Abstract: Images are captured and are stored (either in compressed or non-compressed form) in non-volatile storage at a predetermined quality or Q level. When the storage fills to a predetermined threshold, some or all of the images are compressed or recompressed to a lower quality, to make room for additional storage; i.e. new images may be captured and compressed at this lower quality or Q level, to minimize the rate at which the remaining storage is consumed; or all of the captured and stored images may be compressed or recompressed to this lower quality or Q level.

Abstract: Methods are provided for an apparatus which encodes items of data by variable-length coding and which stores the encoded items of data in a memory, wherein a size of one of the items of encoded data is variable by varying a value of a control parameter of the variable-length coding. One method includes: determining an amount of available memory space in the memory; determining a value of the control parameter for the variable-length coding of the items of data; and determining a number of items of encoded data that can be stored in the available memory space, based on an upper limit of the size of one of the items of encoded data at the determined value of the control parameter.

Abstract: A facsimile apparatus is disclosed that performs accurate and efficient facsimile transmission while obtaining accurate reception capacity information of each transmission destination. The reception capacity of each transmission destination is stored, together with the mail address, in a memory unit of the apparatus. When facsimile transmission accompanied by a delivery confirmation request is carried out, a main controlling unit causes the memory unit to store the transmission mode. If delivery confirmation mail from the transmission destination contains reception capacity information, the main controlling unit causes the memory unit to store it as the reception capacity information of the transmission destination. If the delivery confirmation mail does not contain reception capacity information but confirms that the communication has been properly completed, the transmission mode already stored in the memory unit is stored as a transmission enabling mode of the transmission destination in the memory unit.

Abstract: An original document image is inputted as multi valued image data (original image data) from an input unit. The multivalued image data is binarized by a binary image generation unit. Then, layout analysis is performed based on the binary image data. Based on the layout information, a partial image having text-attribute is extracted and a partial image having non-text-attribute are extracted from the multi-valued image data. One of the partial images is encrypted, and the encrypted data is stored with the partial image that is not encrypted and the layout information.

Abstract: The present invention enables reduction in the amount of data of a document image while maintaining a layout of the document image, and enables suppression of image quality deterioration when reproducing the document image. An original document image is inputted as multivalued image data (original image data) from an image input unit. The multivalued image data is binarized by a binary image output unit. Then, layout analysis is performed based on the binary image data. With respect to text areas, character recognition is performed on the binary image, then the recognition data is outputted. With respect to non-text areas, the binary image data is used without further processing. With respect to a multivalued image, e.g., photographs or the like, the image data is compressed with an appropriate condition and stored.
