An image registering method and apparatus for recording an image in a recording medium include reading an image of an original to which a bar code is added, storing the read image of the original in a memory, rotating the image stored in the memory by 90 degrees, detecting the bar code from the image, which has been rotated, and decoding detected bar code information and forming an index file indicating a relationship between the decoded bar code information and a recording address of the image of the original, which is recorded in the recording medium.

Image storing method and apparatus including detecting index information

An image storing method includes the steps of: reading an image of an original including index information to provide image information; recording the image information on a recording medium; reading out the image information recorded on the recording medium; detecting the index information included in the image information which is read out from the recording medium; and generating an index file showing the relationship between the detected index information and a storage address of the image information recorded on the recording medium. Also disclosed is an image storing apparatus which records on a recording medium image information of an original including index information, which is provided from an image reading device. The apparatus includes a recording device for recording the image information on the recording medium; a reading device for reading out the image information recorded on the recording medium; a detecting device for detecting the index information included in the image information read out by the reading device; and an index file generating device for generating an index file showing the relationship between the index information detected by the detecting device and a storage address of the image information recorded on the recording medium.

There is disclosed an image processing system capable of effectively utilizing a large-sized display unit by expanding the image signals to be displayed.

Image processing system

A file system is capable of retrieving image information stored in a microfilm file and image information stored in a disk through common input information.

File system

A recording apparatus for recording a multi-color document on a monochromatic recording medium, and an image reproducing apparatus for reproducing the multi-color image from the monochromatic recording medium. The recording apparatus includes detection equipment for detecting the color of the image recorded on the document, apparatus for monochromatically recording the document image on the recording medium, and apparatus for recording on the recording medium information corresponding to the color detected by the detection means. The image reproducing apparatus includes detection equipment for detecting the information recorded on the recording medium, and apparatus for applying to the image carrier a color corresponding to the information detected by the detection means.

Color image recording and reproducing apparatus utilizing a

There is disclosed an image processing system composed of a network of plural stations, in which the transmitted image signals can be monitored on real time basis, always utilizing the full image display area and without lack in the displayed image, by suitably converting the image signals.

An image processing system has an original reader or an image file for generating an image signal, a soft display, a high-speed printer, a small printer, a work station with a CPU, and a switching device. An image can always be displayed or printed at the center of a display surface or of a recording medium irrespective of a difference in the image and the display surface or recording medium.

There is disclosed a display apparatus in which plural erasable images formed on an image bearing member are transported to display mechanism and displayed simultaneously thereon. The image bearing member moves along a determined path, along which provided are stations for image formation, display and erasure. The plural images on the image bearing member are selectively changeable.

Display apparatus

An image processing system transmits image information in the form of electrical signals among plural stations for processing. A switching unit is provided to supply plural sets of signals to the plural stations in a parallel manner, thus achieving efficient signal transmission.

A data output apparatus is capable of effecting a rotation of image data output therefrom relative to image data input thereto. This apparatus includes a system for scanning image data to be input thereto on a line by line basis, and a page memory for storing this input data on this basis. A control system converts the data stored in the page memory on a line by line basis to data for storage on a column by column basis. A column memory receives the data arranged on a column by column basis from the control system and an output device connected to the column memory puts out the data therefrom on the column by column basis. More particularly, the memories may comprise a unit matrix group including a plurality of unit matrix memories, all of which are accessible at the same time. An address selecting circuit sequentially selects the unit matrix memories, along one readout direction, to be sequentially read out and digit lines are provided for putting out data from the unit matrix memories. A digit selection circuit then selects the digit lines sequentially in accordance with the direction in which data is to be read out.

Data output apparatus capable of rotating data output therefrom relative

An apparatus for reading the image of an original by focusing said image through a lens onto photosensor, in which an optical path divider is provided between the lens and the image plane for dividing the path for a light beam of a scan line, whereby the light beam passing through a divided light path is detected by first photodetector while the light beam passing through another divided light path is detected by second photodetector so that the image is divided into plural areas in which the image is converted into electrical signals by means of independent first and second photodetectors.

Image reading apparatus

A photographic apparatus for photographing originals in succession onto a photographic film of a continuous web form and then processing the thus exposed film. The apparatus is provided with a storage chamber located between the photographing station and the processing station for temporarily storing the film advanced from the photographing station, a feeder for feeding the film from the storage chamber to the processing station and a switch for actuating the feeder to feed the film from the storage chamber to the processing station. There are further provided a photographing controller adapted to prohibit the operation of the photographing device when a determined amount of the film is stored in the storage chamber and enable the photographing operation in response to the actuation of said switch, and a cutter for cutting the exposed film.

Photographic apparatus

A web winding apparatus for automatically winding a web, wherein a winding shaft is driven by a driving device, said winding shaft being adapted, in response to the rotation thereof, to generate pulse signals of which interval is detected to identify whether the web is correctly wound on said winding shaft. In case the web is not correctly wound on the winding shaft, it is cut off from the driving device to prevent damage or breakage of the web.

Web winding apparatus

A photographic apparatus, in which a plurality of image originals are sequentially photographed on a photographic film of a long length, and the thus photographed film is subjected to development. The photographic apparatus is provided with a film storage chamber, where the exposed film is temporarily stored, and the film stored therein is gradually fed by means of film forwarding rollers which operate in accordance with the film quantity staying in the film storage chamber to a film processing device to develop the exposed film.

This invention provides a photographic apparatus for successively photographing originals on a photographic film in a continuous web form and subsequently developing the thus exposed film. Said apparatus comprises a camera unit and a processor unit, wherein said camera unit comprising a film chamber for storing the photographic film exposed at an exposing position into a loop form, a feed path for feeding said film in said film chamber into said processor and means for advancing said film into said film chamber. The photographic apparatus of this invention is selectively usable either as a camera for photographing only or as a camera-processor for continuous photographing and development.
