20110286683 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD - According to this invention, image processes are classified into a plurality of categories, and the result of processes belonging to each category is written in an intermediate buffer prepared for the category. The order of categories is determined in advance, and an output from a process of a preceding category serves as an input to a process of a succeeding category. The preceding category includes image processes such as automatic correction requiring no quick response. The succeeding category includes image processes such as manual correction requiring a quick response. | 11-24-2011 |
20110289504 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS - When a user inputs an image addition instruction from a UI input unit, a job registration unit registers a job corresponding to the instruction in a job list for each type of processing. When undo is input from the UI input unit, a current position pointer prepared for each type of processing returns to the immediately preceding job. When redo is input, the current position pointer moves to the immediately succeeding job. When a processing execution instruction is input, out of jobs registered in the job list, the job indicated by the current position pointer and preceding jobs are executed in a predetermined order. | 11-24-2011 |
20120063640 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM, AND IMAGE FORMING METHOD - An upstream image processing apparatus determines, when geometric conversion is instructed, whether the result of downstream correction processing changes due to the geometric conversion, and if it changes, the apparatus changes the conversion to geometric conversion that does not cause a change in the correction result. Then, the geometric conversion is performed on a target image, and the resultant image is transmitted to a downstream image processing apparatus. Together therewith, instruction information indicating an instruction for correction processing and instruction information indicating geometric transformation processing for performing geometric transformation processing to the instructed degree are transmitted to the downstream image processing apparatus. The downstream image processing apparatus adds an instruction for image processing as appropriate, and thereafter transmits the resultant data to an image forming apparatus. The image forming apparatus forms an image by performing correction processing and geometric transformation processing that have been instructed. | 03-15-2012 |
20130021498 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND PROGRAM - A blurring process is performed on an addition area including a point light source area detected in an image to be processed so that the nearer to the circumference of the addition area, the higher the luminance value while an addition coefficient is being increased according to a distance from the center. | 01-24-2013 |
20130022289 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM CAPABLE OF DETERMINING A REGION CORRESPONDING TO LOCAL LIGHT FROM AN IMAGE - An image processing apparatus includes an input unit configured to input image data to be processed, an determination unit configured to determine a region corresponding to local light in the image data input by the input unit, and a specification unit configured to determine a characteristic of the image data input by the input unit, wherein the determination unit changes, according to the characteristic of the image data specified by the specification unit, an determination criterion of the region corresponding to the local light. | 01-24-2013 |
20130022290 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - An image processing apparatus includes an input unit configured to input image data, a detection unit configured to detect a region corresponding to local light in an image represented by the image data input by the input unit, and a processing unit configured to perform blur processing on the region corresponding to the local light and detected by the detection unit, wherein the processing unit varies, according to a position of the region corresponding to the local light and detected by the detection unit, an area on which to perform the blur processing. | 01-24-2013 |

20140218753 | IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD AND IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS - In low-resolution processing (reduction processing) in which input image data is separated into character print data and image print data to generate print data of lower resolution than that of the input image data, if a plurality of pixels is simply reduction-processed to one pixel, color of a color image surrounding a character may change. In an image processing method, calculation for performing reduction processing so that the plurality of pixels in the input image data corresponds to one pixel in the print data is performed as follows. A ratio of using a pixel value of a character attribute pixel in the calculation is set to 0, or set smaller than a ratio of using a pixel value of an image attribute pixel. As a result, a change in the color of the color image surrounding the character can be prevented. | 08-07-2014 |
20150022580 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD - Because the ejection state of a printing element in a printing apparatus may vary at all times, an inspection item for inspecting a printed image may be set in consideration of the ejection state of the printing element. An inspection item for inspecting a printed image may be set based on information including a temperature characteristic of a printing head and a state of ink such as an elapsed time from the last ejection. This allows image inspection that matches with variations in the ejection state of the printing element. | 01-22-2015 |
