摘要:
An image forming apparatus according to an embodiment of the invention reads an original by mechanically moving an axial light source in a subscanning direction perpendicular to the axis. The image forming apparatus includes: a sensor whose resolution in a main scanning direction parallel to the axis of the axial light source is higher than a designated resolution; a controller that controls the driving speed of the axial light source so that the resolution in the subscanning direction is higher than the designated resolution; an original-image-data generating unit that generates original image data with a resolution higher than the designated resolution in response to the output from the sensor; and an image reducing unit that generates reduced pixels fewer than a specified number of pixels in the original image data to generate a reduced image with a resolution equal to the designated resolution.

A method and apparatus of forming an image includes reading an original with a first resolution. An original is read with a second resolution which is different from said first resolution. The image information read with the first resolution and the second resolution is converted into image information of a third resolution for image forming. An image is formed with the third resolution based on the image information converted by the conversion.

A coding and/or decoding system for an image including bit-sops of different levels, is provided in an image recoding system which recodes bit-map data including small-level bit-map data and multilevel bit-map data in an image memory and which read the bit-map data out of the image memory to recode an image. In this coding and/or decoding system, after small-level bit-map data and multilevel bit-map data are divided into blocks, each of which is composed of a plurality of picture elements, the divided small-level bit-map data and the divided multilevel bit-map data are inputted to small-level bit-map data coding section and multilevel bit-map data coding section, respectively. The small-level bit-map data are transformed into codes representative of the number of black or white and half-tone picture elements in the block, and the multilevel bit-map data are transformed into codes representative of the average value or the total in the block. These data are assigned to different codes of digital data written in the image memory, respectively, so as to provide an image recoding system which can effectively reduce the capacity of a page memory for storing an image information and which can recode an image including small-level and multilevel.
摘要:
An image recording system for deriving a recorded image from an image signal by producing a positional-deviation amount indicative signal representative of a positional deviation in a sub-scanning direction of a scanning line forming a recorded image. The system corrects the positional deviation of the scanning line on the basis of the positional-deviation amount indicative signal. The system also corrects a density deviation of a recorded image due to the correction of the positional deviation on the basis of a pixel pattern of the image signal. A method is also provided for detecting a relative positional deviation between images of different colors in a color image recording system.
