| 20080199104 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR OBTAINING DRAWING POINT DATA, AND DRAWING METHOD AND APPARATUS - The drawing point data obtaining method and apparatus subject original image data to transformation processing to obtain transformed image data as drawing point data used to draw an image carried by the original image data on a drawing target. The method and apparatus maintain in advance multiple sets of transformed image data obtained by performing transformation processing on the original image data under multiple different transformation processing conditions, choose, as temporary transformed image data, one set obtained under a condition close to an entered transformation processing condition and perform the transformation processing on the thus chosen temporary transformed image data in accordance with a differential between the entered condition and the condition for the chosen temporary transformed image data to thereby obtain the transformed image data as the drawing point data. | 08-21-2008 |
| 20090059295 | Plotting Device and Image Data Creation Method - When a pixel pitch formed on a substrate is different from a micro mirror read pitch, image data is stored as divided image data having continuous memory addresses in a memory. It is possible to read data from the divided image data by memory read means rapidly (in a short time) so as to create mirror data. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20090147276 | Image Recording Apparatus, Image Recording Method, Data Structure, Recording Medium, Data Processing Apparatus and Method - A compressed mirror data generator converts compressed data transmitted from a RIP server into compressed mirror data to be supplied to micromirrors of DMDS, and transmits the compressed data to an exposure unit. A frame data generator of the exposure unit decompresses the compressed mirror data, converts the decompressed mirror data into frame data, and supplies the frame data through a DMD controller to the DMDs, thereby controlling DMD micromirrors to record an image by way of exposure. | 06-11-2009 |
| 20090161173 | Frame Data Producing Apparatus, Method and Plotting Apparatus - A micro-mirror unit of data from a plot point formation element unit data to a plot unit of frame data. A micro-mirror unit of data to be sequentially supplied to a plurality of micro-mirrors is produced from an image data corresponding to an image to be formed in a plot screen by use of DMDs each having the plurality of micro-mirrors. An intermediate data is then produced by extracting data change points of the produced micro-mirror unit of data. The data is inverted for each of the data change points in the produced intermediate data, thereby performing the transportation from the micro-mirror unit of data to the DMD unit of frame data. | 06-25-2009 |

| 20080205744 | Drawing Point Data Obtainment Method and Apparatus - In a method for obtaining drawing point data that is used for drawing an image on a substrate by moving, relative to the substrate, a plurality of drawing point formation units for forming drawing points based on the drawing point data and by sequentially forming, based on the movement, drawing points on the substrate, an address in a memory, at which image data representing an image corresponding to a drawing start position of each of drawing point formation units is stored, is obtained as a readout start address of each of the drawing point formation units. Further, drawing point data for each of the drawing point formation units is obtained by sequentially reading out image data from respective readout start addresses along the respective drawing point data paths in image data corresponding to the drawing paths of the drawing point formation units on the substrate. | 08-28-2008 |
| 20090051970 | IMAGE DATA STORAGE METHODS, IMAGE DATA STORAGE CONTROL APPARATUSES, IMAGE DATA STORAGE PROGRAMS, METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR FRAME DATA GENERATION AND PROGRAMS THEREFOR, METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR DATA ACQUISITION, AND METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR IMAGE DRAWING - An image data storage method is provided for obtaining image drawing spot data to be inputted to an image drawing spot forming unit that forms image drawing spots on an image drawing surface. The method comprises the step of storing the image data in storage means in such a manner that a direction along which addresses in the storage means are consecutive agrees with a direction of arrangement of the image data corresponding to a predetermined scanning direction of the image drawing spot forming unit relative to the image drawing surface. | 02-26-2009 |

| 20090115981 | DRAWING POINT DATA OBTAINMENT METHOD AND APPARATUS AND DRAWING METHOD AND APPARATUS - A drawing point data obtainment method is a method for obtaining drawing point data that is used when an image is drawn on a drawing object by relatively moving a drawing point formation area, in which a drawing point is formed based on the drawing point data, with respect to the drawing object and by sequentially forming, based on the movement of the drawing point formation area, the drawing points on the drawing object. In the drawing point data obtainment method, information about a drawing point data track of the drawing point formation area in original image data of the image is obtained and a plurality of drawing point data sets corresponding to the drawing point data track is obtained, based on the obtained information about the drawing point data track, from the image data. | 05-07-2009 |
