Title:
VECTOR MARKING DATA GENERATION DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMATION DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2018149546
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a data generation device which generates data for forming an image on a medium in a vector scan method.SOLUTION: A vector marking data generation device includes a control unit which generates vector marking data that is used by a marking device in a vector scan method from marking object image data. The control unit executes: the first step of detecting an effective pixel in the marking object image data; the second step of performing the contour tracking from the point where the effective pixel is detected and generating the contour vector marking data; and the third step of repeating processing of the first step and the second step to the marking object image data and generating the contour vector marking data for all the effective pixels of the marking object image data. The vector marking data is formed of one or more pieces of the contour vector marking data.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
