Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for storing information in images 1' such as drawings and maps using a computer.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, image information such as -'+Z VC drawings and maps has been stored, displayed on a display (δ), and printed out, and has been used in a wide range of fields. Up to now, many methods for recording image information have been put into practical use, such as a 1μ photocopier, a microfilm, or a magnetic or optical recording device.

(The problem that the invention seeks to solve) However, the 11-shakai method simply copies the object in its actual size, reduced size,
Otherwise, it is recorded in enlarged size, which requires a large storage space, making it difficult to save the necessary information. Therefore, the conventional method described above has the disadvantage that it is not possible to easily partially change, correct, or add image information to the image information.

As already explained, in the recording method using microfilm, it is not easy to partially change, modify, or add some information to the image 1# information. moreover,
It was not easy to externally add IR information such as "6 other colors" to the original picture.Therefore, Fusaku had no choice but to rely on the F9 sincere method, and the new information was not included. There was a drawback that it was not easy to mix the data with other D11f information by obsessively editing the ? It was difficult to partially change, modify, or add to the image information, and it was also international to add Ike's t#m to the original image partially.For this reason, the entire image tliF report? In order to sample at certain intervals and record a large number of dots as a set, a large number of recording elements are required, which has the disadvantage that the entire apparatus becomes expensive.

The purpose of the present invention is to perform all pre-processing on the input image 1# information according to the predetermined processing standards, and then
The object of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks by providing an image j blue report recording method that allows partial modification (or correction or addition) of image 1 # information and partially adds other information.

(Problem? Means for Solving) The image cleaning method according to the present invention is based on the image tv! The system is constructed by comprising an import device, an image information processing device, a character/image information processing device, and a storage device.

The image information human-powered device generates images that make up the screen.
! l! This is for converting the original image into an electrical signal by inputting it.

The image information processing device #L is for processing image information converted into electrical signals according to a predetermined basis.

The character/image processing unit 1 is for processing the image information processing unit X'c generated message and generating all new information including characters by externally inputting it.

iI-! Hamata,, f! d. Regarding the new information 1 sent from the text/image information processing system, is the shape conforming to certain predetermined criteria? The heading is for recording all the characteristics of the above shape.

(Example) Next, what about drawings? The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the following.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing two types of information 4 for realizing the image recording method according to the present invention, and the state of the image information recording method constructed by combining them. In the first part (1), 1 is an image information input device for converting the original picture into a signal, and 2 is an image information processing device for processing (image information converted into a signal) according to predetermined processing standards. 3 is a character cleansing/image cleansing processing device It14 is a storage device; 5 is a display device.

The information input from the image information input device 1 has a vertical axis (
There are data groups of information in the (Y-axis) direction, information in the beak axis (X-axis) direction, and white or black monochrome information. If the image information input device δ1 is also capable of inputting colors t*'HJ, the data group will include color information 4 in addition to the above.

When the image information processing device +12 has received all the data for one screen, the image information processing device 2 inputs the image information input device sequentially from a1 to J, a2 to b2, a3 to b3, as shown in FIG. The state g of the iI report is determined using the same sampling pitch as scanned in step 1. If the information is 0 (absent) (white information), skip it and move on to the next dot. When this scanning is performed and information of l'' (existence) is detected, the direction determined from that point is 11, and the center is Pa in the ``enlarged view of P3 area'' in Figure 2. Then, starting from the first dot (Pa) on the right side, dots are judged 118 times in a clockwise direction from P4 to P9 to P8 to P7.

If the dot is @ON, skip it and proceed to the determination of the next dot. If the dot is l#, continue the same determination as above with that dot as the center.

Komaji continues to determine whether it is 0# or "l". If it is “O”, skip it and move on to the next point, and if it is “1”, focus on the corresponding point and repeat the steps above.
Continue with the judge's judgment. If "O" continues for more than a predetermined number of times, that point is regarded as an independent point, and its (X, Y) coordinates i and attributes (for example, color) 5r: It is recorded in the storage device 4.

The continuity of the dots is sequentially checked using the above method, and turn matching is performed with a predetermined shape according to the processing standard.

In FIG. 2, the curvature between P3 and p+oo is determined and the line is regarded as a straight line. P3- Ptoo-P2
Since the curvature at the point P too between O0 is large, the line between Pl and Proo and the line between psoo and P2O0 are considered to be separate straight lines. In this way, a shape that meets a certain predetermined judgment JiJ, & is found, and the characteristics (including attributes) of that shape are recorded in the entire storage device 4. ``Features'' means, for example, in the case of a straight line, both ends (

Y) coordinate, (X, Y) coordinates of both ends of the radius 19 arc, and attributes. For shapes other than the above, 1'8'1
Similar characteristics can be found.

All the information input from the image information input device 1 is determined by the method described above and recorded in the storage device i4. By automatically performing such processing by the entire image information processing apparatus 1, it is possible to achieve a dramatic reduction in the amount of information that could not be obtained using conventional methods.

Further, the signal generated by the image information processing device 2 is processed by the character information/image information processing device t3 and displayed on the display device 5, and the operator's judgment + tFi & ? l
? New b information can be generated by changing, correcting, or adding 11 to 1, or by inputting the pond information from an external device and performing a logical calculation between both pieces of information. Furthermore, it is also possible to automatically generate new information according to predetermined processing standards without the operator's judgment. The generated fair copy is recorded on a storage medium by a recording device using magnetism or light. The media can be freely removable and these information
All 11 can be provided to users who need them. Each device used in the present invention includes a tiF signal generation/storage device that records image information in its original form or in a processed state as a hypochondriacal signal, and records information generated by the user. All you have to do is prepare the device for use. Therefore, since a device to generate the information is not necessarily required, it is possible to create an inexpensive system for the user.Also, unlike a device using microfilm,
Since all the information input from the original picture or the processed l+'f information is transformed into 4K signals, input/output operations with external equipment are extremely easy.

In the above explanation, examples are given with reference to the drawings, but this is only one example, and if the ill report processing rules I@wo are defined according to the purpose, new information can be created. It can also be generated.

For example, adding colors to an original painting, adding shapes or dots to a private university,
Alternatively, it is possible to perform processing such as reduction, making line segments thinner or thicker, black and white reversal, and in some cases color reversal (conversion related to complementary colors). This is done once, storage device 4
Even after it has been input into the computer, it can be retrieved from the storage device 4 and processed or modified as many times as necessary. All of these processes are variations on the method of the present invention, and are all included in the present invention.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, the present invention is an original painting? 1. It is easy to process, and the origin of the data obtained directly from the original painting or processed is greatly reduced. Ii! There is less number of ffr≠, and the system is ξlung! I can build it myself! Jh'6. T! !
Is it possible to use a digitizer? In addition, compared to the conventional method of inputting data by hand, it is possible to record 90% in one's own time, and because it is converted to a d/λ signal, it is possible to save information with peace of mind. This has the effect that it is easy to process the material and process the frugality/reduction as described above.
