摘要:
When a pixel block of a color image is coded, the coding is performed by taking the correlation between lightness and chromaticity into account. More specifically, the color data within the pixel block is separated into lightness and chromaticity. Lightness is coded by being subjected to an orthogonal transformation. The coding of chromaticity is performed by detecting the average value of chromaticity and the amplitude of chromaticity of a pixel block, calculating the ratio of chromaticity amplitude to lightness amplitude and then coding chromaticity based upon the calculated ratio and the average value of chromaticity.

An image processing apparatus previously stores information on particular kinds of image, determines the degree of similarity between an input full-color image signal and the information on particular kinds of image, controls conditions for addition of a particular pattern previously stored according to a result of the determination, and outputs an image by adding or not adding the particular pattern to the full-color image signal according to the addition conditions.
摘要:
An image processing apparatus inputs image signals by a plurality of pixels in synchronism with a predetermined clock; designates a reduction ratio of an image represented by the input image signals; cumulatively adds a value on the basis of the inverse of the designated reduction ratio in synchronism with the predetermined clock and holds a value of predetermined number of lower significant digits of the added value; and thins out and interpolates image signals input by the input means in accordance with whether or not the value held by the addition means exceeds a predetermined value.
摘要:
An image processing apparatus comprises: an input device for supplying color image information; a discrimination unit to discriminate whether the color image information includes a predetermined image or not in accordance with a color distribution of the color image information supplied by the input device; and a processing circuit to process the color image information in accordance with the result of the discrimination of the discriminating means. The color image information is constructed by a plurality of color component signals. The color distribution is a distribution of the color image information in a color space.

There is disclosed an apparatus for image reading or processing, that can precisely identify a particular pattern, such as of banknotes or securities faithful copying of which is to be prohibited. The apparatus is provided with a detecting unit for detecting positional information of an original image, and a discriminating unit for extracting the pattern data of a certain part of the original image and discriminating whether the original image is the predetermined image, based on the similarity between the pattern data and the predetermined pattern.
摘要:
An image processing apparatus judges the degree of similarity between entered image data and characterizing data of a special image (an image containing a special original such as a bank note or negotiable instrument) prepared in advance, generates data indicative of the degree of similarity and integrates similarity data in two-dimensional space while subjecting the entered image data to image processing conforming to the results of integration. For example, image data of an area for which the degree of similarity resulting from integration indicates a certain value is forcibly converted into data having maximum density.
摘要:
An image processing apparatus is provided with an input of multivalued image data, converts the inputted multivalued image data into binary image data, generates color data based upon the binary image data resulting from the conversion, judges identity between the generated color data and color data of a plurality of different specific images, and outputs the binary image data resulting from the conversion if non-identity is judged. If identity is judged to exist, however, output of the binary image data resulting from the conversion is halted.
摘要:
An image processing apparatus having a function for detecting a specific original decides the degree of similarity between the image represented by input image signals and the image of a specific original which is not to be allowed to be copied, e.g., currency. The image processing apparatus determines the content of the image processing in accordance with the result of the decision, and processes the input image signals on the basis of the determined content.
