摘要:
An image process method comprises an input step of inputting color image data composed of a signal representing brightness and a signal representing tint, and a smoothing process step of performing a smoothing process to the signal representing tint, while holding the signal representing brightness. Thus, high-level color noise reduction can be performed without deteriorating apparent resolution of an output color image.

An image processing method, an image processing system and a recording medium capable of reproducing images in colors which are close to those memorized by man including a process to create a histogram of an original image, a process to adequately locate a highlight point on the histogram by comparing peaks of the histogram and setting image processing conditions dependently on a shape of a selected peak.

On the basis of a discrimination parameter for discriminating more detailed brightness in an image, the brightness of the image is discriminated, and the optimum degree of correction component is set for the image, thereby performing a more faithful reproduction of the image indicated by image data. Therefore, a highlight point being a brightness value associated with a cumulative frequency of reaching a predetermined value is calculated in a high-brightness area on the basis of a histogram obtained with respect to the number of pixels of a brightness value indicated by the image data, and the image is discriminated in its entire brightness on the basis of the highlight point. On the other hand, a ratio of the cumulative frequency in a predetermined low-brightness area to the number of all the pixels in the histogram is calculated. On the basis of the calculated ratio and the discriminated brightness, a gamma value indicating degree of correction the brightness value to a value of more light image is defined. Accordingly, a suitable correction corresponding to brightness of an image can be performed.

An image extracting method that can efficiently extract a predetermined number of images from a large amount of image data and improve user operability. Evaluations for a plurality of images are input. A predetermined number of images are extracted from the plurality of images based on the input evaluations. In a preferred form, the evaluations are sequentially input for respective ones of the plurality of images, preferably, in chronological order.

When printing image data obtained by an input device, the present invention is intended to effectively utilize the color reproduction area of the printer. An image data processing method of the present invention comprises the steps of scale-down shifting a first color space point outside a maximum color reproduction area of an output unit to a second color space point within the maximum color reproduction area of the output unit; computing an amount of shift by which the first color space point is shifted to the second color space point; converting the second color space point to a third color space point within a color reproduction area smaller than the maximum color reproduction area of the output unit; and outputting an image to the output unit using image data obtained by scale-up shifting the third color space point to a fourth color space point within the maximum color reproduction area of the output unit based on the computed shift amount.

In outputting of image data, the image data is converted into color space data suitable for outputting means, and thereby a color reproducing capability of the outputting means is utilized. Thus, the image data is read, the image data is converted into first color space data, the image data is converted into second color space data, the first color space data is outputted to first outputting means, and the second color space data is outputted to second outputting means.
