摘要:
A coding apparatus divides digital image information into pixel blocks each having a size of m.times.n pixels, and subjects the image information to vector quantization in block units. The pixel blocks are orthogonally transformed and the characteristics and sequency components of the pixel blocks are detected. Each pixel block is divided into a plurality of sub-blocks in conformity with the detected sequency components. Respective ones of the plurality of divided and outputted sub-blocks are scalar-quantized into sub-vectors of a predetermined number of bits in conformity with the characteristics of the pixel blocks. Respective ones of the scalar-quantized values of the quantized sub-blocks are vector-quantized in conformity with the characteristics of the pixel blocks, these vector-quantized reproduction vector codes are combined and the result is subjected to further vector quantization.

An image reduction system which reduces binary level images is disclosed. In the system, a reduction pixel value is determined by using, as reference pixels for a filter operation: a plurality of surrounding pixels including an object pixel to be reduced; and reduced pixels, from among pixels which have already been reduced, said reduced pixels being at least a reduced pixel located before the pixel to be determined: a reduced pixel, located on the preceding line, which lies directly above the pixel to be determined; and a reduced pixel before said reduced pixel located on the preceding line.When a pixel referenced during the filter operation is included in a specific pattern, an exception process for correcting binary level results is provided.

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.
摘要:
A color image reading apparatus having a color sensor with plural sensor groups, the color sensor for separating an objective image into plural color components and for converting the plural color components into plural color component signals, and a shading corrector for performing shading correction for the plural color component signals. The shading corrector causes the plural sensor groups to substantially simultaneously read a reference plate and automatically corrects a shading correction state for each of the plural color component signals in accordance with data obtained from the plural sensor groups.

A halftone image recording apparatus includes means for recording an image on a recording medium, inputting an image signal representative of an image which includes a plurality of density levels, generating a plurality of pulsed periodic signals having different widths of one period of the image signal, selecting at least one periodic signal with a preselected pulse width among a plurality of the periodic signals, combining the selected periodic signal with the image signal, and applying the combined signal to the recording means.
摘要:
A color image processing apparatus comprising an input unit which receives a plurality of color component signals in parallel. A color correction device receives the plurality of color component signals and a signals representing the kind of a corrected color signal and outputs a selected kind of corrected color signal in order to sequentially obtain different corrected color signals for respective colors from the plurality of color component signals. A color image forming device forms respective color images sequentially using the corrected color signals output from the color correction device.
