Abstract
Light from a subject is divided by an optical system, one of which is focused on a receiving surface of a first image sensing device. The first image sensing device generates pixel information having low pixel density and multi-value for the image of the subject. The other light is transmitted to outline extracting means to generate an outline image. The outline image is picked up by a second image sensing device to generate binary pixel information having high pixel density for the outline image. The pixel information of the image and the pixel information of the outline are transmitted to an image reproduction processor via a data processor compose an image of high pixel density.
