Abstract:
1. An image cropping process of a multifunction peripheral, said multifunction peripheral being configured to scan a document to acquire an original image and print said original image, said original image comprising an object image, said original image being segmented into plural band images, each of said band images comprising plural line images, said image cropping process comprising steps of: (A) reading a band image of said original image; (B) judging whether a top edge endpoint coordinate of said object image is included in said read band image by sub-steps of: (C) calculating object endpoint coordinates of all line images following said plural line images of said band image; (D) outputting said object endpoint coordinate having the minimum X-axis coordinate value and said object endpoint coordinate having the maximum X-axis coordinate value among all object endpoint coordinates of said band image; (E) receiving said object endpoint coordinates outputted in said step (D) for further performing a printing processing operation; (F) reading a next band image, and searching all object endpoint coordinates of all line images of said next band image; (G) outputting said object endpoint coordinate having the minimum X-axis coordinate value and said object endpoint coordinate having the maximum X-axis coordinate value among all object endpoint coordinates of said next band image; (H) receiving said object endpoint coordinates outputted in said step (H) for further performing said printing processing operation; and (I) repeatedly performing said steps (F), (G) and (H).
