    摘要: An image processing device includes circuitry to: acquire an image matrix including a target pixel from first image data having a first resolution; determine whether one or more detection patterns match the image matrix; and perform edge enhancement on the target pixel and convert the first resolution into a second resolution to convert the target pixel into second image data, if the image matrix matches any of the one or more detection patterns. The first image data includes a plurality of pixels each including first and second pixel values respectively indicating image information and whether each of the plurality of pixels is an area where a specific object is drawn. The one or more detection patterns, each including a plurality of pixels each including the first and second pixel values, are patterns to detect a pixel forming an edge portion where the first and second pixel values vary between pixels.

    摘要: An image forming apparatus includes: a pseudo-halftone processing unit that processes input image data to output image data of first resolution; a resolution converting unit that converts the image data of the first resolution into image data of second resolution that is higher than the first resolution; a modulation-signal generating unit that generates a modulation signal obtained by modulating the image data of the second resolution according to a clock signal; and a light-source driving unit that drives a light source according to the modulation signal. The pseudo-halftone processing unit converts a region of pixels having the same pixel value into a parallel line pattern that is formed with a plurality of parallel lines oblique relative to a direction of arrangement of pixels. The resolution converting unit generates the image data o in which each edge of the lines forming the parallel line pattern is smoothed.
