摘要:
An image compression method for encoding gradation image data for use in, for example, a printer or a copying machine handling the gradation image. When a difference between two representative values in one block E)f the image data is less than a predetermined amount, a block code made up of a single piece of gradation data and one pixel array pattern is generated. When the difference is not less than the predetermined amount, the representative values are replaced by any of sixteen substitute values, and a block code is formed to include two gray scale data each of four bits and a single pixel array pattern, thereby realizing coding compression of the image information.

An apparatus having a plurality of developing devices for forming a multiple toner picture image composed of a plurality of layer toner picture images prepared from developed latent picture images formed on an image retainer by turning the image retainer a plurality of times. In the apparatus, latent reference images of different colors are formed on regions of the image retainer based on reference signals and the plurality of developing devices are used to develop the latent reference images to form a plurality of reference toner images. The data derived from the reference toner images is used to set up the image-forming conditions for forming a latent picture image on a common region of the image retainer, based on picture image signals received by the apparatus, when the toner picture image is formed on the image retainer.This application is a continuation of U.S. Ser. No. 849,709, filed Apr. 9, 1986, now abandoned, which in turn is a division of U.S. Ser. No. 757,519, filed July 19, 1984, now abandoned.

摘要:
A developing method wherein an oscillating electric field is formed in a development area between an image retainer; and a developer feeding carrier of a composite developer containing a chargeable component, and the oscillating waveform of the oscillating electric field is varied to provide an adjustment of the development performance. Preferably, the oscillating electric field is an alternating electric field. The oscillating waveform is modified by varying the amplitude, bias, selection time for a time-selected waveform transformation, or frequency thereof.

A method of reproducing multiplex images wherein an electrostatic image is formed on an image retainer by using a common electrostatic image forming device, the electrostatic image formed on the image retainer is developed, the steps of the above are repeated to superpose a plurality of toner images on the image retainer, and the toner images is transferred on a recording paper by one step. The developings other than the first time developing are carried out in such a manner that the surface of a developer layer on a developer feeding carrier does not contact with the surface of the toner image on the image retainer.
摘要:
A three-dimensional space formed by three-channel input signals is divided into a plurality of polyhedrons having vertices at points corresponding to a conversion table. A particular polyhedron is determined which is associated with the points corresponding to the three-channel input signals. The nonlinear interpolation is carried out using the conversion data corresponding to the vertices of the intended polyhedron thus determined and the conversion data corresponding to the vertices of the polyhedrons in surface contact with the intended polyhedron.
