An image processing apparatus divides an address space in which input image data are arranged into a plurality of blocks and can change a block from which reading of the image data in each line is started and a data reading start address in each block, so that an output image to an input image can be processed or corrected freely or deviation of the output image to the input image can be corrected.

Image processing apparatus

A word processor with a document retrieval function which successively and continuously displays retrieved documents which have been converted into code information and stored in the code information storage unit, so that by using a buffer memory of just little capacity, documents can be consecutively displayed at high speed, or at a specified high speed, or otherwise such consecutive display suspended and the documents generated one by one at high speed. In order to achieve this, the original code information is reduced so as to contain just enough information for retrieval purposes, and having been stored in the buffer memory, is used in the successive generation of the display image.

Word processing unit with document display function

An image storing device for compressing an original image, storing the compressed image, and expanding the stored image while enabling a high speed searching for stored image data is provided. An encoded data classification unit can classify the encoded and compressed data into reduced data output and an unreduced data output. Both the reduced and unreduced data output are stored and a selective reading unit can address this data. The data can be decoded and expanded and an arrangement control unit can arrange a sequence to the data so that the original image is reproduced when operating upon the unreduced data and when operating upon the reduced data, only encoded and compressed corresponding to scanning lines which are subject to reduced output are decoded and expanded after being reduced in a line direction.
