In an image reading apparatus, a control device controls a reading unit to start reading a document; stores first image data in a storage unit on a block-to-block basis to sequentially store each of a plurality of first blocks of data, the plurality of first blocks included in the first image data; performs, each time each first block of data is stored in the storage unit, a plurality of image processing on the first block of data to generate a second block of data including a plurality of types of data different from one another; and deletes one of the plurality of first blocks of data from the storage unit after completion of the plurality of image processing on the one of the plurality of first blocks of data before completion of the plurality of image processing on all of the plurality of first blocks of data.

An image formation apparatus includes a flash memory as an image data buffer, and a control section, where data writing to each memory block of the flash memory is controlled by using wear leveling. The control section predicts whether writing of a certain amount of image data such that the amount of image data to be written into the flash memory in a predetermined period exceeds a predetermined value, will occur, and on predicting that the writing of the certain amount of image data will occur, restricting an input of image data and/or a speed of buffering the image data, to reduce the amount of image data to be written into the flash memory in the predetermined period.
摘要:
A mechanism is provided for identifying one or more eligible image candidates. Responsive to a determination that the storage of a recently captured image raising an allocated captured images memory space in a storage to a point that storage of a next captured image would raise the allocated captured images memory space in the storage above the predetermined threshold, a criteria group in a set of criteria groups is identified to utilize for identification of one or more images candidates from a set of stored images in the storage. The one or more images candidates from the set of stored images in the storage are identified utilizing one or more image identification criteria in the criteria group. The one or more image candidates are then presented to a user.

An image-capture device includes: an image-capture section that captures an image of a subject; a detector that detects a portion of the subject, the portion having a specific feature, from the image captured by the image-capture section; an evaluator that determines a numerically expressed evaluation value of the specific feature of the portion detected by the detector; a buffer section that temporarily stores delayed images corresponding to a predetermined amount of time; and a recording-operation controller that controls the image-capture device to record image data including a predetermined delayed image in the buffer section, upon determining that the evaluation value satisfies a predetermined condition.

An image-sharing server of an image-sharing system acquires candidate storage data including an update image currently displayed on an image-providing terminal. When, for instance, a predetermined reception band of a second image-receiving terminal is narrower than an optimum transmission band of the image-providing terminal, the image-sharing server specifies the last update data in an order for the update data to be stored in a second transmission buffer as comparison data. Further, when determining that an update region of the comparison data is included in an update region of the candidate storage data, the image-sharing server deletes the comparison data and stores the candidate storage data in the second transmission buffer. Subsequently, the image-sharing server transmits the update data of the second transmission buffer to a second receiving terminal in the order for the update data to be stored to update the image currently displayed on the second image-receiving terminal to update data.

A digital camera includes an image sensor; a buffer memory adapted to receive images from the image sensor and to store the images therein; an image processor adapted to receive selected images and to process the selected images, including applying a video compression algorithm to the selected images; an image storage device adapted to store the processed, selected images; and an image selector adapted to select the selected images among the stored images in the buffer memory based on at least one image selection criterion, and to cause unselected stored images to be discarded from the buffer memory.
摘要:
Image data is transmitted from an image input apparatus to an information processing apparatus. Specific information (e.g., photographing information) that specifies the image data, and identification information (e.g., a disk name) that identifies an optical disk on which the image data is recorded, are added to the image data. Further, the specific information and the identification information are stored in a storage device. Subsequently, specific information that matches with an input keyword is searched from the specific information stored in the storage device. Then, the searched specific information and the identification information corresponding to the searched specific information are displayed in a list on a display. By performing a keyword adding process and an image searching process, the optical disk containing desired image data can be easily specified. Therefore, desired image data recorded on the optical disk can be easily searched.

An image data processing system comprising; an image inputting section for inputting image data; an image processing section that performs image processing on the input image data to create image data for printing; a first controlling section that performs controls over said image inputting section and said image processing section; and an image transmitting section capable of simultaneously transmitting said image data for printing to a print preparing device and to an image storing device, characterized in that said image storing device includes; an image receiving section that receives said image data for printing that are transmitted from said image transmitting section; a storing medium for storing the received image data; and a second controlling section that performs controls over said image receiving section and said storing medium.
摘要:
A camera 1 comprises first and second camera systems 3, 5. The first camera system 3 is a high resolution camera which captures images (so-called nullkey framesnull) at a relatively low rate, whilst the second camera system 5 is a low resolution camera which captures images (so-called nullvideo framesnull) at a higher rate. Accordingly, a plurality of video frames are captured between each key frame. An application program is provided, either in a PC 13 to which the frames are downloaded, or in the camera 1 itself. The main purpose of the application program is to decide which of the captured frames should be stored, and which should be discarded (i.e. by a deletion or replacement operation) thereby freeing-up memory. This is performed by means of the application program performing an analysis of the image content in the frames, assigning a quality factor to the image content based on the composition quality of the image content, and updating memory to remove frames which have a quality factor indicating a lower composition quality than a subsequently captured frame. Thus, only those frames having nullinterestingnull content will be saved, and those frames which are poor in terms of their content or composition will not occupy memory if a better frame is identified.
