An image processing apparatus comprising: an input portion that inputs image data of a plurality of pages of document; a password detector that detects a password given to each of the pages; a password judger that judges from the detecting results drew by the password detector whether or not different passwords are detected from each of the pages; a correlation judger that judges about each of the pages if the password judger judges that different passwords are detected from each of the pages, whether or not the passwords are correlated to each other; and an output permitting portion that permits the image data of all the pages, which are the image data inputted by the input portion, to be outputted without requesting entry of all passwords, if it is judged about each of the pages that the passwords are correlated to each other, on the other hand, requests entry of a password about each of the pages if it is judged about at least one of the pages that the passwords are not correlated to each other, then permits the image data of a certain page to be outputted, if an appropriate password is entered about that page.

An image reading apparatus includes, with the purpose of accurately correcting noise in an image due to dust on a platen, three line sensors spaced from each other in a sub scanning direction to scan an original in the sub scanning direction, a platen between the original and the three line sensors, a moving mechanism for moving the platen, a noise detection processor detecting a noise pixels from each of multiple data output from the three line sensors, a selector selecting one of a plurality of search ranges defined with reference to the noise pixel, and a corrector extracting a reference pixel for correcting the noise pixel from the selected search range to correct the noise pixel based on the value of the extracted reference pixel.

An apparatus, a method and a system for image processing with a color correction device are provided in which the number of times of automatic execution of calibration is reduced and the performance of an image output apparatus is used adequately. The apparatus includes a color space conversion portion 110 for converting input image data D1 into data D1s of a standard color space and a reproduction range decision portion 111 for deciding whether the input image data D1s that were converted into the standard color space are within a reference range of a color reproduction in an image output. If it is decided that the input image data are out of the reference range, the calibration is performed so that the color reproduction range is made close to the reference range.

An image processing apparatus reducing image noise caused at a device which has a stationary reading portion such as a CCD sensor and reads an image of a document by moving the document is structured as follows: the image processing apparatus determines whether full color image data read by the reading portion is out of a predetermined color space; it uses shift resisters to determine that the image data out of the predetermined color space continues in a sub scanning direction; and thus it detects a line-shaped dirt image caused by dirt or the like at the reading portion, and corrects the dirt image.

An image forming apparatus automatically identifying top and bottom of document image based on characteristics with regard to shapes or positions of data, etc. recorded on document. Distribution states of pixel cumulative values in main scanning direction and sub scanning direction of image signals provided by scanning the document, are analyzed and top and bottom of the document image is identified from the result of analysis. Further, it is possible to identify the top and bottom of the document image by analyzing the distribution states the pixel cumulative values in the main scanning direction and the sub scanning direction of the image signals and identifying letter series regions and line segment regions displaced therefrom. In addition thereto, it is possible to automatically identify the top and bottom of the document image based on distribution states in the main scanning direction and the sub scanning direction of specific signs included in the image signals provided by scanning the document or distribution states of pixel cumulative values of specific image regions including the specific signs.
摘要:
An image reading apparatus is provided which is capable of correctly reproducing a read image, by correcting variation in read data derived from variation in light intensity and variation in sensitivity, using reading means capable of logarithmic conversion such as an LOG CCD. As variation in read data caused by insufficient light intensity in a shade region of an original is corrected, even when there is a shade in an original image having halftone gradation, satisfactory image reproduction is possible. Since variation in read data caused by insufficient light intensity at the time of zooming is corrected, image quality is not degraded even when electrical zooming is performed. Further, variation in read data caused by fluctuation in light intensity, variation in photosensitivity and types of original is corrected, AD conversion with uniform resolution is possible even when output levels differ because of light distribution variation of a light source or variation in sensitivity of sensors.
