    Abstract: The present invention provides an image processing device able to compress the information volume of attribute data by vectorizing the attribute data. A transmitting image processing device includes an attribute separating unit that extracts attribute data from image data, a vectorization processing unit that vectorizes the attribute data extracted by the attribute separating unit, and a transmission unit that transmits, to another device, the vectorized attribute data that was vectorized by the vectorization processing unit together with the image data. A receiving image processing device includes a receiving unit that receives the image data and the vectorized attribute data that was obtained by vectorizing the original attribute data, as well as a RIP unit that restores attribute data from the vectorized attribute data in order to accurately restore the attribute data that was vectorized.

    Abstract: An object of this invention is to increase the encoding efficiency of attribute data of each pixel of image data by using the fact that the probability that the attribute flag data of adjacent pixels have the same bit position is higher than the probability that the attribute flag data of adjacent pixels have the same value. In the first phase, to encode 32×32 attribute data having a size of 8 bits corresponding to one pixel, input attribute data is directly output to an encoding unit and encoded. In the second phase, “7” is set in a variable i as the initial value. Eight attribute data are input. Eight-bit data including bits i is generated and output to the encoding unit. The data of bits 7 of 32×32 attribute data are encoded. After that, the variable i is changed to “6”, and the same process described above is executed. This process is repeated until the variable i reaches 0. The amounts of encoded data generated in the first and second phases are compared. Data with a smaller amount is selected and output.

    Abstract: A system authenticates an original hardcopy document using a digital signature generation system and a digital signature verification system. Initially, the original hardcopy document is scanned to provide a bitmap image to the signature generation system. The bitmap image is highly compressed by the signature generation system using compression schemes such as MPEG (for gray images) or a low-fidelity symbol based compression scheme (for bi-level images). A signed hardcopy document is then printed that includes the bitmap image and an authentication token. The authentication token is encoded in the signed hardcopy document using either serpentine halftone patterns or data glyphs. The authenticity of the signed hardcopy document is verified by inputting a scanned bitmap image of the signed hardcopy document into the signature verification system. Once received, the signature verification system decodes, authenticates, and decompresses the bitmap image to define decompressed image data. The decompressed image data is then output to a display or printer and compared with the signed hardcopy document to determine whether it is authentic.

    Abstract: Systems, methods and storage mediums are disclosed for processing images and two-dimensional barcodes for two-way verification of document data. In one exemplary embodiment, image data of a document is obtained, processed and rendered into a barcode for incorporation into a reproduction of an original image of the document. The resolution of the barcode may be higher than the resolution of the original image which allows the size of the barcode to be reduced. Moreover, the amount of data associated with the original image may be decreased which allows for smaller data storage requirements and faster data transfer of the document.

    Abstract: A method of image forming comprises the steps of: converting image data into coded data with a code string using a coding key; forming a small pattern string on a sheet of printing paper by printing small patterns, each small pattern corresponding to a code constructing the coded data; recording a coding key or data corresponding to the coding key on a recording medium combined with the printing paper; advising a user to input a decoding key; reading out recorded data from the recording medium; determining whether the decoding key corresponds with the recorded data; scanning the small pattern string recorded on the printing paper when the decoding key corresponds with the recoded data; converting the small pattern string scanned from the printing paper into the code string; decoding the code string into the original image data using the decoding key; and printing an image on a sheet of printing paper based on the image data.
