Abstract
Partial lines of data representative of adjacent pixels in an image pixel matrix are reordered to facilitate reconstitution of a scanned image. The partial lines are received by a signal processing circuit and are assigned unique addresses by reference to base address and offset values. Each partial line is then stored in a memory address corresponding to the assigned address. The values of the base addresses and offsets may be altered to accommodate different image matrix sizes and scanning patterns.
