  • Publication number: 20240037887
    Abstract: In an image processing device, an image capturing section receives light reflected by a document, captures an image of the document with the light, and generates read data of the image. The light includes visible light and invisible light. The image includes a visible image and an invisible image. A first image processing circuit detects coordinates of first points on a boundary between the document and a white reference plate in the visible image and coordinates of second points on the boundary in the invisible image, calculates a first detection result, first detection error information, a second detection result, and second detection error information, and selects the first or second detection result based on the first and second error information. The calculation of the first detection result and the first error information and the calculation of the second detection result and the second error information are sequentially performed.

  • Publication number: 20190384523
    Abstract: A control device for an image forming apparatus includes: a first transfer unit configured to read log data from a first memory and write the log data into a second memory; and a second transfer unit configured to read the log data from the second memory and transfer the log data outside the control device. The first memory is a volatile storage device and configured to store the log data acquired by a processor. The second memory is a volatile storage device. The first transfer unit, the second transfer unit, and the second memory are reset by a second reset unit other than a first reset unit configured to reset the processor and the first memory.

  • Patent number: 9609173
    Abstract: A memory control circuit includes a writing unit configured to receive image data that is input and write the image data into a memory; a first reading unit configured to read the image data written in the memory and output the image data to a determination unit that determines a type of image of the image data; and a second reading unit configured to read the image data written in the memory and output the image data to an image processing unit that performs image processing according to a determination result obtained by the determination unit. When the second reading unit is outputting the image data to the image processing unit, the first reading unit outputs image data, which is input subsequently to the input of the image data, to the determination unit.
