A method and device for describing a complex color raster image as a collection of objects in a hierarchical and device independent format can be carried out using an apparatus for generating an image capable of being displayed and printed.

Structured image (SI) format for describing complex color raster images

A method and device for describing a complex color raster image as a collection of objects in a hierarchical and device independent format. The purpose of structured imaging (SI) is to expand the scope of a raster image to a collection of individually manipulable component objects. An SI is a hierarchical description of a single output image raster which may be used as one component of a page in a structured document. Objects contributing to the output raster may originate from text, graphics, other rasters or a combination thereof, and all maintain their heritage for selectability and modification. The SI describes not only the source data but also the image processing operations required for rendering the output raster. SI technology supports re-editability, customization and enhancement, automatic image assembly and high performance imaging. Thus, such a model has implications not only in an image editing and processing arena, but also in the filing and printing services used for image handling.

Structured image (Sl) format for describing complex color raster images

An image edit processing apparatus for editing digital images, and an image output apparatus for printing out the processed digital image. In the apparatus, image data is read by an image scanner, and such editorial jobs as enlargement/reduction, change of resolution, rotation, composition, and correction of tone or brightness are carried out for the thus read image data by a personal computer or work station or in print service, so that the edit processing is efficiently carried out at high speed.

Image-edit processing apparatus

A network system in which a plurality of information devices connected to each other through a network are provided so that a resource is released to the information devices through the network, the system comprising: a storage device for storing an access list indicating an access right for every information device of release destination; and a management device for releasing a resource within a range in accordance with a right given to every information device on the basis of the access list stored in the storage device.

Network system having controlled access to available resources
