Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an image data registration method, and in particular, to an electronic filing system, automatic reshaping 1 display 9 of human-powered images.
The present invention relates to an image data registration method suitable for performing image division and simplifying registration of image data in this format.

[Conventional technology] Image data such as memos, drawings, maps, illustrations, etc., which had to be encoded repeatedly and was previously considered difficult to process on a computer, can be stored as files (registered) as images, and searched for when needed. There is an electronic filing system as a system that can display on a display or make a hard copy. When registering image data in an electronic filing system such as 2, place the slip or book containing the image information to be registered on a reading unit (e.g. reading plate) and read it using an image scanner. , the read image data is registered in the storage device. Here, the book (
When reading image information in a book format, a shadow occurs along the center M (fold line) of the book, unlike a single sheet image. Further, when the reading range of the scanner and the size of the book are different, a shadow is also generated around the book. Therefore, when registering single-format image information in the storage device, trim the image and delete the shadow part using a mouse (pointing device for moving the cursor on the CR7 screen) before registering. 6 Also, after dividing and processing one image data, g,! ! There are also things to do.

Examples of related patents include Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 59-172
Publication No. 082 is mentioned.

Problem to be Solved by the Invention 1 In the conventional method described above, only image trimming processing and image division processing are performed for each input image, and for multiple images input continuously, There is no consideration given to automatically performing the same trimming process or image division process continuously, and there is a problem in that it takes time to process a large amount of image data continuously.

The purpose of the present invention is to improve the points that have not been taken into account in the past, and to enable efficient registration in an electronic filing system by performing the same trimming process or image division process on continuously input images. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for registering image data.

[Means for solving the problem]

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention inputs image data with an image scanner, displays the image on a display device connected to the control device under the control of a control device, and registers the input image data in a storage device. In the electronic filing system, the control device includes a deletion area setting means for setting a region from which a plurality of parts are to be deleted from one manual image, and a deletion region setting means for dividing the one input image into a plurality of regions. A dividing 1g setting means is provided for setting the dividing line.

The deletion area set by the deletion area setting means and the dividing line set by the division line setting means are displayed simultaneously with the input image data on the display device, and the portion corresponding to the deletion area is deleted under the control of the control device. The present invention is characterized in that the input image data is divided into images, and the divided images remaining after the deletion and division are assigned consecutive numbers and registered in the storage device.

[Effect]

For image data input to a fixed area on memory, a part of the input image is automatically deleted along the memorized trimming area, and the image after the deletion process is executed using the memorized dividing line. Image data is automatically trimmed, divided into multiple parts, and consecutive numbers are assigned by dividing an image into multiple parts, assigning consecutive numbers stored in a counter to the divided images, and registering them in a storage device. Automatic registration of multiple images is possible.

【Example〕

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of an electronic filing system to which the present invention is applied.

In FIG. 2, 21 is a microprocessor.

FIGS. 3(a) and 3(b) are diagrams for explaining the reason why noise occurs during reading. This indicates that when an image of a 111) distorted document, such as a book, is manually processed, the size of the reading plate of the scanner 24 in FIG. 1 is different from the size of the book.

In the second state, even if the wood 28 is spread over a part of the reading plate 27 of the scanner 24, there is always a gap 29 in the center of the book 28.
occurs. For this reason, the input image of the book 28 becomes a shadow that appears in the center of the book 28. Also, one similar thing is 28
Since the shadow also occurs around the book 28 in the input image, a shadow is also generated around the book 28 in the input image.

FIGS. 4(a) and 4(b) are diagrams for explaining trimming designation, one division designation, and consecutive number designation of an input image according to this embodiment.

In FIGS. 4(a) and 4(b), 11 is a display device r! 12

Here, the above-mentioned display area displays image information stored in the bitmap memory within the control section 21. That is, the input image from the scanner 24 is temporarily stored in the memory within the control unit 21, and is sequentially transferred to the bitmap memory and displayed.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart showing the procedure of image processing under the control of the microprocessor in the control section 21. As shown in FIG. Hereinafter, the operation of this embodiment will be explained according to FIG. 1 while referring to FIG.

First, the microprocessor of the control unit 21 is initialized (step 101), and the image of the tree 28 set on the reading plate 27 is scanned by the scanner 24, and the image is read on the display screen 11 as shown in FIG. The resulting image is displayed (step 102). Next, it is checked whether it is a new setting for trimming line [5] (step 103), and if it is a new setting, 1 horizontal and vertical trimming line 1 is set for the displayed image.

5), memorize the position (step 106). If there is no setting instruction, the setting amount already stored in the memory in the control unit 21 is used. Here, if there are no new settings or memories, no deletion is performed. The left, right, top and bottom edges of the scanner input image are both ends of the trimming line 15. For example, if the left edge is the first vertical trimming line, the right edge is the nth (even number) trimming line, and the vertical deletion area 1
4 is l, 2.3 and 4. This applies to combination areas of trimming lines that start with an odd number and end with an even number.

The horizontal deletion area 14 is also processed in the same way.

Next, a dividing line that divides the information area 13 into two is set, and its position is stored in the memory in the control unit 21 (step 1
07), then the counter display area 1 on the 1 display screen 11

can be freely updated from the keyboard 22.

After the image processing as described above, the image information for two pages of the book is divided into two parts and recorded in the external storage section 25 in one operation by the instruction from the keyboard 22 ( Step 109). If the number of divided images is n (n≦2) (step 110), the registration process of step 109 is executed n times. If there is the following process (Step 1
ll), the process returns to step 102 and the above registration process is continuously executed.

In this way, in this embodiment, unnecessary parts of one image can be deleted, one image can be divided into one image, and multiple images can be registered with consecutive numbers assigned automatically. Note that in this example, one division [
Although the image for two pages of the book is divided into two parts using one line 16 and registered, a large image such as a map may be registered in n parts by using a plurality of dividing lines vertically and horizontally. Alternatively, a mouse may be used to set the deletion area.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, in the electronic filing system, it is possible to automatically trim and divide the incoming horn images and give consecutive numbers, so that it is possible to remove noise from multiple images that contain noise at fixed positions. This has the effect of efficiently registering images while dividing them and assigning consecutive numbers to the divided images.
