Image processing system provided with image enchasing and synthesizing function
First Claim
1. An image processing system comprising:
- area setting means for setting up a masked area on a base original sheet and a trimmed area on an extracted original sheet, positions of the masked area and the trimmed area being correlated with each other such that centers of rectangles circumscribing the masked area and the trimmed area are in alignment with each other;
image input means for performing a reading operation on the base original sheet and a reading operation on a portion of the extracted original sheet, the portion including the trimmed area set by said area setting means;
image processing means for performing a masking operation on image data of the base original sheet and performing an enchasing operation on image data of the portion of the extracted original sheet on the basis of a correlation of the positions of the masked area and the trimmed area set by said area setting means; and
image output means, responsive to image data obtained by the masking operation and image data obtained by the enchasing operation, for forming a synthesized image in which an image of the trimmed area is enchased in the masked area of the base original sheet.

Abstract
Disclosed is an image processing system which is provided with an image enchasing and synthesizing function for setting an image in a trimmed area of an extracted original sheet into a masked area on a base original sheet and synthesizing the images of the two original sheets. The image processing system includes an area setting section for setting up a masked area on a base original sheet and a trimmed area on an extracted original sheet with positions of the masked area and the trimmed area set properly in alignment with a center of a circumscribed rectangle, an image input section for performing a reading operation on the base original sheet and a reading operation on the extracted original sheet as adjusted to the trimmed area set by the area setting section, an image processing section for performing a masking operation on image data on the base original sheet and an enchasing operation for image data on the extracted original sheet on the basis of a setup of editing areas by the area setting section, and an image output section for putting out image data obtained by enchasing and synthesizing an image of the trimmed area in the masked area on the base original sheet.

7. A method of enchasing and synthesizing images comprising the steps of:
-
setting up a masked area on a base original sheet and a trimmed area on an extracted original sheet, positions for the masked area and the trimmed area being correlated with each other such that centers of rectangles circumscribing the masked area and the trimmed area are in alignment with each other; reading the base original sheet and a portion of the extracted original sheet, the portion including the trimmed area; creating first image data of an image in which the base original sheet is masked with the masked area; creating second image data of an image to be enchased within the masked area of the base original sheet on the basis of a correlation of the positions of the masked area and the trimmed area; and responsive to the first and second image data, forming a synthesized image in which an image of the trimmed area is enchased in the masked area of the base original sheet.

8. An image processing system comprising:
-
area setting means for setting up a nonrectangular masked area on a base original sheet and a nonrectangular trimmed area on an extracted original sheet, positions of the nonrectangular masked area and the nonrectangular trimmed area being correlated with each other such that centers of rectangles circumscribing the nonrectangular masked area and the nonrectangular trimmed area are in alignment with each other; image input means for performing a reading operation on the base original sheet and a reading operation on a portion of the extracted original sheet, the portion including the nonrectangular trimmed area set by said area setting means; image processing means for performing a masking operation on image data of the base original sheet and performing an enchasing operation on image data of the portion of the extracted original sheet on the basis of a correlation of the positions of the nonrectangular masked area and the nonrectangular trimmed area set by said area setting means; and image input means, responsive to image data obtained by the masking operation and image data obtained by the enchasing operation, for forming a synthesized image in which an image of the nonrectangular trimmed area is enchased in the nonrectangular masked area of the base original sheet.
