    摘要: The technique of the present disclosure can achieve processing efficiency and prevention of improper drawing in printing a monochrome representation of color data. In performing discriminability reproducing color conversion processing, a PDL analysis unit determines whether processing involving color change that changes the original color is specified in operator information on a target object for the discriminability reproducing color conversion processing. In a case where processing that changes the original color, such as ROP or α-blending, is specified for the target object, the discriminability reproducing color conversion processing for the page is canceled and switched to all-color uniform color conversion processing. This enables both of efficient discriminability reproducing color conversion and prevention of improper drawing.

    摘要: A data segmenter is configured to determine indices using numbers of most significant bits (MSBs) of fractional values of floating-point representations of component values of an input color that are selected based on exponent values of the floating-point representations. The component values are defined according to a source gamut. The data segmenter is also configured to determine offsets associated with the indices using subsets of the fractional values. An interpolator configured to map the input color to an output color defined according to a destination gamut based on a location in a three-dimensional (3-D) look up table (LUT) indicated by the indices and offsets.

    摘要: An image processing apparatus according an aspect of the present disclosure converts image signals indicating an image to output signals including signals corresponding to individual color components that an output device deals with by interpolation processing using a look-up table. The apparatus includes a first conversion unit and at least one second conversion unit. The first conversion unit converts the image signals to image signals corresponding to linearity of the signals corresponding to the individual color components. The at least one second conversion unit converts the image signals converted by the first conversion unit to the output signals by the interpolation processing.

    摘要: To make it possible for image processing to control the thickness of a character or a line to be applied similarly as long as input image data is the same even in the case where the setting of color conversion processing or density correction processing is changed. An apparatus that forms an image on a printing medium by using a color material, the apparatus including: a first image processing unit configured to perform first image processing to change a density of the color material for an input image; a second image processing unit configured to perform second image processing to control a thickness of a text object or a line object included in the input image; and a setting unit configured to acquire a setting of information representing characteristics of the first image processing and to set a parameter in the second image processing in accordance with the acquired setting, and the second image processing unit controls the thickness of the text object or the line object in accordance with the set parameter.
