Patent number: 8396294Abstract: In an electronic document of drawing descriptions of a page image and a character, it is desired that although a font data necessary for drawing the character is held in the electronic document, the size of the electronic document is minimized. Furthermore, it is desired to ensure visibility at the time of highlighting of search. There is generated an electronic document in which a document image, a plurality of character codes obtained by executing a character recognition processing with respect to the document image, and a plurality of kinds of glyph data to be utilized in common with respect to the plurality of character codes when drawing characters corresponding to the plurality of character codes are stored. The plurality of kinds of glyph data are selectively used when characters corresponding to the character codes are drawn. It is desirable that the glyph data be the one in a simple form.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2008Date of Patent: March 12, 2013Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Makoto Enomoto, Tomotoshi Kanatsu, Keiko Nakanishi

Patent number: 8331736Abstract: An image processing device is provided which generates an easily reusable electronic document from an input image in which different page sizes are mixed. The image processing device generates a plurality of pieces of display information from a plurality of document images, and, depending on the size and the direction of each of the images, converts the pieces of display information into electronic documents. That is, the plurality of pieces of display information are divided into a plurality of groups, depending on the size and the direction of each of the images, and the display information included in each of the groups is converted into a separate electronic document. Further, sequence information based on the input order of the plurality of document images is stored on an electronic document.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2009Date of Patent: December 11, 2012Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Keiko Nakanishi, Makoto Enomoto, Taeko Yamazaki

Patent number: 7508986Abstract: In document recognition processing for accurately recognition a document image at high speed, a shape feature is extracted from a component included in an input document image, and the degree of similarity of shape between the document image and the registered document is calculated based on the extracted shape feature. When it is determined that the component of the document image has color information, the color information is extracted from the document image, thus calculating the degree of similarity of color information from the document image. The degree of similarity of shape is corrected based on the degree of similarity of color information, thus determining that the registered document is similar to the document image.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2004Date of Patent: March 24, 2009Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Hiroaki Ikeda, Keiko Nakanishi, Taeko Gotoh

Patent number: 5475807Abstract: A character processing apparatus includes a reading circuit to read out data stored in a vector form; a first converter for multiplying an enlargement/reduction ratio to the readout data and converting the resultant data; and a second converter for converting the converted data into the data in a dot form, and a circuit to extract the data converted by the first converter in accordance with an output area which can be output in a lump, wherein the extracted data is converted by the second converter. When an output request indicates the row direction, the vector data is converted into the dot data in row. When an output request indicates the column direction, the vector data is converted into the dot data in column. Thus, a character of a high quality can be efficiently output at a high speed. When the vector data is converted into the dot data, the painting process is properly selectively executed in the row or column direction. Thus, a character can be formed at a high speed.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 1989Date of Patent: December 12, 1995Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Masayuki Yoshida, Keiko Nakanishi
