Abstract: An edge image generating unit generates an edge image formed by edges in an original image. A connection pixel extracting unit extracts connection pixel sets in the edge image. A binary image generating unit classifies the connection pixel sets by colors and generates respective character images of the colors. A background image generating unit generates a background image of the original image. An image compressing unit compresses image data of the character images and the background image using different compressing methods. The binary image generating unit identifies which of a density reversed character, an ordinary character and non character each one of the connection pixel sets is, on the basis of luminance values of the original image on pixels at four corners of a rectangle circumscribed to the connection pixel set, and generates the character images of the density reversed character and the ordinary character.

Abstract: In an image reading device, a region securing portion secures six page regions in a storage region of a volatile memory. A first conveyance control portion permits a document sheet conveyance device to convey first three document sheets among a plurality of document sheets in response to securing of the six page regions. A data recording portion stores line image data with specified resolution in the six page regions for each page of the plurality of document sheets. An image processing portion moves the plural pieces of the line image data in sequence from the page regions to a work region, and transfers post-processing data to another device. A second conveyance control portion permits the document sheet conveyance device to convey a fourth document sheet and onward among the plurality of document sheets one at a time in sequence following conveyance of the first three document sheets.

Abstract: In an image processing device, an edge image generation part detects an edge in an original image and generates an edge image constituted from the detected edge. A connected pixel extraction part extracts connected pixel groups in the edge image. A binary image generation part classifies the connected pixel groups under respective colors of the connected pixel groups, and generates a character image for each color. A background image generation part generates a background image of the original image based on the character image so that a pixel value at the position of the character image in the original image is set by an average value of the pixel values in the original image with regard to at least a portion of pixels around a rectangle circumscribing the connected pixel groups. An image compression part compresses respective image data of the character image and background image by different compression manners.
