摘要:
An image processing apparatus extracts an area for each color from an illustration area, specifies an area that is in contact with the boundary of the illustration area, extracts a color around the illustration area, determines whether or not the extracted color around the illustration area is the same as the color of the specified area, and processes vector data that represents an area that has been determined as having the same color.

To obtain a conversion condition which enables color reproduction with high precision based on a nonlinear output characteristic of an output device. In order to generate a conversion condition for converting data in a color space independent of a device into data in a color space dependent on a device, a condition for restricting the amount of recording material is set, an output value of a solid on which a color reproducible by an output device in a three-dimensional color space is defined is computed based on the set condition, and the conversion condition is generated based on the colorimetry value of the color reproduced by the output device corresponding to the computed output value.

To approximate with precision the nonlinear output characteristic of an output device and enable high-precise color reproduction, a method is provided to convert a device-independent color space into an output device-dependent color space. A colorimetry value of a color patch output by the output device and represented in the device-independent color space is input, and a colorimetry value close to a conversion target value represented in the device-independent color space is extracted from the input colorimetry value. According to a distance between the input and extracted colorimetry values in the device-independent color space, there is performed a weighting process for a color value corresponding to the extracted colorimetry value and represented in the output device-dependent color space, to obtain a color value corresponding to the input colorimetry value and represented in the output device-dependent color space.

When the distributed load system of grid computing is applied to printers, multi-functional peripheral equipments, and the like connected to a computer network, if a device which inputs a job received from the client is executing processing, the distributed processing requires much time, and the user of the client cannot obtain the print result soon. Hence, when a print job is input, the processing time upon executing distributed processing of data processes in the print job by computer devices connected to the computer network is estimated. Based on the estimation result, the print job or jobs divided from the print job are transmitted to the computer devices connected to the computer network.

When a target device of distributed processing has shifted to a power save mode, if the target device is resumed to the normal operation to attain the distributed processing, resources of the target device which are not required for the distributed processing waste electric power. Therefore, when a print job to be processed by grid processing is received, resources required for the grid processing from resources in a waiting state, and the grid processing is executed to process the received print job.

During an electronic conference, an operator is able to have an independent meeting with a number of the participants of the electronic conference. A conference layer and a side conversation layer are provided. When side conversation is to be started, a member to participate in side conversation is selected from members participating in the conference in the conference layer, and the selected member is moved to a member panel. Upon pressing a start button, a side conversation layer is generated and displayed. Side conversation enables selected members to share information independent of the main conference. A layer select button enables to select either of the conference layer or side conversation layer. A layer copy button enables the copying of an image from the conference layer to the side conversation layer.

There are cases in which an effective search index cannot be provided to an image data only by extracting character codes from a character object in PDL data. An image processing apparatus of the present invention obtains image data by rendering PDL data, and extracts a character object from the image data. The image processing apparatus performs character recognition processing on the extracted character object to obtain character code information, and provides metadata including the character code information to the image data.

In a system that performs object division of a manuscript and adds metadata, a method is provided which can edit the metadata by an intuitive operation when no appropriate metadata is added or when it is desired that the metadata be increased by adding. An image processing device, which divides an manuscript acquired through an input component into a plurality of objects and adds the metadata, has a user interface for editing the metadata of the objects, and switches, after selecting first and second objects, a retouching method of the metadata in accordance with the contents of the respective metadata of the first object and second object.
摘要:
Even when a CPU gains higher performance and a distributed computing environment is being put in place, it is not easy to follow the speed of hardware image processing implemented by dedicated hardware. Hence, jobs of filter processing having a heavy operation load and low distributability are selectively and intensively input to a small number of resources having performance as high as possible. On the other hand, since the color conversion processing and gamma processing have high distributability, even when jobs are input to many resources having low performance, an improvement of the processing speed can be expected. Therefor, color conversion processing and gamma processing distribute jobs to many resources.
