Method and apparatus for processing image
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of effecting desired image processes on specific regions of an original image, comprising the steps of:
- a first step of setting specific points in said original image, at which the desired image processes are to be effected;
a second step of setting a first boundary which surrounds an image region comprised of image data which satisfy a given condition with respect to image data at the specific points in said original image;
a third step of effecting a first image process on a first specific region surrounded by said first boundary to thereby produce a first processed image;
a fourth step of shifting said first boundary either inwardly or outwardly so as to set a second boundary; and
a fifth step of effecting a second image process on a second specific region formed between said first and second boundaries to thereby produce a second processed image which is an intermediate image between said original image and said first processed image.

Abstract
A read image is displayed and a specific point is set to a desired point to be subjected to an image processing. A first specific region is set within the range of a circle whose center is the specific point. A boundary of the first specific region is then expanded or contracted, thereby obtaining a boundary. A second specific region is set between the so-obtained boundary and the boundary of the first specific region. A predetermined image processing is effected on the first and second specific regions.

9. A method of effecting desired image processes on specific regions of an original image, comprising the steps of:
-
a first step of displaying specific points set in said original image at which the desired image processes are to be effected; a second step of displaying a first boundary which surrounds an image region comprised of image data which satisfy a given condition with respect to image data at the specific points in said original image; a third step of shifting said first boundary either inwardly or outwardly so as to set a second boundary and displaying said second boundary together with said original image; a fourth step of effecting a second image process on a second specific region formed between said first and second boundaries to thereby produce a second processed image which is an intermediate image between said original image and said first processed image; and a fifth step of combining said original image with said first and second processing images and displaying the combined image.
