    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.

    摘要: There are image processing method and apparatus for use in digital copying apparatuses, facsimile apparatuses, etc. which handle an image signal. This apparatus comprises an edge detector to detect the edge portion of the image signal, a smoothing circuit to smooth the image signal, an edge emphasizer to emphasize the edge of the image signal, and a mixer to mix the output of the smoothing circuit and the output of the edge emphasizer. A mixture ratio of the output of the smoothing circuit and the output of the edge emphasizer is varied in response to the output of the edge detector. The edge detection of the edge detector is performed due to the linear differentiation. With this apparatus, the moire in the case of a mesh original image is removed and the characters and line drawings can be reproduced with a high degree of fidelity.
