Abstract:
1. An image data processing system comprising: an input scanner configured to generate a first image data output; an image pre-process module operatively connected to the input scanner, the image pre-process module configured to receive the first image data output and generate a second image data output in a binary format; a first data compression module operatively connected to the image pre-process module, the first data compression module configured to compress the second image data output and generate a third image data output; a binary data memory device operatively connected to the first data compression module and configured to store the third image data output; a first data decompression module operatively connected to the binary data memory device, the first data decompression module configured to decompress the third image data output and generate a fourth image data output substantially equivalent to the second image data output; and a first binary to contone restoration module operatively connected to the first data compression module, the first binary to contone restoration module configured to restore the fourth image data output to a fifth image data output in a contone format.
