摘要:
An image data coding method for a case where image data are transmitted or filed upon being binary coded includes steps of replacing a predetermined pixel by a predicted value predicted by a plurality of pixels peripheral to the predetermined pixel, in conformance with a coded image data compression technique, and performing binary coding while dispersing an error, which is generated by the replacement, among peripheral pixels. Also provided are a variety of image data coding apparatus for practicing this image data coding method. The invention makes it possible to perform binary coding and compression of half-tone image data very efficiently.
摘要:
There is disclosed an image encoding system in which a size of an image to be encoded is inputted, reference pixel positions or the number of reference pixels are determined in accordance with an input image size, and a noticed pixel is encoded by using reference pixels of the determined pixel positions or the determined member.

An image processing apparatus such as a digital printer or digital facsimile apparatus for half tone processing input image data has: an input device to input image data indicative of a concentration of an image; a discriminating circuit to discriminate whether the input image data is smaller than a threshold value or not; a binarizing circuit to binarize the input image data into binary data of high and low levels; and a setting circuit to set the binary output of the image data to the low (0) level irrespective of the result of the binarization by the binarizing circuit when the input image data is determined to be smaller than the threshold value. The input device includes a reading circuit to read the original image and a generator to generate image data indicative of the original image concentration. When the pixel concentration to be processed by an error diffusion method is smaller than the threshold value, the error data generated for that pixel is set to 0, with the result that particles-like noises in the high contrast portion are eliminated and the encoding efficiency in highlight portions is improved. Thus, a high quality image of excellent resolution and gradations can be transmitted at a high speed.
摘要:
An image processing apparatus for digitizing an analog image by dispersing the digitizing error to the surrounding areas. The characteristics or edge of the analog image are identified, and the error dispersing area is varied according to the result of identification, thus enabling reproduction of the image with high quality regardless of the nature of the original image.

This invention provides a mechanism for making a doctor surely follow correct procedures in which the doctor confirms diagnosis information obtained by computer processing after he or she has completed interpretation. A medical diagnosis support apparatus executes diagnosis processing for acquiring medical diagnosis information from an image to be interpreted by computer processing. The medical diagnosis support apparatus accepts interpretation information as an interpretation result of the image to be interpreted, which information is input by, for example, a doctor. The medical diagnosis support apparatus calculates a degree of matching between the diagnosis information and interpretation information, and permits to present the diagnosis information acquired by the diagnosis processing when the calculated degree of matching exceeds a predetermined threshold.

A vehicle includes an engine, a motor, a battery that stores an electric power for driving the motor, and a control apparatus. The control apparatus is configured to control the engine and the motor in one of control modes, the control mode includes a charge sustaining (CS) mode and a charge depleting (CD) mode. During the CS mode, a first determination is made to determine that the engine malfunction has occurred when a number of times of abnormal combustion occurring during a current trip is equal to or larger than a threshold. During the CD mode, instead of or in addition to the first determination, a second determination is made to determine that the engine malfunction has occurred when a cumulative number of times of abnormal combustion is equal to or larger than the threshold.
