An image transcribing system for transferring an image from an original document to a recording sheet in which the original image is scanned, converted to binary signals and stored in a first page memory. An image processing section transfers the image data from the first page memory to a second page memory while it is simultaneously enlarged by a predetermined factor. In the enlargement process, the image data is first enlarged by an integer factor then reduced by a fractional factor in accordance with stored bit patterns corresponding to the required fractional factor.

Method and apparatus for eliminating noise in a digitally recorded visual image wherein the proportion of picture elements in an area surrounding an objective area having a first visual level or component is determined and the objective area concluded as having the same visual level or component when the proportion is above a predetermined value. In one embodiment, both picture elements in the surrounding and objective areas are counted to determine the proportion while in another only those picture elements in the surrounding area are counted.

The image converting system including an image input step or apparatus for converting an original document information into electric image signals an inputting them, an image processing step or apparatus for processing the original document information supplied by the image input step in a predetermined process or order to provide converted image signals different from the original image, and a recording step or apparatus for recording the image on a recording medium in accordance with the image signals derived from the image processing step thereby recording a pattern materially different from the original image on the recording medium or displaying same on an indicator. The converted image signals may be obtained by the use of a coding or scrambling signal and an Exclusive OR operation. Line shifting may be employed. The original image may also be divided into a number of grid components and mixed in accordance with the coding rule.

A rectangular pattern recognition device is disclosed which operates to recognize and note the position of solid-line rectangles drawn on an input form, document, or the like. The apparatus first recognizes vertical and horizontal line segments and then discriminates the areas which lie within the joined segments. The device may further be provided with code or symbol recognition means which can discriminate symbols, e.g. an optional numbering of the rectangles from the other line segments forming the rectangles.

Apparatus for producing and reproducing embedded patterns in which a character or the like including a pattern which is not observable macroscopically can be differentiated from the other formats microscopically. An input unit reads a normal original image pattern utilizing a raster scanning system. In the apparatus for producing the format, a processing unit includes a gate which receives a signal from the input means and passes or blocks the signal in accordance with the desired embedded pattern. An output unit records the image using the raster scanning system. In the apparatus for reproducing the format, a processing unit includes a gate which blocks or passes an input signal depending on whether or not it contains the embedded pattern.

An apparatus for producing a contour line pattern image from an original image such as a character or the like recorded in binary format in a memory couples image element points equidistantly isolated from edges of the original image and thereby forms a contour line pattern curve. The coupling of the equidistant points and the formation of the contour line pattern curve in the contour line pattern image are repeatedly carried out. Smudged areas of the contour line pattern image are detected and eliminated and missing portions of the contour line pattern image are regenerated.

A character shaping device includes a tablet or the like upon which characters are written or drawn, and a device for determing distribution functions for the character as projected in the x- and y-directions. From this information the "center of gravity" of the character is calculated, and the x- and y-dimensions of the character are detected to determine the character area. The image is then centered within a normalization area and enlarged or reduced in size according to scale factors dependent upon the relative dimensions of the character area and the normalization area, to obtain a well balanced and sized character which may then be printed along with other characters to form sentences on a printed document or the like.

A picture printing device and method for printing pictures using a main scan and a sub scan. A first comparison means counts the number of picture elements in a main-scanning direction and compares that number with a first value preset in the first comparison means. A second comparison means counts the number of scanning lines in a sub-scanning direction and compares that number with a second value preset in the second comparison means. A printer records predetermined signals in response to combinations of the outputs of the first and second comparison means.

An oblique projection original is formed by deforming an orthogonal projection original in such a manner that a rectangular original is transformed into a trapezoidal original by compressing the orthogonal projection original by thinning scanning lines in a horizontal direction. In addition, predetermined bits in each scanning line are thinned in a vertical direction, and each line is compressed by reducing first and last portions of each line by half the number of bits thus thinned. Finally, white bits are inserted at the first and last portions of each scanning line to complete each scanning line.

A document processing method is disclosed wherein blank forms are read by an image input device, and the format thereof is stored in a memory. Additional information for filling in the form is input in the same manner, and the information is electronically overlaid using a control device for the memory, so that a completed form is stored in the memory for output by a printing device. With the invention, once the blank form is input to the device, further blank forms are unnecessary.
