Abstract:
An image processing apparatus includes an acquiring unit which acquires first image data indicating a first gray-scale value of an image having a first attribute and a second image data indicating a second gray-scale value of an image having a second attribute that is different from the first attribute, a correcting unit which corrects the first gray-scale value and the second gray-scale value acquired by the acquiring unit on basis of information on an ejection characteristic of a discharge head to different extents, the discharge head ejecting liquid to be used for forming the first image and the second image on a recording medium with dots.
Abstract:
This invention provides a sample print which allows the user to easily set color adjustment parameters. To this end, upon outputting images which undergo color processing using a plurality of different parameter sets, a sample print mode of parallelly outputting a reference image and images which have different parameter sets of the image processing from the reference image, and are arranged around the reference image, and a sample print mode of parallelly outputting the reference image which is arranged at a corner of an image group including images in a specific hue direction, and images which have different parameter sets of the color processing from the reference image and are arranged between the corner and other corners, are prepared.
Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to implement a bit pattern capable of specifying a plurality of colors while storing information on a shape. The present invention is an image processing apparatus that converts image data in a bitmap format into data including a bit pattern, the apparatus including: a creation unit configured to create, based on pixel values of pixels within an image area of a predetermined size within the image data, the bit pattern storing shape information on the image area, which specifies to which of a plurality of kinds of pixel each pixel within the image area corresponds, and color information on the image area, which specifies a number of colors in accordance with a kind of pixel specified by the shape information, and the number in accordance with a kind of pixel specified by the shape information is smaller than a total number of pixels within the image area.
Abstract:
At least one apparatus recognizes a first object and a second object associated with the first object in a plurality of images, calculates a score for each of the plurality of images based on a result of the recognition of the first object and the second object, and selects an image concerning the first object from the plurality of images based on the score for each of the plurality of images.
Abstract:
An image processing apparatus comprises: an obtaining unit configured to obtain a plurality of images; a setting unit configured to set a first priority mode for a first page and set a second priority mode for a second page; and a selection unit configured to select an image including an object corresponding to the first priority mode for the first page from the plurality of images and select an image including an object corresponding to the second priority mode for the second page from the plurality of images, in accordance with a priority mode set by the setting unit.
Abstract:
At least one apparatus recognizes a first object and a second object associated with the first object in a plurality of images, calculates a score for each of the plurality of images based on a result of the recognition of the first object and the second object, and selects an image concerning the first object from the plurality of images based on the score for each of the plurality of images.
Abstract:
An image processing apparatus obtains information of a digital watermark based on an image obtained by causing an image capturing device to capture a print product in which the digital watermark is embedded. An image capturing unit is configured to cause the image capturing device to capture a plurality of areas on the print product by repeating continuous shooting a plurality of times under a plurality of image capturing conditions. A selection unit is configured to select, from a plurality of images obtained by the plurality of times of the continuous shooting by the image capturing unit, an image from which the information of the digital watermark is to be obtained. An obtaining unit is configured to obtain the information of the digital watermark based on the image selected by the selection unit from the plurality of images obtained by the respective times of the continuous shooting by the image capturing unit.
Abstract:
An amount of color correction of a facial region is modified based on changes caused in face average values by white balance correction. Also, the amount of color correction of the facial region is modified according to luminance of pixels of interest to perform optimum color correction on the facial region and a highlight region.
Abstract:
Upon capturing a digital watermark-embedded print product by an image capturing device held by the hand of a user and extracting embedded information, the relative speed between the hand-held image capturing device and the print product changes, failing in extracting the embedded additional information. In an embodiment, the image capturing device performs continuous shooting for every small area to read the print product. A shoot image is analyzed to calculate the feature amount of the image. Information about an image capturing quality characteristic generated at the time of capturing the print product is estimated, and a change of the feature amount accompanying the image capturing quality characteristic is predicted based on the estimation result. A code indicated by the watermark is determined based on the calculation result and the prediction result.
Abstract:
A plurality of images obtained by capturing, dividing over a plurality of times, a printed material in which additional information is embedded are input. Feature information concerning each of the inputted plurality of images is extracted. A poor quality area in the images is evaluated. An overlapping area of the plurality of images is specified based on the feature information. Additional information embedded in the printed material is extracted based on a result of the evaluating and a result of the specifying.
