Multi-mode image processing method and a system thereof
First Claim
1. A multi-mode image processing method capturing and storing image information of an object in line art, gray-level and colors multiple modes, which comprises the steps of:
- capturing a preliminary image, in which an image capturing device is used to capture a preliminary colors image of the object;
analyzing image information, in which an image analyzing device is used to group the preliminary colors image into line art image areas, gray-level image areas, and colors image areas;
capturing an advanced image, in which the image capturing device obtains an advanced line art image, an advanced gray-level image, and an advanced colors image of the object according to the line art image areas, the gray-level image areas, and the colors image areas; and
storing image information, in which an image storage device stores the advanced line art image, the advanced gray-level image, and the advanced colors image in a multi-mode image file.

Abstract
This specification discloses a multi-mode image processing method and the corresponding system. Multiple modes, including line art, gray level, and colors, are used to capture and store image information. An image capture device is used to capture a preliminary color image. An image analyzing device divides the preliminary color image into line art image areas, gray-level image areas, and color image areas. The image capture device captures an advanced line art image, an advanced gray-level image, and an advanced color image. Users can select the line art image areas, the gray-level image areas, and the color image areas in order to obtain the advanced line art image, the advanced gray-level image, and the advanced color image, respectively. An image storage device stores the multi-mode image information into a multi-mode image file.
