  • Patent number: 6559972
    Abstract: An image data processing apparatus for storing a multi-valued image data inputted from an image scanner as a plural image data of various resolutions and applying them for tasks, such as printing and displaying. After the conversion by the resolution converting device to a multi-valued image of low resolution, the data is binarized by the binarization circuit and stored after the encoding by the encoding circuit. Meanwhile the encoded data is decoded as the binary data by the decoding circuit and then inputted to a display screen. The image scanner includes the first gradation converting device for converting the intermediate density area of the image data to a specific high or low density. Therefore, it is possible to increase the compression rate at the time of the encoding of the display image data.

  • Publication number: 20030002056
    Abstract: A print image expansion section 209 creates print image data from XML source and font data, and outputs this print image data to an output switching section 210. The print image expansion section 209 also outputs size information for the created print image data to a conversion ratio calculation section 214. The conversion ratio calculation section 214 calculates a conversion ratio indicating the size ratio for converting print image data to preview data based on preview screen information and printing condition information, and outputs this conversion ratio to an image conversion section 211. The image conversion section 211 converts the print image data to preview data, and outputs this preview data to an interface section 201 via a buffer 212. The conversion ratio calculated by the conversion ratio calculation section 214 is used as the ratio for converting the print image data to preview data.

  • Patent number: 6278513
    Abstract: A digital copier includes an image reading part and a printing part. The image reading part includes reading means for electrically scanning lines of image information of a document in a primary scanning direction at a predetermined cycle to output image signals for the lines; secondary scanning means for mechanically moving a primary scanning position with respect to the document at a constant secondary scanning speed V in a secondary scanning direction perpendicular to the primary scanning direction; and line thinning means for thinning out lines for the image signals to 1/N where N is an integer. The printing part prints an image on a printing medium based on the image signals supplied from the image reading part. The lines of image information of the document are copied at an arbitrary zoom ratio in the secondary scanning direction by combining a value of the integer N and a value of the secondary scanning speed V.
