Abstract:
The imaging system converts raw data for an image to formatted data concurrently with compressing the formatted data for the image. The exemplary imaging system includes an image processor for generating blocks of formatted data from raw image data. The exemplary imaging system also includes an image compressor for compressing the blocks of formatted data. The compressor compresses one or more of the blocks while the image processor generates one or more blocks of formatted data.
Abstract:
A method for T.38 gateway processing non-standard frames, wherein the T.38 gateway comprises at least a transmitting gateway and a receiving gateway, and the transmitting gateway connects to a transmitting facsimile, and the receiving gateway connects to a receiving facsimile, comprises that: a) the transmitting gateway and the receiving gateway judge the types of all of the received V.21 frame; b) when the receiving gateway or the transmitting gateway receives an NSF non-standard frame, modify the NSF non-standard frame, and proceed to transmit the modified non-standard frame. The method of the present invention modifies the facsimile process in which the facsimile rate is negotiated in private frame by the gateway to a process in which negotiation is implemented in standard frame, which ensures the rate parameter can be extracted by the gateway correctly, and the network facsimile can be processed normally.
Abstract:
A digital still camera including a coding data quantity monitoring circuit (9). The monitoring circuit (9) senses a data quantity of an image signal compressed by a JPEG compression circuit (7). When a CPU (10) determines that the data quantity sensed by the coding data quantity monitoring circuit (9) is equal to or more than the maximum coding data quantity S, firstly, the object is again imaged by an image pickup element (3) to output another image signal so as to modify a quantization table used in a quantization circuit (21). Next, the image data is DCT−converted by a DCT circuit (20), quantized by the quantization circuit (21), and coded by a coding circuit (22), thereby being compressed. Another image signal compressed is recorded on a memory card (13). Here, the image signal is recorded in an area where an image signal is recorded in advance on the memory card (13).
Abstract:
A method of transmitting an image is disclosed. The method comprises transmitting from a mobile imaging device an entire image at a first resolution. The transmitted image is received and characteristics patterns contained therein are determined. An appropriate imaging algorithm is selected in accordance with the determined characteristic patterns. The mobile imaging device is commanded to re-transmit certain portions of the entire image in accordance with the selected imaging algorithm. Finally the certain portions are retransmitted from the mobile imaging device at a second resolution, which is substantially higher than said first resolution.
Abstract:
An image capture, conversion, compression, storage and transmission system provides a data signal representing the image in a format and protocol capable of being transmitted over any of a plurality of readily available transmission systems and received by readily available, standard equipment receiving stations. In its most comprehensive form, the system is capable of sending and receiving audio, documentary and visual image data to and from standard remote stations readily available throughout the world.
Abstract:
Communication-identifier-assigned image data is transmitted via a set channel using a communication identifier set for each image transmitter and a channel set in transmission. Then, a receiver which has received a plurality of image data items stores the received image data items, communication identifiers, and channels in such a manner that the received image data items are related to the communication identifiers and channels. Thumbnailed images in each image data item are displayed on one screen. When an image is selected from the thumbnailed images, an image transmitter that has transmitted the image is determined on the basis of the communication identifier and channel related to the selected image and is connected exclusively to the receiver. Images acquired from this time on are enlarged and displayed chronologically on a display module. The image transmitter and receiver constitute a wireless communication system.

Abstract:
Present systems and methods provide for adaptive job-size prediction that can enable the user of a scan-to-export function to obtain continuing feedback as original documents are being scanned, regarding the transferability of a scanned and processed data file. The compression method that is selected to process a scanned image is used to predict the output size for the associated data and to provide an estimated size for the job. The estimated size of the data being prepared for output is compared to the amount of storage space that is available at the target device and if the estimate exceeds available space, a signal is generated to terminate the scan or take other appropriate action. The user is also immediately notified if the transfer will fail for other reasons, such as the entry of an invalid target destination address or invalid user authentication.
