    摘要: In an image processor, image data of red, green and blue are converted to image data of lightness and chromaticities, and they are divided into pixel blocks. Then, image data of each block are compressed to data having 4 gradation levels smaller than 256 levels of the image data by generalized block truncation coding. Then a capacity of image memory can be decreased. An attribute of the image data is decided for each block according to the compressed data. The attribute can be corrected by taking attributes of adjacent blocks into account. Edition of image data such as edge emphasis can be performed according to the attributes. The compressed data are further compressed by deleting data which can be specified according to the attribute.

    摘要: In an image processor, a decider decides based on image data of pixels included in a block whether the block has character attribute of non-character attribute, a first encoder encodes the image data with block truncation coding, and a second encoder encodes the image data which have been encoded by the first encoder. For a block of character attribute, the binarized data binarized by the binarizer are encoded by the first and second encoders. For a block of non-character attribute, the image data are encoded by the first and second encoders without binarization. In a different image processor, it is decide whether image data of pixels in an area consisting of a plurality of blocks are all character, all ground or mixture of character and ground. Then, an encoder encodes the image data in each block differently according to the decision.
