IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240202888 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation: The image processing apparatus described in the patent application can store, rotate, and combine partial images to create a rotated block image.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Ring buffer memory stores partial images of a block image divided from a scanned image.
- Memory control unit manages the storage status of the partial images.
- Processing unit performs rotation processing on the stored partial images.
- Combining unit merges rotated partial images to create a rotated block image.
Potential Applications: This technology can be used in various image processing applications such as medical imaging, satellite imaging, and video processing.
Problems Solved: The technology addresses the need for efficient processing of large images by dividing them into smaller parts and rotating them for further analysis.
Benefits:
- Improved image processing efficiency.
- Enhanced ability to manipulate and analyze large images.
- Increased accuracy in image rotation and combination.
Commercial Applications: The technology can be utilized in industries such as healthcare, surveillance, and entertainment for advanced image processing and analysis.
Questions about Image Processing Technology: 1. How does the ring buffer memory enhance the storage of partial images? 2. What are the potential challenges in combining multiple rotated partial images?
Frequently Updated Research: Researchers are continually exploring new algorithms and techniques to optimize image processing efficiency and accuracy in various applications.
Original Abstract Submitted
an image processing apparatus includes a ring buffer memory configured to store a partial image representing part of a block image obtained by dividing a band image obtained by dividing a scanned image in a unit of a band, further in a unit of a block; a memory control unit configured to control a storage status of the partial image in the ring buffer memory, a processing unit configured to perform rotation processing on the partial image stored in the ring buffer memory and output a rotated partial image, and a combining unit configured to combine a plurality of the rotated partial images outputted from the processing unit and output a rotated block image corresponding to the block image before being divided.
