Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes an image partitions manipulating unit that manipulates image partitions of encoded image information, each image partition containing plural values of pixels; a decoding unit that decodes the image information manipulated by the image partitions manipulating unit; and a pixels manipulating unit that manipulates pixels of the image information decoded by the decoding unit, partitioning an image into partitions which are manipulated by the image partitions manipulating unit being changed according to what manipulation is to be performed by the pixels manipulating unit.
Claims15
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- an image partitions manipulating unit that manipulates image partitions of encoded image information, each image partition containing a plurality of values of pixels;
- a decoding unit that decodes the image information manipulated by the image partitions manipulating unit;
- and
- a pixels manipulating unit that manipulates pixels of the image information decoded by the decoding unit,
- partitioning an image into partitions which are manipulated by the image partitions manipulating unit being changed according to what manipulation is to be performed by the pixels manipulating unit.
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- an image partitions manipulating unit that manipulates image partitions of encoded image information, each image partition containing a plurality of values of pixels;
- a decoding unit that decodes the image information manipulated by the image partitions manipulating unit;
- and
- a plurality of dedicated processors that are assigned, respectively, to perform processing tasks for a plurality of types of image processing on image information decoded by the decoding unit.
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- an image partitions manipulating unit that manipulates image partitions of encoded image information, each image partition containing a plurality of values of pixels;
- a decoding unit that decodes the image information manipulated by the image partitions manipulating unit;
- a pixels manipulating unit that manipulates pixels of the image information decoded by the decoding unit;
- and
- an image forming unit that forms an image based on the image information manipulated by the pixels manipulating unit,
- partitioning an image into partitions which are manipulated by the image partitions manipulating unit being changed according to what manipulation is to be performed by the pixels manipulating unit.
An image forming system comprising:
- an image processing apparatus that performs image processing on image information;
- and
- an image forming apparatus that forms an image based on image information processed by the image processing apparatus,
- the image processing apparatus including:
- an image partitions manipulating unit that manipulates image partitions of encoded image information, each image partition containing a plurality of values of pixels;

- and
- a pixels manipulating unit that manipulates pixels of the image information decoded by the decoding unit,
- partitioning an image into partitions which are manipulated by the image partitions manipulating unit being changed according to what manipulation is to be performed by the pixels manipulating unit.
A computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process comprising:
- defining partitioning an image into image partitions, each containing a plurality of values of pixels, based on what manipulation is to be performed for pixels of image information;
- manipulating the defined image partitions of encoded image information;
- decoding image information manipulated in terms of the image partitions;
- and
- manipulating pixels of decoded image information.
An image processing method comprising:
- putting a plurality of information values to be compressed together and generating a group of information values to be compressed;
- assigning a code to each generated group;
- and
- encoding the information values to be compressed belonging to each group, using the code assigned to each group.
