.

    摘要: Unsharp mask image signals having different frequency response characteristics are formed from an original image signal, and band-limited image signals are formed from the unsharp mask image signals. First and second converting processes are carried out on the band-limited image signals, and first converted image signals and second converted image signals are thereby formed. The first converted image signals are integrated, and a signal concerning high frequency components is thereby obtained. Also, the second converted image signals are integrated, the thus obtained integration signal is subtracted from the original image signal, and a difference signal is thereby formed. The difference signal is converted, and a signal concerning low frequency components is thereby obtained. The signal concerning high frequency components and the signal concerning low frequency components are added to the original image signal. Thus the high frequency components of the original image signal are emphasized, and the dynamic range of the original image signal is compressed.

    摘要: A morphology operation, with which an image portion having a contour of a predetermined size is extracted from an original image, is carried out on an original image signal Sorg representing the original image. A specific image signal, which represents a characteristic value with respect to the image portion having the contour, is thereby obtained. A specific image emphasis coefficient in accordance with the level of the specific image signal is calculated. An edge signal, which represents a characteristic value with respect to an image edge portion in the original image, is detected. The specific image emphasis coefficient is adjusted in accordance with the edge signal. A new specific image emphasis coefficient obtained from the adjustment is employed as an emphasis coefficient .beta., and a processed image signal Sproc is calculated with Formula (1):Sproc=Sorg+.beta..times.(Sorg-Sus) (1)where Sus represents an unsharp mask signal of the original image signal Sorg.

    摘要: In closing processing, maximum value processing is carried out with a structure element on an original image signal, and maximum value signals are thereby obtained as intermediate results and stored in an intermediate memory. The intermediate memory has a storage space of (the same number of lines as that of picture elements constituting the structure element).times.(the number of picture elements lying on one line in the array of picture elements of the original image). Minimum value processing is then carried out with the structure element on the maximum value signals having been stored along one line in the intermediate memory. Each time the minimum value processing for one line in the intermediate memory is finished, the maximum value signals having been stored in the intermediate memory are shifted back by one line, and the maximum value processing is then carried out for one line in the array of picture elements of the original image. The storage space of the intermediate memory is thereby kept small.
