摘要： An image of a document is divided into a plurality of areas, and a reliability is obtained for each area for a case where an image of the area is used in orientation detection. The reliability is obtained from characteristics of the shape of a histogram generated from image data of the area, as follows. The histogram is divided into a plurality of sections, and an MTF value is calculated for each section by dividing a difference of the max and min values of the section by the sum of the max and min values. A mean value of the MTF values calculated for all of the sections of the histogram is set as the reliability of the area. The orientation detection processing is performed on the area whose reliability is the highest, and an orientation result obtained through the orientation detection processing is judged as the orientation of the image of the document.

摘要： An image processing apparatus is provided with a binarization processing unit separately from a pseudo gradation processing unit that binarizes image data of a document image according to an error diffusion method. The binarization processing unit binarizes the image data of the document image using a threshold that is set higher than a threshold used by the pseudo gradation processing unit, with each threshold representing a different predetermined density level. Histograms showing the density distribution of the document image are generated from the image data binarized by the binarization processing unit. The orientation of the document image is recognized by the histograms.

摘要： In an image processor, multi-level image data are divided into blocks, and compressed in the unit of block. The compressed multi-level image data of a block are converted to compressed bi-level image data without expanding the multi-level image data. For example, the compressed multi-level image data on an image of uniform density are converted to compressed bi-level image data expressed with area gradation. In another image processor, the compressed multi-level image data of a block are converted to compressed multi-level image data, without expanding the multi-level image data. For example, the compressed multi-level image data on an image of bi-level image expressed with area gradation are converted to compressed multi-level image data of a half-tone image.

摘要： In an image processor, a decider decides based on image data of pixels included in a block whether the block has character attribute of non-character attribute, a first encoder encodes the image data with block truncation coding, and a second encoder encodes the image data which have been encoded by the first encoder. For a block of character attribute, the binarized data binarized by the binarizer are encoded by the first and second encoders. For a block of non-character attribute, the image data are encoded by the first and second encoders without binarization. In a different image processor, it is decide whether image data of pixels in an area consisting of a plurality of blocks are all character, all ground or mixture of character and ground. Then, an encoder encodes the image data in each block differently according to the decision.

摘要： Image distortion is corrected in a color printer wherein print units for a plurality of colors are aligned to form a color image by superposing images formed by the print units. Images of the colors of a predetermined pattern formed by the print units are detected by a sensor. Based on the detection result, image distortion quantities and a setting error of the position of the sensor are detected. Then, the detected color shift on image forming is corrected according to the image distortion quantities and the setting error.
