Abstract:
1. An image data processing method for making it possible to read image data acquired by different types of image data acquisition means and processing the read image data so as to provide an optimum output result, said image data processing method comprising the steps of: presetting image data processing contents considering processing operation characteristics of the image data acquisition means assigned the identification information in response to identification information assigned for identifying the different types of image data acquisition means; reading the image data provided by one image data acquisition means as image data to be processed; determining which image data acquisition means the image data to be processed is acquired by according to the identification information; selecting the image data processing contents corresponding to the determination result in response thereto; and processing the image data to be processed so as to provide the optimum output result in accordance with the selected image data processing contents; wherein the image data processing contents are image correction processing contents for making a correction to an image and image scaling processing contents for enlarging and reducing an image, wherein the image correction processing contents include color correction processing, brightness correction processing, contrast correction processing, color saturation correction processing, noise removal processing, smoothing processing, and contour correction processing, at least one correction processing of which is performed, and wherein the image scaling processing contents are to perform image scaling processing set based on a resolution of the image data acquisition means.
