摘要:
Documents are read and the read image data and the information about the size of the document is stored in a memory. A factor of enlargement/reduction is calculated based on the stored size information. An image processor 204 interpolates the image data based on the calculated enlargement/reduction factor and reproduces the enlarged/reduced document.

An image processor has a controller unit connected to at least one of functional units such as an image reading unit, detects a source of input of image data according to a network I/F or a parallel bus I/F. An image-memory access control section transmits the image data input from each of the functional units to a memory group and also transmits the image data stored in the memory group to the functional unit. A system controller controls the overall apparatus and also controls the image-memory access control section according to the input source of the image data to determine an order of transmitting the image data to the memory group.

In an image-processing apparatus, a digital image signal is stored in a memory, and a memory access control part entirely manages all accesses to the memory with respect to the digital image signal. An image processing part converts the digital image signal stored in the memory into an output image signal to be supplied to an imaging unit outputting a visible image based on the output image signal so that a pixel density of the output image signal is higher than a pixel density of the digital image signal read from the memory and an amount of the output image signal is less than an amount of the digital image signal stored in the memory. Accordingly, the central controlled memory is shared by a plurality of functions so as to effectively use the memory, and a high-quality image can be produced by carrying out a density conversion so as to match the pixel density.

The image processing device comprises a first function block section formed of functional blocks which require a supply of power so as to maintain the image processing device in an operating state when the power supply is on, and a second function block section formed of functional blocks which need not be supplied with the power so as to maintain the image processing device in an operating state even when the power supply is on. The supply of power to the second function block section can be stopped when desired, while continuing the supply of power to the first function block section, thereby saving the power.

The image processing apparatus comprises a reading unit which simultaneously reads image data from two, an obverse and a reverse, surfaces of a document, and a compressing unit which compresses received image data. The apparatus further comprises a controlling unit which orchestrates a flow of image data from the reading unit to the compressing unit in such a manner that the image data corresponding to the obverse surface and the reverse surface is input into the compressing unit at different timing.

An image processing apparatus is connected to a plurality of functional units including an image processor which processes images. A process controller provides control over the entire operation. A ROM previously stores information about the content of the image processing. The process controller reads the information stored in the ROM and transfers this information in a host buffer provided with the image processor. The image processor processes the image data based on the information stored in the host buffer.

To solve problems associated with undesirable duplication of see-through back image in a double-sided input document, a method of and a system for substantially eliminating the undesirable see-through back images initially scanns a front side image and a back side image from the double-sided document and store the scanned images. The front side image has portions, and some of the portions include an original front image as well as a see-through back image from the back side image. An edge amount for each of the portions is determined in the front side image. The see-through back images are separated from the original front images based upon the edge amount. To further improve the correct removal of the undesired see-through back image, the above processed portions having a certain edge are smoothed. Character portions and dot pattern portions are further separated from background portions in the smoothed data. Finally, the intensity level of the character portions, the dot pattern portions and the background portions are adjusted by a corresponding predetermined conversion function so as to substantially eliminate the see-through back image.

In the image processing apparatus, an image data control unit is connected to at least one of an image reading unit, an image memory control unit, an image processing unit, and an image writing unit. The image data control unit receives any one of an image data read by the image reading unit, image data read by the image memory control unit, and image data processed by the image processing unit. The image data control unit transmits the received image data to any of the image memory control unit, the image processing unit, and the image writing unit.

The image processing apparatus comprises an input I/F memory which reads pixels having a predetermined length, subjects the read pixels to buffering, and writes them in a SIMD type processor. The SIMD type processor performs batch processing of the pixels. Further, an output I/F memory reads the pixels batch-processed by the SIMD type processor, subjects the read pixels to buffering and writes them in a predetermined output destination. Read and/or write timing of IN—FIFO and OUT—FIFO is appropriately controlled.

A programmable image processor capable of realizing a plurality of image formation operations is comprised of an SIMD type data operation processing section, RAMs, memory controllers, and memory switches. The memory controller and the memory switches selectively connect the plurality of RAMs to the data operation processing section thereby changing the memory capacity allotted to each image formation operation among a plurality of image formation operations.
