  • Publication number: 20110222795
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus of the present invention includes: a separation section that separates image components having different attributes contained in electronic document data expressing an original image; a selection section that selects which mode from plural modes including a reusability emphasis mode for performing predetermined re-laying out of the image components with emphasis on reusability; and a generation section that re-lays the image components separated by the separation section according to the mode selected by the selection section, and generates software data corresponding to software for use.

  • Publication number: 20110043852
    Abstract: A document output device includes an acquisition unit and a controller. When a printed document is read by a reading device and output of the document on the basis of read document information is instructed, the acquisition unit acquires at least one of attribute information of a document receiver, attribute information of an output instructor, and second identification information inputted by the output instructor. If it is determined, on the basis of a first identification information and the acquired information, that an output of a constituent element specified as an object of output restriction is not permitted, the controller restricts the output of the constituent element which is the object of output restriction in the document.

  • Publication number: 20100239166
    Abstract: A character recognition device includes: an acquiring unit that acquires image data describing pixel values representing colors of pixels constituting an image; a binarizing unit that binarizes the pixel values; an extracting unit that extracts boundaries of colors in the image; a delimiting unit that delimits plural image areas in the image; a specifying unit that specifies, with regard to first image areas arranged according to a predetermined rule, pixels binarized by the binarizing unit, as a subject for character recognition, and specifies, with regard to second image areas not arranged according to the predetermined rule, pixels of areas surrounded by boundaries extracted by the extracting unit, as a subject for character recognition; and a character recognition unit that recognizes characters represented by the pixels specified by the specifying unit as a subject for character recognition.

  • Publication number: 20100232717
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes: a memory; an obtaining unit that obtains image data representing an image including concatenated pixels; an isolating unit that isolates a rendering element, the rendering element being an image surrounded by border lines of a color in an image represented by the image data; and a classifying unit that, in a case where a plurality of rendering elements has been isolated by the isolating unit, and in a case where color difference between two of the plural rendering elements or the distance between the two rendering elements is less than a threshold, classifies the two rendering elements into the same group, associates pieces of image data that represent rendering elements belonging to the same group with one another, and stores the pieces of image data in the memory.

  • Publication number: 20100225984
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes: a first determination unit that determines whether each of an image regions is for a vector image; a color number counting unit that counts the number of colors in the pixels of high-resolution image data; a frequency counting unit that counts a number of times where the difference between the colors of each of the pixels in the high-resolution image data and the colors of at least one pixel located around each of those pixels is greater than or equal to a threshold; a second determination unit that determines that the image region is not an image region for a vector image; and a generation unit that generates image data in which a process for rendering images in the image regions determined by the first determination unit to be image regions for vector images is defined by numerical values or numerical formulas.

  • Publication number: 20070263258
    Abstract: An image transmitting apparatus includes an image reading unit that reads image data, a decision unit that decides whether recipient address information included in the image data read by the image reading unit matches recipient address information specified as a destination, a processing unit that processes the recipient address information included in the image data read by the image reading unit, and a transmitting unit that transmits the image data in which the recipient address information has been processed by the processing unit to the specified destination, depending on a result of the decision made by the decision unit.
