ABSTRACT:
Image size converter4converts the size of the image data stored in image input part1to an arbitrary size and stores the converted data. Image enhancer5uses the character frame design data stored in character frame information memory3to extract, from the image stored in image size converter4, an image of a region containing character frames, and enhances and stores this extracted image. Image outline detector6forms an outline image from the image obtained by image enhancer5. Character frame center detector7uses the outline image to detect the coordinates of the centers of the character frames of the input image data. Character frame remover8uses the character frame center coordinates and the character frame design data to remove the character frames, and outputs the result from character image output part9.
