At the encoding side, a sum of code lengths of a block is calculated and stored in a memory for each of block lines (stripes); and at the decoding side, when decoding of one block is completed, a head address of a code in the next block is calculated utilizing a sum of an amount of codes utilized for the decoding operation and code lengths for each of the stripes. The rotation process of an image utilizing encoded data is performed in accordance with the head address. Further, at the encoding side, colors of pixels in a predetermined block is determined, and encoding operation is performed block by block for only those blocks including pixels of different colors. At the decoding side, an address of block data for sequentially constructing a rotated image is controlled to decode the pixels in the block, and finally the rotation process is performed on the pixels in the block in accordance with the color of the pixels.

When image data coded by a DCT coding method in a predetermined block size is to be decoded, an image processing apparatus extracts necessary DCT coefficients of a block on the basis of an enlargement/reduction ratio determined in advance, then decodes the extracted DCT coefficients.

摘要:
A binary image reducing method is so adapted that image reduction in which the occurrence of discontinuous lines is eliminated, is made possible even when there is a change in the reduction magnification of an image containing many lines of one-pixel width and characters or the like composed of line elements having a width of one to several pixels, such as an image created by a computer. First, an original image is subjected to enlargement processing by a micro-enlarging circuit, whereby the image is enlarged by 2.times.p (where, and the reduction ratio is p). Thereafter, 1/2 reduction processing, of the type which preserves fine lines, is executed by a 1/2 reducing circuit. As a result, it is possible to achieve a change in reduction at any desired magnification of 1/2-1 as well as preservation of fine lines in the reduced image obtained. In another embodiment, an original image is subjected to enlargement processing by a micro-enlarging circuit, after which reduction processing, of a type which preserves fine lines, is executed by a repetitive reducing circuit in response to a command from a decision unit. As a result, it is possible to achieve a change in reduction at any desired magnification of 0.about.1 as well as preservation of fine lines in the reduced image obtained.
