Abstract
The invention is directed to an image processing system, which includes an image sensor (DD) for introducing image information of an object to detect image data for indicating at least a density of the object. A scanning table memory (TM) is adapted to provide addresses in accordance with horizontal or vertical scanning lines, and provide a horizontal or vertical location information for each address. Also, the memory (TM) is adapted to provide a window on the basis of the location information and in accordance with the object, and store the window in a table memory. And, an image processor (DP) is adapted to provide a desired image on the basis of a logical product of the image data and the window. The memory (TM) is adapted to provide the window for the image which will be used at the next iteration step on the basis of the desired image formed by the image processor (DP). The memory (TM) may include a window setting unit (WM) which is adapted to set a x-coordinate and a y-coordinate to at least a reference point for each address on the basis of the image data provided for forming the desired image, and set a predetermined width to each reference point to provide the window and s…
