Abstract:
This invention provides an image processing apparatus comprising a color distribution analyzing portion for analyzing color distribution of an inputted color image, an image content judgment portion for judging the content of a color image based on the analyzed color distribution, a color conversion parameter determining portion for determining a color conversion parameter based on the judged image content, and a color conversion portion which executes color conversion upon a color image based on this color conversion parameter.
Abstract:
There is disclosed an image processing apparatus of the present invention in which a color region of a range including a color range that can be outputted by an image output device is mapped based on a predetermined mapping function defined between the color region and a color conversion table address space by an address map producing section, so that waste in a color conversion table is inhibited, the number of valid lattice points in the color conversion table increases, and therefore color conversion accuracy is improved.
Abstract:
An image processing apparatus including an input section configured to receive color image signals, a printing color designation section configured to designate printing colors of two colors, a conversion section configured to convert the color image signals which are received from the input section to be converted to two-state signals in a dimension-dropped fashion, and a color allocation section configured to allocate the printing colors of two colors which are designated by the printing color designation section to the converted two-state signals.
Abstract:
R, G and B signals read by a 4-line color CCD sensor are converted into C, M and Y color signals. A black-and-white signal is generated from a luminance signal read by the 4-line color CCD sensor. Densities of the C, M and Y color signals are converted on the basis of the black-and-white signal.
Abstract:
An image processing apparatus which processes a plurality of supplied color image signals and outputs the processed signals to an image forming apparatus. The image processing apparatus comprises a conversion section which converts the supplied color image signals to a plurality of color signals, a discrimination section which discriminates attributes of the supplied color image signals, a determination section which determines, based on the color signals converted by the conversion section, a plurality of color signals outside a color gamut capable of image formation in the image forming apparatus, a processing section which changes the color signals outside the color gamut determined by the determination section to a plurality of color signals in the color gamut of the image forming apparatus in accordance with a discrimination result of the discrimination section, and an output section which matches the color signals from the conversion section and the color signals from the processing section and delivers the matched result to the image forming apparatus.
Abstract:
There is disclosed an image processing apparatus for generating an address based on a difference (MAXnullMIN) between a maximum value MAX and a minimum value MIN among signals CMY indicating three primary colors of a color image for each pixel, and generating a black ink signal based on data read from a lookup table in which the data is read from the generated address, so that a black ink strength is independently set with respect to density and chroma of the image. Moreover, the lookup table with the black ink signal and an undercolor signal stored therein has a storage capacity of a number obtained by totaling a number at which the difference (MAXnullMIN) between the maximum value MAX and the minimum value MIN is an integral multiple of a predetermined value and a number at which the difference is other than the integral multiple and the maximum value MAX is equal to a maximum value of a defined region. Thereby, all combinations of the maximum value MAX and minimum value MIN are linearly interpolated without disposing any storage region.
