<p>An image input apparatus comprising:
a scanner control section for controlling a scanner by a control signal, said scanner having a reading surface on which an original image is placed to be read and generating image data through reading the reading surface when said scanner receives the control signal:
an image input section for receiving the image data generated by said scanner;
an image recognition section for recognizing an outline of an original image placed on the reading surface in accordance with the image data obtained through reading throughout the reading surface, which is fed to said image input section;
an image transformation section for performing a transformation of image data inside an image area encircled by the outline of the original image recognized by said image recognition section into reproduction image data to output a reproduction image in which image quality is adjusted by an output device for outputting the reproduction image in accordance with the reproduction image data; an image storage section for storing the reproduction image data obtained by said image transformation section;
a start handler for instructing a start of reading of an original image; and
an operation control section responsive to an operation of said start handler for continuously performing a series of operations of a control for said scanner by said scanner control section, a receipt of the image data by said image input section, a recognition of the outline of the original image by said image recognition section, a transformation into the reproduction image data by said image transformation section, and a storage of the reproduction image data by said image storing section, said series operations being performed without being subjected to an operation by an operator halfway.</p> |
