    摘要: An image data coding method for a case where image data are transmitted or filed upon being binary coded includes steps of replacing a predetermined pixel by a predicted value predicted by a plurality of pixels peripheral to the predetermined pixel, in conformance with a coded image data compression technique, and performing binary coding while dispersing an error, which is generated by the replacement, among peripheral pixels. Also provided are a variety of image data coding apparatus for practicing this image data coding method. The invention makes it possible to perform binary coding and compression of half-tone image data very efficiently.

    摘要: An image processing apparatus such as a digital printer or digital facsimile apparatus for half tone processing input image data has: an input device to input image data indicative of a concentration of an image; a discriminating circuit to discriminate whether the input image data is smaller than a threshold value or not; a binarizing circuit to binarize the input image data into binary data of high and low levels; and a setting circuit to set the binary output of the image data to the low (0) level irrespective of the result of the binarization by the binarizing circuit when the input image data is determined to be smaller than the threshold value. The input device includes a reading circuit to read the original image and a generator to generate image data indicative of the original image concentration. When the pixel concentration to be processed by an error diffusion method is smaller than the threshold value, the error data generated for that pixel is set to 0, with the result that particles-like noises in the high contrast portion are eliminated and the encoding efficiency in highlight portions is improved. Thus, a high quality image of excellent resolution and gradations can be transmitted at a high speed.

    摘要: There is provided an image processing apparatus which handles an image as a digital signal, comprising: an input device to input image data indicative of a concentration of an image; a binarization circuit to binarize the input image data; a positive/negative state detection circuit to detect whether error data generated when the image data is binarized by the binarization circuit is in a positive state or a negative state; and a selector to select whether the error data generated upon binarization is to be corrected or not, on the basis of the positive or negative state of the error data. The input device has a generator to read an original and generate an analog image signal and a converter to convert the analog image signal into the digital image data. The error data is the difference between the input image data and the binary data produced by the binarization circuit. With this apparatus, an image of a good picture quality can be obtained by improving the error diffusion method as a halftone processing method. Even when portions of high and low concentrations in an original are very close to each other, the blanking phenomenon, wherein no dot is printed in the low concentration area near the boundary between those portions, and the consequent problem that the reproduced image lacks its proper content can be prevented.

    摘要: A half-tone image is produced by scanning a plurality of input points of an original, outputting a screened image having a plurality of black and white dots and transmitting signals representing the screened image to a marking device. The size of each plurality of dots is determined from a recursive relationship between a value of a current input point, a previous output and an error representing a difference between a value of a previous input point and the previous output.

    摘要: There is an image processing apparatus for digitally processing an image. This apparatus comprises: a binarization circuit to binarize image data by a predetermined threshold value; a processor to correct errors generated in binarization; a first detector to detect an edge direction of the image from the image data; and a second detector to detect an edge quantum of the image from the image data. The process corrects the error data in accordance with the edge direction detected by the first detector or the edge quantum detected by the second detector. The errors to be corrected by the processor are the errors between the output concentration data after the binarization and the image concentration data. The processor adds weight coefficients to the error data in a predetermined range stored in a memory and then adds the weighted error data to image data to be newly binarized. The sum of the weight coefficients which are used in the weighting process is set to "1". With this apparatus, a high quality apparatus can be reproduced with a high fidelity from an original including many edges.
