Image and character separating and outputting device and method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses an image and character separating and outputting device and a method thereof. The method includes the following steps: image and character data is inputted into a buffer by an input interface; a non-character output module acquires data from the buffer to separate a non-character part out from the image and character data and output the non-character part out from an output interface; a character output module acquires data from the buffer, and separates a character part out from the image and character part to output the character part from the output interface. The invention firstly outputs the non-character part and secondly outputs the character part by separating the character part and the non-character part in the image and character data, thus the outputted character part is prevented from being covered by the non-character part.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of prepress computer typesetting, in particular to an image-text separation output device and a method thereof. Background technique [0002] In the current typesetting software, the display level of the text follows the placement level of the text container, and the object placed later is higher than the text container, and when overlapping occurs, the text will be pressed. Although usually the operator avoids the overlapping of text and other layout objects to ensure the integrity of the text content, but in occasions such as newspaper production, due to the very tight time requirements and the very fast typesetting speed, text and other layout objects may occur due to operational errors. Incidents of overlapping leading to printing accidents still happen from time to time.

Problems solved by technology

Although usually the operator avoids the overlapping of text and other layout objects to ensure the integrity of the text content, but in occasions such as newspaper production, due to the very tight time requirements and the very fast typesetting speed, text and other layout objects may occur due to operational errors. Incidents of overlapping leading to printing accidents still happen from time to time

At present, most newspaper typesetting systems adopt the following two solutions to solve the above problems: one is the manual verification method, which relies on the typesetting personnel and layout verification personnel to manually verify the proofs, and adjust the places where problems are found. It is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is easy to miss and make mistakes; another method is the automatic verification method, which adds a checking function to the system. Before the layout is finalized, it automatically checks the boundaries of all objects on the layout to determine whether there is any difference between the text container and other layouts. Object positions overlap, and if so, warn and not allow the operator to finalize

In this method, for non-rectangular text containers or layout objects, the calculation graphics intersection algorithm for the outer contour usually has errors, and the non-overlapping parts may report overlapping, and the overlapping parts cannot be detected, and there may be inaccuracies due to calculation errors. Allow clients to finalize questions

Therefore, the above two methods cannot well solve the problem of printing accidents caused by other layout objects covering text
