摘要:
An image reading apparatus includes: a light source that irradiates a document sheet with light; a light receiving unit that receives reflected light from the document sheet; and a color determination unit that performs color determination as to whether an image of the document sheet is any one of a monochrome image and a color image. The color determination unit performs the color determination as to whether the image of the document sheet is any one of a monochrome image and a color image by comparing chroma information of the image of the document sheet read by the light receiving unit with a threshold calculated from chroma information obtained by reading an image having a predetermined chroma.

Generation of basis functions for spectral reflectances of color samples is provided. Reflectance information of the color samples is input, the reflectance information is weighted with a weighting function based on a wavelength dependence of an optical sensor, and the weighted information is analyzed to obtain the basis functions. Basis functions for illuminants are generated by inputting reflectance and associated information of the color samples, inputting illuminant information, constructing a matrix of weighted tristimulus values, and analyzing the matrix to obtain the basis functions. A weighting function for an optical sensor is generated by inputting a first weighting function, based on transformation of a reflectance perturbation from a reflectance space into a color space of the sensor, calculating the first weighting function with predetermined stimuli to obtain a plurality of resulting functions, and averaging the resulting functions to obtain the weighting function for the sensor.

An iris color correction apparatus has a skin color identification section which identifies the skin color of a photographed person in an inputted image, a skin correction color calculation section which obtains a skin correction color that is an iris color of said person that should be shown in said image based on the skin color identified by said skin color identification section, a brightness estimation section which estimates a brightness before a color tone abnormality occurs in pixels of an iris portion of said photographed person from a value of said pixels, and a correction section which corrects the iris color of said photographed person based on said estimated brightness and a correction reference color based on said skin correction color.

An image processing apparatus is disclosed that includes a printing procedure request portion configured to request printing of color tone image data in a state where a patch row is arranged in a direction almost parallel with a main scanning direction; an image data obtaining portion configured to obtain scanned color tone data, showing scanned value of the patch row, from a scanning portion configured to optically scan the patch row; and a parameter generating portion configured to generate a color tone correction parameter for correcting color tone value of photoconductive image data by comparing the scanned color tone data and the color tone image data.

An in-camera two-stage compression implementation is described that reduces the latency between snapshots to a fraction of that otherwise required by other systems that either process complete compression following each snapshot or that incorporate heavy, bulky, and expensive RAM hardware capable of maintaining several raw luminosity records (unprocessed file containing a digital image). In the 1st stage compression the raw luminosity record is quickly, yet partially, compressed to available RAM buffer space to allow a user to expeditiously capture a succeeding image. When the higher-priority processes, the user shooting pictures, and stage one compression subside, a 2nd stage compression, which is slower but more effective, decompresses the earlier partially-compressed images, and re-compresses them for saving in flash memory until they are distributed to a remote platform to be finally converted to the JPEG2000 format.
摘要:
An image processing apparatus has an image input section, a color image processor, a monochrome image processor and an image synthesizer. The image input section inputs image data of an original image. The color image processor generates color image data by performing color image processing on the image data. The monochrome image processor generates monochrome image data by performing monochrome image processing on the image data. The image synthesizer generates synthesized image data by synthesizing the monochrome image data with the color image data. The apparatus also has a buffer that temporarily stores image data, a determination section that determines on the basis of the image data of the original image whether the original image is color or monochrome, and an output controller that controls an image output process. The output controller outputs output color or monochrome image data fetched from the buffer as determined to be appropriate.

A three-dimensional halftone screen is provided that is suited for multilevel printing. The three-dimensional halftone screen includes a plurality of planes each corresponding to one or more input intensity levels of an input RIPped pixel. Within the planes are screen dots, each associated with one or more output exposure intensity values representing an intensity of an exposure dot corresponding to the input RIPped pixel.

A method, apparatus, and system that use a white balance operation. A selecting process is applied to each pixel selected and considered for automatic white balance statistics to determine the distance from the selected pixel to a white curve defined in a white area corresponding to an image sensor.
摘要:
A printing method for printing an image based on image data, the printing method includes: loading the image data from a storage medium in which the image data is stored; printing an order sheet, wherein the order sheet includes an index image representing the loaded image data to receive from a user entry of information for printing the image; recognizing the information entered in the order sheet via scanning of the printed order sheet; and printing a corrected image made by executing image correction to the image based on the recognized entered information.

Systems and methods of producing image products using printing are provided. The printed image products can include stereoscopic and/or color shifting images. These images can be formed by a sequential application of a base image, a clear toner layer and a barrier image layer in a single pass through a printer. The barrier image layer can include opaque barriers (for stereoscopic or color shifting images) or can include translucent or transparent barriers (for color shifting images).
