Patent number: 7076096Abstract: Disclosed is an image processing device capable of recognizing a specific image such as an image which is prohibited from printing at high speed and, moreover, without being influenced by an image forming process. A drawing command analysis unit analyzes a drawing command received by a drawing command input unit and sends an analysis result to both an output image data generation unit and a recognition image data generation unit. The output image data generation unit generates output image data adapted to an image formation device in accordance with the drawing command. In parallel with the operation, the recognition image data generation unit generates recognition image data adapted to a recognition unit in accordance with the drawing command. The recognition unit performs a process of recognizing a specific image by using the recognition image data.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2001Date of Patent: July 11, 2006Assignee: Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takeshi Kunimasa, Toru Hada, Kenichi Ishida, Masao Morita, Yozo Yamaguchi, Masami Kurata, Hiroshi Sekine, Hiroyuki Kawano, Takanobu Otsubo

Patent number: 7065259Abstract: The present invention provides an image processor and an image processing method wherein a specific image such as an image of which the printing is prohibited can be recognized at high speed and in addition, with high precision. A rendering command analysis unit passes a rendering object to any of a recognition unit for a raster image, a recognition unit for graphics and a recognition unit for a character according to the type of the rendering object in the rendering command and tries to recognize a specific image. The result of recognition by each recognition unit is passed to a recognition determination unit and it is synthetically determined based upon these results of recognition whether the specific image exists or not. Even if the specific image is formed by dividing into plural types of rendering objects, the specific image can be recognized by such recognition processing.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2001Date of Patent: June 20, 2006Assignee: Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takeshi Kunimasa, Toru Hada, Kenichi Ishida, Masao Morita, Yozo Yamaguchi, Masami Kurata, Hiroshi Sekine, Hiroyuki Kawano, Takanobu Otsubo

Patent number: 7006247Abstract: There is provided an image processing apparatus where in an additional image storage unit 3, a color additional image is stored into a color image storage unit 4, and a black/white additional image is stored into a black/white image storage unit 5. A color judging unit 2 judges as to whether an input image corresponds to a color image, or a black/white image every page thereof. Based upon the judgment result of the color judging unit 2, an image synthesizing unit 6 adds the color additional image stored in the color image storage unit 4 to the input image when the input image is the color image, and adds the black/white additional image stored in the black/white image storage unit 5 in the input image when the input image is the black/white image. Then, the image synthesizing unit 6 outputs the resulting image synthesized with the additional image.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2000Date of Patent: February 28, 2006Assignee: Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hiroshi Sekine, Hiroyuki Kawano, Takanobu Otsubo

Publication number: 20010035982Abstract: The present invention provides an image processor that enables recognition of a specific image such as an image of which the printing is prohibited at high speed and in addition, with high precision. Image data input to an image formation device is converted to output image data in a PDL conversion unit and it is determined in a preliminary determination unit whether a certain condition is met or not. Only if the certain condition is met, processing for recognizing the specific image is executed by a recognition unit. If the certain condition is not met, it is considered that the possibility of including the specific image is low and no processing for recognizing the specific image is executed. Therefore, the processing can be sped up by the quantity in which no recognition processing is executed. Also, as recognition processing is executed if the certain condition is met and there is the possibility of including the specific image, the precision of recognizing the specific image is never deteriorated.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 25, 2001Publication date: November 1, 2001Applicant: Fuji Xerox Co, Ltd.Inventors: Takanobu Otsubo, Hiroshi Sekine, Hiroyuki Kawano
