    摘要: In an image processing method for correcting a target pixel using emphasizing and smoothing components, a microcomputer stores the input image signal into an image memory, and generates the enhancement coefficient k data in the enhancement coefficient table memory using a function with an input/output characteristic whereby the output is a simple increasing value when the input is approximately zero. Using a first difference, which is the difference of the target pixel signal minus the signal of the reference pixel positioned on a first direction, the enhancement coefficient k is obtained by referencing the enhancement coefficient table, and the target pixel is enhanced proportionally to the enhancement coefficient k and the first difference. The target pixel is also gradated or smoothed in proportion to the enhancement coefficient k and the second difference, which is the target pixel signal minus the average of the signals of the second and third reference pixels, which are the reference pixels in the directions perpendicular to the first direction and on opposite sides of the target pixel. The target pixel signal is corrected by repeating this process for each of the reference pixels positioned on the four directions surrounding the target pixel, and the corrected image signal is stored to the image memory. The enhanced image signal is obtained by repeating this process for all input image signals.

    摘要: An image contour enhancing device for enhancing contours in images in an image data formed by a plurality of pixel data includes differentiation circuits for differentiating the image data to produce first and second order differentiation signals. The first order differentiation signal represents an image data portion corresponding to front and rear edges of the contour, and the second order differentiation signal represents first and second half portions in each of the front and rear edges of the contour.

    摘要: A thermal head drive unit comprises electric power supply means for supplying electric power to heat-generating resistor elements arranged in a line in a thermal head. Head drive means is provided for electrically driving the heat-generating resistor elements in a lump by supplying electric power continuously variably in time to the heat-generating resistor elements depending on input gradation data. Head drive control means controls the head drive means in such a manner that, in a one-line recording time period composed of a power supply time during which electric power is supplied to the heat-generating resistor elements and an intermission time during which no electric power is supplied to the heat-generating resistor elements in disregard of the gradation data, the intermission time occupies a part not more than approximately 40% in the one-line recording time period.
