ABSTRACT:
The present invention concerns copying apparatus which automatically controls the quality of copies. The copying apparatus includes a density detector for detecting the frequency of occurrence of density values along a scanning line of a document to be copied, i.e., the frequency distribution of density values is determined. When the frequency distribution has at least three maxima, a smoothing device smooths the frequency distribution via a predetermined filter function till the frequency distribution has one or two maxima. In the event the frequency distribution has one or two maxima, a density detecting device detects at least one density value according to a maximum or minimum value of the frequency distribution. A control device then controls the copy quality of a reproduced image according to the density value.
