ABSTRACT:
An image scanning apparatus efficiently compresses and encodes image data obtained by scanning both sides of an original sheet by using a line memory storing three lines. Image data output from a first scanner and image data output from a second scanner are alternately output from a switching unit on an individual line basis. The line memory stores three consecutive lines of the image data output from the switching unit. The three lines include a current line, an immediately preceding line and a second immediately preceding line immediately preceding the immediately preceding line, the current line including a current pixel being encoded. Reference pixels are extracted from among pixels included in the current line and the second immediately preceding line. A pixel value of the current pixel is encoded by using a predicted pixel value of the current pixel as a parameter so as to output encoded image data corresponding to both sides of the original sheet. The prediction of the pixel value is performed by referring to the reference pixels.
