A laser beam controller comprises a basic pulse signal generating circuit, a delay circuit, a delay control circuit, a pulse generating circuit and a laser beam generator. The basic pulse signal generating circuit generates periodically occurring basic pulse signal. The delay circuit delays the basic pulse signal. The delay control circuit controls the delay time of the basic pulse in the delay circuit according to image data. The pulse generating circuit generates an output pulse having a width corresponding to the delay time of the basic pulse signal. The laser beam generator generates a laser beam for a duration corresponding to the width of the output pulse by said pulse generating circuit. According to the controller, any desired gradation of a pixel of the image is desirably produced.

A skew processing circuit 33 includes two line buffers, a skew processing type line buffer 331 and an original type line buffer 332, and a write/read control circuit 333 for controlling the two line buffers. The write/read control circuit 333 is a control circuit for writing a given image data in the line buffers 331, 332 in single lines and selectively reading the data written in the two line buffers 331, 332. When an image data is written in the original type line buffer 332, addressed are sequentially written from the head address 0. On the other hand, when the image data is written in the skew processing type line buffer 331, a write start address RH0 is determined in correspondence with a skew angle, and the write start address RH0 is shifted in each line to discard the head portion of the image data by specified dots (specified addresses). Thus, by controlling the writing of data in the two line buffers 331, 332 and reading data from them, an image in an arbitrary area can be processed into the skew with an arbitrary angle.

An image processor performs emphasis processings suitable for materials to be copied to produce clear copy outputs. The image processor has a digitizing circuit which outputs a digital signal produced by digitizing an image. The processor further has a first detecting circuit which detects an area of the digital signal including a periodic component, a second detecting circuit which detects a character area of the digital signal, and a smoothing circuit which smoothes the digital signal to output a smoothed signal. Either the digital signal or the smoothed signal is selected and outputted by a changeover circuit according to an output of the first detecting circuit. The output of the changeover circuit is differentiated into a plurality of differentiated signals by a differentiating circuit by use of a plurality of different coefficients. One of the differentiated signals is selected and outputted according to the outputs of the first and second detecting circuits.

Disclosed is an apparatus for detecting pixels in a dotted image area (dotted area pixels). Image data corresponding to each of the pixels is coded into one of a predetermined number of discrete values. The distance between change points at which the value of the pixel after the coding is changed from a first value to a second value is detected. Further, it is examined whether or not periodicity is recognized in the distance between the change points in the vicinity of a target pixel. If periodicity is recognized in the distance between the change points, it is judged that the target pixel may constitute a dotted image area.

A color image is by an optical scanner for conversion into three primary color data corresponding to the respective densities of the three primary colors. An edge detector detects a pixel of an edge based on the three primary color data. A pixel color judging device judges a color of a target pixel based on the three primary color data of the target pixel and its adjacent pixels. Based on edge detection results of the edge detector and pixel color judgment results of the pixel color judging device, detected is a pixel of a black edge. Judgement conditions for the pixel color judgement are established based upon characteristics that depend upon the order of arrangement of color filters in a scanner.

An apparatus for and a method of judging a dotted image area using a small-capacity memory. Image data corresponding to one line out of image data representing an original image are stored in a line memory. On the line corresponding to the image data stored in the line memory, a target pixel is successively set along the main scanning direction. Image data corresponding to the target pixel is compared with image data corresponding to pixels around the target pixel. It is judged whether or not the target pixel is a peculiar point pixel on the basis of the result of the comparison. Further, the distance between peculiar point pixels is operated. The operated distance between the peculiar point pixels is referred to a predetermined judgment basis, to judge whether or not a judging area including the finite number of pixels is a dotted image area.

The enlargement/reduction signal generating apparatus is an apparatus for generating reading clock pulses and writing clock pulses to enlarge or reduce the image of digital data stored in a storing means. The apparatus may be disposed in an image processing unit for processing image information. The image processing unit may be used as a unit which receives image information from an optical unit, enlarges or reduces the image information, and outputs the enlarged/reduced image information to an image forming part, in a copying machine having a scanner and a printer. The copying machine may be a digital copying machine having a laser unit.

In an image forming apparatus including a digital image processing device, an overlay memory stores predetermined image data. The image data stored in the overlay memory is read at a predetermined timing in a predetermined cycle and composite data is made from the image data and image data outputted from a line memory. Since the image data stored in the overlay memory is read at the predetermined timing in the predetermined cycle, various kinds of overlaid image which may include a space-magnified image can be made by arbitrarily selecting the timing and cycle for reading.
摘要:
An apparatus for and a method of detecting a dotted image area in an image. It is judged on the basis of image data corresponding to pixels in a first judging area which includes a predetermined number of pixels including a target pixel whether or not the target pixel is a peculiar point pixel (a peak pixel or a dip pixel). Further, it is judged on the basis of image data corresponding to pixels in a second judging area which is larger than the first judging area whether or not the target pixel is a peculiar point pixel. The dotted image area in the image is detected on the basis of the results of judgment related to the first judging area and the second judging area.
