    摘要: Pixels in a window, which corresponds to the position of an input pixel and has a predetermined size, are extracted from a reduced image obtained by reducing an input image to a predetermined scale. Substitute data used to substitute the value of the input pixel is generated based on the extracted pixels in the window. The difference value between the substitute data and input pixel value is calculated and is compared with a first threshold value. When the difference value is smaller than the first threshold value, the input pixel value is substituted by the substitute data. Thus, low-frequency noise reduction can be attained using a minimum required memory size while suppressing adverse effects such as a resolution drop and the like.

    摘要: It is an object of this invention to prevent a false edge phenomenon in quantization processing for a multilevel image. In order to achieve this object, according to the invention, (1) a reference threshold (Cthreshold) to be used for error diffusion for a cyan (C) component is obtained on the basis of a density value M of a magenta (M) component. (2) A threshold modulation amount table is referred to by using a combination of a density value C of the C component and the density value M of the M component. (3) A correction threshold modulation amount Cthreshold′ is determined by adding the threshold modulation amount obtained in the second step to the reference threshold Cthreshold to be used for error diffusion for the C component. (4) A density Ct after error diffusion for the C component is compared with the correction threshold Cthreshold′. If the density Ct is higher, a quantization value binDataC of the target pixel is set to 255. If the density Ct is lower, the quantization value is set to 0. The same processing as described above is also performed for the cyan component.

According to this invention, a multi-function printer executes marginless copy in the following. Marginless copy and a printing paper size are instructed. The position and size of an original placed on the original table of the scanner are detected. A reading area on the original table is decided on the basis of the instruction, detection result, and a predefined extra-printing size. Control is done to execute image reading while limiting the operation range of the sensor of the scanner so that the image original is read from the decided reading area.

    摘要: In an image processing apparatus which performs an error diffusion process to multivalued image data consisting of plural density components and outputs a result of the error diffusion process, the process result from a first error diffusion unit performing the error diffusion process based on a density value of a first density component included in the plural density components or the process result from a second error diffusion unit performing the error diffusion process based on the density value of the first density component and a density value of at least one density component included in other density components is selected according to a predetermined condition. Thus, even in an image process is performed to a larger number of gradations, a high-speed process can be achieved with simple structure, and the error diffusion process can be effectively performed to a shift of dot apply positions.
