Abstract: In an apparatus, it is determined whether a covariance matrix calculated based on a plurality of patches is abnormal. In a case where it is determined that the covariance matrix is not abnormal, the covariance matrix is used to perform first correction on pixels included in the plurality of patches. In a case where it is determined that the covariance matrix is abnormal, second correction, which is different from the first correction, is performed on the pixels included in the plurality of patches.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a reading unit for sequentially reading, from image data, pieces of pixel data of target pixels along a predetermined direction, a cumulative sum calculation unit for calculating a cumulative sum of gradation values represented by pieces of pixel data of target pixels in a significant image portion read by the reading unit, a determination unit for determining whether the target pixel read by the reading unit is located at a boundary between the significant image portion and a background portion that is a non-significant image portion, and a correction unit for correcting, if the determination unit determines that the target pixel is located at the boundary, a gradation value represented by pixel data of the target pixel by adding a correction amount based on the cumulative sum up to the target pixel calculated by the cumulative sum calculation unit to the gradation value.

Abstract: Banding can be prevented and image-quality degradation can be reduced. An image processing apparatus includes first creation means configured to distribute density of image data to a pixel on another scanning line on the basis of a difference between an actual print position of the image data and a reference position and to create position-corrected image data, second creation means configured to correct the image data using a correction value corresponding to a position of the image data and to create density-corrected image data, and generation means configured to generate output image data using the position-corrected image data created by the first creation means and the density-corrected image data created by the second creation means.

Abstract: An incidence angle of laser light with respect to a photosensitive member in a main-scanning direction is different depending on an exposure position. Hence, the spot shape of the laser light on the photosensitive member is different in the main-scanning direction. A filter coefficient is changed in the main-scanning direction, and image data is corrected with the filter coefficient.
