Abstract: An image processing apparatus is an image processing apparatus that performs image processing on first image information of a target first image. The image processing apparatus has a controller and a first storage device which stores second image information of a second image. The controller reads the second image information stored in the first storage device, changes a resolution of the read second image information to a first resolution which is the same as a resolution of the first image information, and combines the first image information and the second image information based on the first image information and the second image information of which resolution is changed to the first resolution.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for selectively denoising medical images. In an exemplary method, one or more deep learning networks are trained to map corrupted images onto a first type and a second type of artifacts present in corresponding corrupted images. Then the one or more trained learning networks are used to single out the first and second types of artifacts from a particular medical image. The first type of artifacts is removed to a first extent and the second type of artifacts is removed to a second extent. The first and second extents may be different. For example, one type of artifacts can be fully suppressed while the other can be partially removed form the medical image.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus is capable of easily changing a scheduled stacking position of any image forming job. An image region in which an overall arrangement mode of the image forming apparatus and sheet discharge apparatus is displayed and a list region in which standby jobs are listed are displayed on a monitor screen. In the image region, a sheet bundle of the selected standby job is displayed on a tray that is set as the scheduled stacking position of the selected standby job. When the sheet bundle is selected and dragged and dropped by a mouse pointer on the monitor screen, the tray being set as the scheduled stacking position is changed, and a position at which the sheet bundle is displayed is also changed.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes an image reading portion or an image forming portion, a detection processing portion, and an operation restricting portion. The image reading portion reads an image from a document sheet. The image forming portion forms an image on a sheet. The detection processing portion detects whether or not a speaker that is provided outside the image processing apparatus is in an output state. The operation restricting portion restricts an operation of the image processing apparatus when the detection processing portion detects that the speaker is in the output state.

Abstract: Provided are techniques for identifying and extracting a sub-image in a document image file. Colors in a document image file are modified to form a modified document image file, wherein the document image file contains a first color, a second color, and a third color, wherein a threshold is used to determine whether each of different levels of the third color is to be one of the first color and the second color. Solid horizontal lines and solid vertical lines having one of a pre-defined width and a pre-defined height are removed from the modified document image file. A sub-image in the modified document image file is identified based on remaining solid horizontal lines and remaining solid vertical lines. A segment that includes the sub-image is extracted. Post-processing is performed on the segment.
