An image processor includes an image memory which stores compressed and coded image data representing an image, the compressed and coded image data includes first data representing the image with a low resolution and second data representing the image with a high resolution. A generating unit generates image data of the low resolution and image data of the high resolution, by decoding the compressed and coded image data stored in the image memory. Area data is provided representing a partial area of the image, the area data including first area data representing the partial area with the low resolution and second area data representing the partial area with the high resolution. A first processor processes the image data of the low resolution generated by the generating unit in accordance with the provided first area data of the low resolution. A second processor processes the image data of the high resolution generated by the generating unit in accordance with the provided second area data and prints an image on the basis of the processed image data of the high resolution.

摘要:
There is an image processing apparatus to perform an image editing process such as to extract a part of an image or to synthesize a plurality of images. This apparatus comprises: an image information generator to generate image information; an area information generator to generate area information to extract a desired area of the image information; a coding circuit to compress and code the area information; a memory to store the area information which was compressed and coded by the coding circuit; a decoder to decode the area information in the memory; and an extracting circuit to extract the desired area of the image information on the basis of the area information which was decoded by the decoder. The coding circuit codes the area information on a unit basis of n.times.m pixels by use of a coding look-up table. The decoder also decodes the area information by use of a decoding look-up table. The image information is separated into lightness information and shape information on a unit basis of n.times.m pixels and stored. Thus, the capacity of the memory can be reduced.

A figure processing apparatus includes a pointing device or keyboard for extracting an outline figure from image data, a memory for storing the outline figure as shape and position data of a primitive figure and displacement data from the primitive figure, and a figure operation device for changing the displacement data to modify the outline figure to create a new outline figure.
摘要:
An image processing system for use in a copying machine or a facsimile machine includes an original-image reading device which allows an operator to check the state of a read image before the read image is printed out or transmitted. The original image read by a reading section is temporarily stored in a recording section. Image data on the stored image is accessed and displayed on a display screen at high speed under direct memory access control.
摘要:
In a memory-to-memory data transfer apparatus, each of a plurality of memories connected to a memory bus is sequentially selected, and data which occupy predetermined positions in the data read from the selected memory are combined into a set of data. The set of data is sequentially written while addresses in the remaining memory is being updated. Alternatively, a plurality of sets of data are sequentially read out while addresses in a memory are being updated, and data which occupy predetermined positions in the read data are combined into a set of data. The set of data is written while the remaining memories are being sequentially selected. The apparatus may have a plurality of memories connected to a data bus and address generators for generating unique addresses for each of the memories in accordance with a predetermined synchronizing signal. The apparatus, in preferred form, effects transfer of data in thinned-out form or phase-divided form by shifting a generated address or by adding a predetermined value to the address.
摘要:
An image processing system in which an original to be transmitted to a destination system is input and is stored in a memory section, and the image in accordance with the data stored in the memory section is displayed by a display section. The operator designates a desired region of the displayed image. The partial image thereby designated is transferred to the destination system. It is thereby possible to transmit only a particular portion of the original image to the destination system.
