    摘要: 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.
