  • Patent number: 5235430
    Abstract: In an MR coding operation for processing a facsimile image, relationships among changing pixels "a1", "a2", "b1" and "b2" are judged, and then after performing process operations of a horizontal mode and a vertical mode, confirmation is made whether or not the changing pixels "b1" and "b2" must be newly checked. When the changing pixels "b1" and "b2" are not required for a new detection, the changing pixels "b1" and "b2" which have been obtained during the preceding coding operation are employed in the subsequent coding operation. As a consequence, the operation to obtain the changing points in the pixels can be omitted and thus a highspeed coding process may be achieved.

  • Patent number: 5083218
    Abstract: A hand-held image reading apparatus reads image data corresponding to image information from a surface and prints the image data on a printing medium. The apparatus reads the image data by moving over the surface. Further, the apparatus stores the read image data in an internal memory, extracts the image data existing in the center of the image data stored in the memory and prints only the extracted image data on the printing medium.
