An image processing apparatus includes a first image generator and a second image generator. The first image generator generates a first image, including a predetermined ruled-line image and an inscription image, from a second sheet in a sheet group. The sheet group is obtained by stacking multiple sheets including a single first sheet and the second sheet. The first sheet has inscription information inscribed thereon. The second sheet has the inscription image corresponding to the inscription information transferred thereon and includes the ruled-line image. The second image generator generates a second image in which a surplus image is removed from the first image generated by the first image generator in accordance with a learning model that has learned to remove the surplus image different from the ruled-line image and the inscription image.

An information processing apparatus includes a determination, first, second and third receiving, and first and second checking units, and a controller. When a determination result matches a first determination result, the first checking unit outputs a matching determination result as the final output. The second checking unit checks the first determination result against a second. The first and second determination results are respectively received by the first and second receiving units. When the first determination result matches the second, the second checking unit outputs the matching determination result as the final output. When the input information is received, the controller operates the determination, first receiving, and first checking units. When it is determined that the determination result does not match the first determination result, the controller operates selectively one of a unit set and the third receiving unit. The unit set is constituted by the second receiving and checking units.

There is provided an information processing apparatus. For each of pieces of data each of which belongs to any of data groups constituting a tree structure, a meta-information storage unit stores an identification data string of pieces of identification data of data groups included in a path to a data group to which the piece of data belongs, as a piece of meta-information of the piece of data. A display unit displays an image representing a tree structure composed of virtual data groups corresponding to the data groups, in accordance with pieces of meta-information of the pieces of data. An update unit updates, in a case where at least one of the pieces of identification data has been specified by a user, a piece of meta-information including the specified piece of identification data among the pieces of meta-information.

An image processing apparatus includes an image receiving section, a succession value image generating section and a solid converting section. The image receiving section receives an image contains a line having breaks. The succession value image generating section generates a succession value image having as a pixel value the number of times of succession of black or white pixels in the image received by the image receiving section. The solid-line converting section, based on the succession value image generated by the succession value image generating section, performs solid-line conversion in which the line having breaks is changed into a solid line.

An image processing system includes an area extracting unit, an area relation extracting unit, a relation analyzing unit and an image display unit. The area extracting unit extracts areas from an input image. The area relation extracting unit extracts a relation between the areas extracted by the area extracting unit. The relation analyzing unit analyzes the relation between the areas extracted by the area relation extracting unit. The image display unit displays the image in accordance with an analysis result by the relation analyzing unit.

An image processing apparatus performs color conversion processing on an input image. The image processing apparatus includes a block pallet conversion unit, a first color converting unit and a restoration unit. The block pallet conversion unit converts the input image in units of blocks into (i) pallet color information including pallet colors number of which is less than pixels included in one of the blocks and (ii) selection information used to select one of the pallet colors for each pixel. The first color converting unit performs color conversion on the pallet color information obtained by the block pallet conversion unit. The restoration unit selects for each pixel, based on the selection information, one of the pallet colors of the pallet color information, which is color-converted by the first color converting unit, to restores an image.

Image processing performing color conversion on an input image

An image processing apparatus performs color conversion processing on an input image based on an attribute of the input image, such as if the image is text or a drawing. An image is reduced, and the color conversion is performed. The color converted image is then enlarged. The image is then output by a computer or stored.

Image processing apparatus and method that performs differential scaling on picture regions than on text and line regions to enhance speed while preserving quality

A sender devicestores, in header information about image information, information indicating that attribute information and image data rearranged in sequence, and produces image information by means of storing attribute information and image data in a predetermined sequence. The thus-produced image information is sent to a receiver deviceby way of a network lineWhen receipt of image information is initiated, the receiver devicerefers to the header information, thereby determining presence/absence, in the header information, of information indicating that attribute information and image data are stored in a predetermined sequence. When it has been determined that attribute information and image data are arranged in a predetermined sequence, image data included in the received image information are immediately decompressed, and the thus-decompressed image data are output in the form of a record or display.

A scanner reads image information at read resolution set by a resolution control section and stores the image information in memory An image separation section separates the image information into a first image plane (picture part), a second image plane (text part color information), and a selection image plane (text part forms) for selecting either the first or second image plane. The resolution control section sets optimum resolutions in first to third resolution conversion sections in response to image quality, the original type, the system environment, the image plane characteristics, etc. The three image planes are converted into the resolutions set in the first to third resolution conversion sections The image planes after undergoing the resolution conversion are compressed in first to third compression sections and wrapped in one data format by an image format section

Input image information undergoes color conversion processing in a color conversion section , then is separated into first piece of image data, second piece of image data, and selection data in a multilayer data processing section and transmission data in the multilayer data format is output. On the other hand, a 1-layer data processing section prepares transmission data in the normal 1-layer data format from the image information. A color determination section determines whether the input image information is a color or monochrome image. If the image information is determined a color image, a selection section selects the transmission data in the multilayer data format; if the image information is determined a monochrome image, the selection section selects the transmission data in the 1-layer data format. Then, it transmits the selected transmission data through a transmission section
