ABSTRACT:
An image synthesizing device in which partial images can be rapidly processed (for example, by enlarging, reducing, turning) and synthesized. When synthesizing information for partial images stored in a partial image storage portion is calculated by a synthesizing data calculating portion, accessible rectangular areas, which consist each of a plurality of pixel rows and columns, of partial images stored in the partial image storage portion are accessed one by one by a partial image accessing portion and each of accessed areas is processed by enlarging or reducing or turning on the basis of the calculation results given from the synthesizing data calculating portion. The processed partial images whose areas have been enlarged, reduced or turned, are synthesized by a partial image synthesizing portion on the basis of the synthesizing information, and a synthesized image is stored in a synthesized image storage portion.
