Abstract:
An image processing apparatus for generating dot data to form an image by forming dots on a recording medium includes a receiving unit, a first, second, and third generating unit, and a correcting unit. The receiving unit receives first and second image data included in image data. The first generating unit generates, per the first image data, first ink color data representing a multi-valued signal value corresponding to an ink color. The second generating unit generates, per the second image data, second ink color data representing a multi-valued signal value corresponding to an ink color. The correcting unit corrects the signal value represented by the generated first and second ink color data. The third generating unit generates, per the first and second ink color data of which the signal values have been corrected, the dot data representing existence of formation of dots to form an image.

Abstract:
An image processing apparatus obtains a visible light image and an infrared light image, and generates a color component of a composite image using a color component of the visible light image, and generates a luminance component of the composite image using luminance components of the infrared light image and the visible light image. The image processing apparatus corrects the color component or the luminance component of the composite image, using a correction coefficient determined based on the color component of the visible light image.

Abstract:
Region information indicating at least one of a first region applying a first input/output characteristic and a second region applying a second input/output characteristic of a captured image is acquired so that the first region and the second region can be displayed in a distinguishable manner and a correction intended by a user can thus be performed for higher color reproducibility.

Abstract:
As viewed for each processing unit in head shading (HS) processing, a processing unit width is more than one pixel, so that a threshold arrangement corresponding to a target quality of an image intended by a dither matrix is kept while a possibility of avoiding zero dots from being generated can be enhanced. Moreover, the threshold arrangement is kept while a possibility of generating the same number of dots in processing units can be enhanced. Consequently, the threshold arrangement corresponding to a predetermined target quality of an image intended by a dither matrix is kept while it is possible to reduce occurrence of uneven density caused by the HS processing. Thus, it is possible to prevent the threshold arrangement from being limited by the HS processing according to the degree of the reduction.
Abstract:
When an input image is shifted by 640 pixels from a test pattern with reference to the position of a nozzle, the remainder is obtained by dividing 640 pixels by pixels of the dither matrix in an x direction. For example, when the size of the dither matrix in the x direction is 256 pixels, the dither matrix is shifted by 128 pixels in a direction reverse to the x direction. In this manner, the phase of the dither matrix at the time of the quantization during test pattern printing matches the phase of the dither matrix at the time of the quantization during input image printing. Consequently, unevenness of the dither matrix at a position N becomes the same in both of the test pattern and the input image. The HS correction to density unevenness caused by the unevenness of the dither matrix becomes suitable for the input image.
