Claim 4
Dependent Claim
26 words
An image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein each of said first and second input means has a line sensor for reading the image information.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
69 words
An image processing method, comprising the steps of: inputting image information from a front surface of an original and image information from a rear surface of the original, respectively, line-by-line; composing the image information for one line from the front surface and the image information for one line from the rear surface, and outputting image information for one composed line; and compressing the composed image information for one line.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
69 words
An image processing method, comprising the steps of: inputting image information from a front surface of an original and image information from a rear surface of the original, respectively, line-by-line; composing the image information for one line from the front surface and the image information for one line from the rear surface, and outputting image information for one composed line; and compressing the composed image information for one line.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
24 words
An image processing apparatus according to claim 4, further comprising the step of storing the image information which was compressed into a memory medium.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
200 words
An image processing apparatus, comprising: a first reading unit for reading an image from a front surface of an original, line-by-line; a second reading unit for reading an image from a rear surface of the original, line-by-line; a first composing means for serially composing the image information for one line read by said first reading unit and the image formation for one line read by said second reading unit; digital image processing means for digitally processing the image information composed at said first composing means; separating means for separating the image information processed by said digital processing means into image information for the front surface and image information for the rear surface of the original; a delay circuit for delaying one of the image information for the front surface or the image information for the rear surface which are separated by said separating means; second composing means for composing (1) the image information separated by said separating means and not delayed by said delay circuit, and (2) the image information separated by said separating means and delayed by said delay circuit, into image information for one line; compressing means for compressing the image information composed by said second composing means.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
200 words
An image processing apparatus, comprising: a first reading unit for reading an image from a front surface of an original, line-by-line; a second reading unit for reading an image from a rear surface of the original, line-by-line; a first composing means for serially composing the image information for one line read by said first reading unit and the image formation for one line read by said second reading unit; digital image processing means for digitally processing the image information composed at said first composing means; separating means for separating the image information processed by said digital processing means into image information for the front surface and image information for the rear surface of the original; a delay circuit for delaying one of the image information for the front surface or the image information for the rear surface which are separated by said separating means; second composing means for composing (1) the image information separated by said separating means and not delayed by said delay circuit, and (2) the image information separated by said separating means and delayed by said delay circuit, into image information for one line; compressing means for compressing the image information composed by said second composing means.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
35 words
