An image processing apparatus has an adjusting mode which enables determination of a magnification correction value. A predetermined image on a test chart placed on an original table or an image of a chart fixed outside the valid image area are read, and the proper correction value for compensating for any variation in the image magnitude within a scanning system is computed based on the results of reading the test chart image. Subsequently, a printing system is operated to print test chart data read from a memory and the image printed in accordance with the test chart data is read by the scanner system which has been corrected, the result of the reading being used in computing the magnification correction value for compensating for any magnification variation occurring in the printer system.

An image forming apparatus is provided with a first sheet enclosing unit to enclose sheets in a first direction, a second sheet enclosing unit to enclose sheets in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, an image forming unit to form an image onto the sheet fed from either one of the first and second sheet enclosing units, a sorter having a plurality of bins for enclosing the sheet on which the image was formed by the image forming unit, and a judging unit to judge an enclosing state of the sheet of each bin of the sorter. The image forming unit selects either one of the first and second sheet enclosing units on the basis of the result of the judgment of the judging unit and allows the selected sheet enclosing unit to feed the sheet.

An image processor rotates an image in conformity with the orientation of an original, thereby enhancing user convenience. An original conveyed by an automatic conveyance device is read by an image reader and the image is stored in an image memory. A character in the stored image is subsequently recognized by a character recognition unit and the orientation of the character is discriminated. The image is rotated by an image editor in conformity with a stapling position, and the rotated image is recorded by an image recording unit. Sheets of paper on which images are recorded are stapled at the stapling position by a staple provided in a sorter.

The apparatus reads an original by an image reader, and if it recognizes caption(s) included in the original, stores a page number of the original into a memory, thereafter, performs copying based on the stored page number such that the original page including the caption is transferred onto the front side of a recording sheet.

A method and apparatus for recognizing character information in an original document with high recognition accuracy regardless of the size of a character to be recognized. An input image is processed by an image processing circuit and stored in an image recording unit. A character region in the recorded image data is detected by a recognition section, and the image corresponding to the detected character region is read with a predetermined magnification. Character recognition is performed on the image of the character region read at the predetermined magnification, in the recognition section. If the recognition accuracy does not satisfy a predetermined criterion, the same image is read again with a modified magnification wherein the magnification is determined on the basis of preset sizes and the size of the character pattern of a character to be recognized. The image obtained in this way is subjected again to character recognition processing until the recognition accuracy satisfies the predetermined criterion. A character pattern corresponding to the recognized character is generated, and recorded together with the image recorded in the image recording unit in an image recording section. Thus, an image is read with a magnification optimized depending on a character size of an original document image and on a recognition accuracy.

A sheet feeding apparatus that is capable of driving a motor without causing step-out even when a cheap PM type stepping motor is used for a sheet feeding unit. A sheet feeding unit includes a tray that stacks sheets, a sheet feeding mechanism that conveys the sheets, a lifting mechanism that lifts the tray, a stepping motor that drives the sheet feeding mechanism and the lifting mechanism, and a switching mechanism that switches an operation of the sheet feeding mechanism and an operation of the lifting mechanism according to a rotating direction of the stepping motor. A control unit changes the number of pulses of initialization of the stepping motor according to whether the sheet to be fed is a sheet after excitation current for the stepping motor is switched on from off and whether the lifting mechanism operates after feeding a previous sheet.

To make it possible, in a robot apparatus that performs actions in response to external environment, to distinguish the image of a part of its own body contained in three dimensional data of the external environment. A robot 1 includes a visual sensor 101 to visually recognize external environment, an environment restoration portion 102 to create three dimensional data of the external environment based on the information acquired by the visual sensor 101, and a body estimation portion 104 to determine whether or not an image of the body of the robot apparatus 1 is contained in the three dimensional data, and to specify, when the image of the body of the robot apparatus 1 is determined to be contained in the three dimensional data, an area occupied by the image of the body of the robot apparatus 1 in the three dimensional data.

A remote control transmitter for operating an electronic appliance with an infrared ray, which is easy-to-operate and inexpensive. The remote control transmitter does not change the illumination of an illuminating device even when an operation key is manipulated. The remote control transmitter has a voltage control circuit including a diode having substantially the same power consumption as an infrared ray output means, and a control transistor connected parallel to the diode for turning on and off according to the electric signal from a microcomputer. Since a current flowing in the diode is controlled by the control transistor, a constant voltage is always applied to the driving circuit for lighting up the illuminating device regardless of an manipulation of the operation key.
