There is an image processing apparatus to perform an image editing process such as to extract a part of an image or to synthesize a plurality of images. This apparatus comprises: an image information generator to generate image information; an area information generator to generate area information to extract a desired area of the image information; a coding circuit to compress and code the area information; a memory to store the area information which was compressed and coded by the coding circuit; a decoder to decode the area information in the memory; and an extracting circuit to extract the desired area of the image information on the basis of the area information which was decoded by the decoder. The coding circuit codes the area information on a unit basis of n.times.m pixels by use of a coding look-up table. The decoder also decodes the area information by use of a decoding look-up table. The image information is separated into lightness information and shape information on a unit basis of n.times.m pixels and stored. Thus, the capacity of the memory can be reduced.

In a semiconductor laser optical system which uses a light source a semiconductor laser having different diverging points and divergence angles in orthogonal directions and in which the light beam from the light source is imaged on a scanned surface, only a spherical surface optical system is provided between the semiconductor laser and the scanned surface. The spherical surface optical system includes two partial optical systems, i.e. a first image forming optical system and a second image forming optical system as viewed from the light source side. By selecting the optical constant of one of the two image forming optical systems to a predetermined value, the peak power of the image forming spot on the scanned surface is maximized.

Two-dimensional scanning apparatus scans a stationary two-dimensional surface with a first deflector and a second deflector which deflects a light beam in a direction perpendicular to the deflecting direction of said first deflector. An afocal optical system is provided between said first and second deflectors, while an imaging lens system is provided between said second deflector and the scanning surface. Said first deflector, afocal optical system and imaging lens system cooperate to displace the light beam at a constant speed in a principal scanning direction on the scanning surface, while said second deflector and imaging lens system cooperate to displace the light beam at a constant speed in an auxiliary scanning direction on said surface.

The disclosure describes a scanning optical system in which the scanning beam from a light source is deflected by a beam deflecting device to scan the scanning plane through a scanning beam focusing lens. The scanning optical system comprises a member disposed between the beam deflecting device and the focusing lens for reflecting a part of the scanning beam a plurality of times within the member so as to take up part of the beam as an information beam.
摘要:
A quantizing unit, error detector, error diffusion matrix, and adder quantize a pixel of interest of an input image by an error diffusion method. A calculation unit and gain adjuster calculate a value to be added to the pixel of interest with reference to quantized pixels. The adder adds the calculated value to the pixel of interest. A control unit controls the calculation of the gain adjuster.
