[Prior art]
For example, the image editing apparatus arranges various image parts such as patterns, figures, and characters in one page image, or corrects these image parts to perform various editing operations on the one page image. It is a device for performing. By the way, it often takes a considerable amount of time to display an actual image (fine image) of one page image. In particular, since the picture parts usually have a huge amount of data, it takes a considerable time to display the fine image (actual image). Therefore, conventionally, in order to shorten the image display time, a one-page image is displayed using the rough image (thinned image).
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, for example, when editing (cutting out or changing a color) a fine part of a pattern part, it may be desired to display the fine image. However, conventionally, there is no technique for finely displaying a specific image component in one page image in a short time, and there is a problem that it takes a considerable time to display the fine image.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on examples. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an image editing apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention. This image editing apparatus is a computer system including a CPU 20, a main memory 22, a bus 24, a video memory 26, a display control unit 28, and a color CRT 30. The image editing apparatus further includes an interface 32, a keyboard 34 connected to the interface 32, a mouse 36, and a hard disk 38.
[0024]
The color CRT 30 corresponds to the image display means in the present invention, and the mouse 36 corresponds to the position designation means. As the image display means, in addition to the color CRT 30, various devices such as a liquid crystal display and a plasma display can be used. In addition to the mouse 36, various devices such as a trackball and a digitizer can be used as the position designation means (pointing device). In addition to the hard disk 38, an apparatus using various storage media such as a magneto-optical disk and a CD-ROM can be used as the external storage device.
[0025]
The CPU 20 implements the functions of the coarse image display means 40, the fine image display means 42, and the image editing means 44 by executing a computer program stored in the main memory 22. The function of each of these means will be described later.
[0026]
A computer program (application program) for realizing the functions of these means is provided in a form stored in a portable recording medium such as a floppy disk or a CD-ROM. Transferred. Or you may make it supply such a computer program to a computer system from a program supply apparatus via a communication path. When the computer program is executed, it is transferred from the hard disk 38 to the main memory 22 and stored.
[0027]
In the present invention, the “recording medium” is not limited to the portable recording medium described above, but is an internal storage device in a computer such as various RAMs and ROMs, or an external storage fixed to a computer such as a hard disk. The device is also included. That is, the “recording medium” of the present invention includes various media that can be read by a computer.
[0028]
The main memory 22 includes page data 50 and coarse image data 52. The page data 50 is data including various types of information for reproducing a one-page image, such as the position of a picture component in the one-page image PG and its image file name, and the position and color of a line drawing component. The rough image data 52 is thinned image data of each image component. The fine image file 60 of each image component is stored in the hard disk 38.
[0029]
The main memory 22 further has a fine display work memory area 54 used for fine display. The fine image display means in this invention includes fine image display means 42 realized by the CPU 20 and this fine display work memory area 54. That is, the fine image display means 42 realized by the CPU 20 is a fine image display means in a narrow sense that does not include the fine display work memory area 54.
[0030]
FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a one-page image to be processed in the embodiment. The one-page image PG includes three pattern parts PP1, PP2, PP3. The third picture part PP3 is overlaid on the second picture part PP2. Note that the one-page image PG may include other types of image parts (line drawings such as graphics and characters, logos, etc.) that are not picture parts. The coarse image data for displaying such a coarse image of the one-page image PG is created by the coarse image display means 40 from the page data 50 in the main memory 22 and the coarse image data 52 of each component. It is written in the memory 26.
[0031]
In FIG. 2, the mouse pointer PT indicates the position of the third picture part PP3. At this time, according to the following procedure, the third picture part PP3 is finely displayed with priority over the other picture parts.
[0032]
FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a procedure of fine image display processing by the fine image display means 42. When the fine display process is started in step S1, the fine display completion flags of all the image components included in the drawing area are initialized to 0 in step S2. Here, the fine display completion flag is a flag indicating whether or not each image component is finely displayed. When the fine display flag is 0, it indicates incomplete, and when it is 1, it indicates completion. In the example of FIG. 2, the entire area of the one-page image PG corresponds to the drawing area, and the fine display completion flags for the three picture parts PP1 to PP3 are initialized.
[0033]
In step S3, it is determined whether or not the page data has been edited. Whether or not the page data has been edited is determined by whether or not the page data 50 (FIG. 1) stored in the main memory 22 has been changed. Specifically, it is determined that the page data has been edited when a new image component is added or an existing image component is deleted or changed. If the page data has been edited, the fine display process is temporarily stopped. The processing at this time will be described later. On the other hand, if the page data has not been edited, the process proceeds to step S4.
[0034]
In step S4, the target image component for the fine display process is searched and determined according to the position indicated by the mouse pointer PT. In the example of FIG. 2, since the mouse pointer PT exists at a position inside the third picture part PP3, the picture part PP3 is determined as a target image part for fine display. Note that it is also possible to select not a picture but a line drawing as a target object for fine display.
[0035]
In step S5, a fine display area in which fine image data for fine display is created is determined, and the fine display area is divided into a plurality of strip areas. FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing the fine display area TR and a plurality of strip areas TR1 to TR5. As can be seen from FIG. 4A, the fine display area TR is an area having a rectangular shape circumscribing the image part (the picture part PP3) selected as a fine display target. However, the fine display region TR may be a region having a predetermined shape including the target image component for fine display, and may be, for example, a square or circular region.
[0036]
As shown in FIG. 4B, the fine display area TR is divided into a plurality of strip areas TR1 to TR5. These strip regions TR1 to TR5 are rectangular regions having the same width as the fine display region TR and a height H set to a predetermined value (for example, 10 lines). However, the height of the last strip region TR5 is a predetermined height H or less. The fine image creation processing in steps S6 to S11 in FIG. 3 is sequentially executed for each of these strip regions.
[0037]
As described above, if the fine display area TR is divided into a plurality of strip areas, there is an advantage that the amount of memory required for creating fine image data can be reduced.
[0038]
In step S6, it is determined whether or not the target image component existing at the position indicated by the mouse pointer has changed from the previous time point. If the target image part has changed, the process returns to step S4, and the search for the target image part is executed again. If the target image part has not changed, it is determined in step S7 whether or not the page data has been edited. If the page data has been edited, the fine display process is temporarily stopped. On the other hand, if the page data has not been edited, image data for fine display is created for the fine display region TR including the current target image component in step S8 and subsequent steps.
[0039]
In step S8, a fine image file necessary for creating fine image data in the strip area currently being processed in the fine display area TR (initially the first strip area TR1) is read from the hard disk 38 into the main memory 22. At this time, the fine image file to be read is a data file of all the image parts in which at least a part is included in the strip area being processed. For example, when creating the fine image data of the first strip region TR1 in FIG. 4B, only the fine image file of the third picture part PP3 is read into the main memory 22. On the other hand, when creating the fine image data of the second strip region TR2, the fine image file of the second picture part PP2 is also read into the main memory 22 together with the fine image file of the third picture part PP3. In step S8, only a part of the fine image file that represents the image portion within the range of the strip area being processed may be read. In this way, the time required for reading the fine image file can be shortened.
[0040]
In step S9, the data in the fine display work memory area 54 is changed using the read fine image file and the page data. That is, the fine image display means 42 executes a process of creating fine image data representing a fine image of the strip area being processed and writing it in the fine display work memory area 54. When only one image part is included in the strip area as in the first strip area TR1 (FIG. 4B), the fine image data of the image part is stored in the fine display work memory in step S9. It is only written to area 54. On the other hand, when a plurality of image parts (picture parts PP2 and PP3) are included as in the second strip region TR2, in step S9, the fine image data of each image part is displayed in fine order in the overlapping order. The work memory area 54 is sequentially overwritten. As can be seen from FIG. 4A, in the one-page image PG, the third picture part PP3 is overlaid on the second picture part PP2. Therefore, in the case of the second strip region TR2 in FIG. 4B, first, the fine image data representing the fine image of the strip region TR2 of the second picture part PP2 superimposed on the lower side is the fine display work memory. It is written in area 54. Then, the fine image data representing the fine image of the strip area TR2 of the third picture part PP3 superimposed on the upper side is overwritten in the fine display work memory area 54. Note that the overlapping order of the image components is registered in the page data 50 in advance.
[0041]
As described above, when a plurality of image parts are included in the fine display area TR, the fine image data is sequentially overwritten in the fine display work memory area 54 in order from the bottom according to the overlapping order. Finally, it is possible to easily obtain a fine image in a state of being overlapped according to the overlapping order.
[0042]
In step 10, the fine image data stored in the fine display work memory area 54 is transferred to the video memory 26 via the bus 24. Since the display control unit 28 displays an image on the color CRT 30 in accordance with the image data stored in the video memory 26, after step S10, the image of the strip area that has been processed is finely displayed.
[0043]
In step S11, it is determined whether or not fine display has been completed for all strip regions in the fine display region TR. If not completed, the process returns to step S5, and the next strip area is selected as a processing target. In this way, by repeatedly executing the processes of steps S5 to S11, the image in the fine display area TR is finely displayed on the screen of the color CRT 30.
[0044]
When the fine display related to one target image part is completed, the fine display completion flag related to the target image part is set to 1 in step S12. Then, the process returns to step S4, and the image component to be subjected to the next fine display is determined. At this time, the image parts not designated by the mouse pointer PT (FIG. 2) are sequentially selected as the target image parts of the fine image according to the order registered in advance in the page data 50 (FIG. 1). In the page data 50, order information indicating the order of all image parts included in the one-page image PG is registered. As this order information, for example, various kinds of order information such as information indicating the overlapping order of image components and information indicating the order of distances of reference positions (for example, the upper left corner) of one page image can be used.
[0045]
When the target image components are sequentially selected according to such order information, selection of the image components for which the fine display completion flag is set to 1 as the target of the fine display processing is omitted. In this way, it is possible to prevent the fine display process from being performed again on the image parts that have been finely displayed once. As a result, it is possible to shorten the time required for finely displaying the entire one-page image.
[0046]
As described above, in the fine display process of FIG. 3, first, an image part existing at the position designated by the mouse pointer PT is first finely displayed, and the other image parts are subsequently successively finely displayed. The mouse pointer PT usually indicates a desired image component that the user wants to edit. Therefore, according to the procedure of FIG. 3, there is an advantage that a desired image component can be displayed finely in a relatively short time with priority.
[0047]
FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the entire procedure of the image editing process including the fine display process described above. In step T1, the coarse image display means 40 writes the coarse image of the entire one page image into the video memory 26 using the coarse image data 52 (FIG. 1), and the coarse image of the one page image is written to the color CRT 30 accordingly. Is displayed. In step T2, fine display processing is activated for the entire drawing area (that is, the entire one-page image). That is, the fine image display means 42 is activated, and fine display processing is executed according to the above-described procedure of FIG. The image editing process in FIG. 5 is executed by the CPU 20 as one process, and the fine display process in FIG. 3 is executed in the background process as one thread in the process. This fine display background process is executed in parallel during the execution of the image editing process after step T3. That is, the user can execute the following image editing process without being aware of whether or not the fine display process is being performed. In other words, the image editing process is not interrupted due to the fine display process.
[0048]
In step T3 of FIG. 5, the editing work by the image editing means 44 is started. FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing a state in which a figure GP is added to a one-page image as an example of a one-page image editing operation. In this example of the editing work, when the user designates a plurality of points V1 to V4 using the mouse pointer PT, the figure GP is created by sequentially connecting these points V1 to V4 with line segments.
[0049]
In step T4 in FIG. 5, the user inputs one coordinate using the mouse 36. In step T <b> 5, the image editing unit 44 stores the input value (coordinate value) in the main memory 22. In step T <b> 6, the coarse image display unit 40 draws a coarse image of input points and a coarse image of lines connecting two adjacent input points on the video memory 26.
[0050]
In step T 7, it is determined whether or not the fine display data has been copied to the video memory 26 by the fine image display means 42. As described above, the fine display process shown in FIG. 3 is executed in parallel with the image editing process by the user as a background process. Therefore, step S10 in FIG. 3 is executed during the input by the user, and the fine display image data may be copied to the video memory 26. Therefore, in step T7, the image editing unit 44 inquires of the fine image display unit 42 whether or not such fine display image data has been copied, and determines the presence / absence thereof. When the image data for fine display has been copied to the video memory 26, the input points and connection lines drawn before that may have been deleted from the video memory 26. Therefore, the image editing means 44 redraws the rough image of the input points and connection lines in the video memory 26 in accordance with the input values stored in the main memory 22 in step T8. In this way, the newly created graphic can be displayed without omission even in the area where the fine image is displayed. In step T7, if the fine display image data has not been copied to the video memory 26, the process proceeds to the next step T9.
[0051]
In step T9, it is determined whether or not the figure input has been completed. If not, the process returns to step ST3 to repeat the above-described steps T4 to T8. On the other hand, when the graphic input is completed, graphic data representing the graphic is added to the page data 50 in step T10.
[0052]
In this way, when the graphic editing process is finished, the fine display process (FIG. 3) that has been executed in the background process is interrupted in step T11. This corresponds to the case where it is determined in step S3 or S7 in FIG. 3 that the page data has been edited. Then, in step T12 of FIG. 5, the coarse image display unit 40 redraws a coarse image of an area having a predetermined shape feature (for example, a circumscribed rectangular area) including the added graphic in the video memory 26. In step T13, the fine image display means 42 executes the fine display process shown in FIG. 3 for the circumscribed rectangular area. In this way, fine display is preferentially performed on the circumscribed rectangular area of the added figure. Therefore, there is an advantage that the user can immediately observe the edited image portion as a fine image (actual image) and confirm the quality.
[0053]
Thus, when one unit of editing processing such as addition of one part is completed, the process returns from step T14 to step T3, and the editing processing after step T4 is executed again. Thus, the procedure of FIG. 5 is continued until the user instructs the image modification apparatus to end the image editing process.
[0054]
In the procedure of FIG. 5, an example in which a figure is added as an image editing process has been described, but the image editing process includes deletion, movement, and correction of an image part in addition to the addition of an image part. When an image part is added, as described above, the fine display process is executed again for the circumscribed rectangular area of the added part. When the image part is deleted, the fine display process is executed again for the circumscribed rectangular area of the deleted part. Further, when the image part is moved or corrected, the fine display processing is executed again for the circumscribed rectangular area of the part before movement / correction and the circumscribed rectangular area of the part after movement / correction. In this way, when a one-page image is edited, the periphery of the image component that is the object of editing can be finely displayed in a relatively short time.
[0055]
According to the above-described embodiment, the fine display process is executed as the background process in parallel with the image editing process, so that the user's editing work is not interrupted for the fine display. Therefore, there is an advantage that the work efficiency of image editing is improved. In addition, since the area having a predetermined geometric feature including the part designated by the mouse pointer is preferentially displayed over the other parts, the image portion to be edited can be quickly refined. Display can be made. In addition, other image components are gradually displayed in fine detail through background processing, so that a fine image of the entire page image can be displayed in a relatively short time while effectively using the computer resources of the image processing apparatus. Is possible.
[0056]
In order to execute the fine display processing as a thread, a UNIX-based computer (UNIX is a trademark of US Bell Laboratories (AT & T)) or a computer using Windows 95 (a trademark of Microsoft Corporation) as an operating system or the like. An image editing apparatus can be realized.
[0057]
The present invention is not limited to the above-described examples and embodiments, and can be implemented in various modes without departing from the gist thereof. For example, the following modifications are possible.
[0058]
(1) In the above embodiment, a part of the configuration realized by hardware may be replaced by software, and conversely, a part of the configuration realized by software may be replaced by hardware. Also good.
[0059]
(2) In the above embodiment, the area of the predetermined shape including the target image part existing at the position designated by the mouse pointer is preferentially finely displayed. Instead, the image within the outline of the target image part is displayed. May be finely displayed preferentially. However, as shown in the above example, if the area of the predetermined shape including the target image part is displayed in detail, the relationship between the target image part and other parts around it can be immediately observed with a fine image. can do. Therefore, there is an advantage that the user can easily perform image editing while observing the fine display.
