With a photocopier which stores original images read with a scanner in page memory, and prints later, in the event that judgment is made by a specified original judging unit that a specified original image is contained in an original document scanned for printing, the image signals stored in the memory are substituted with substitution image signals stored beforehand, and then output to a printer unit.

In order to produce a high-quality output of an image which is a mixture of images having different characteristics, there is provided an image processing apparatus having an image memory storing an entered color image and a feature detector, arranged for detecting a feature signal from the entered color image and storing the feature signal in the image memory. The feature signal represents a feature of the entered color image. An outputter is arranged for reading an image signal of the entered color image and the feature signal thereof out of the image memory, and outputting the image and feature signals as a recording signal. Processors are arranged for respectively processing one of a number of color components, which represent color image information, in accordance with the recording signal. The detection and storage in the image memory of feature signals and the readout of the image signal and associated feature signal from the image memory are performed in parallel.

An image to be output as a solidly filled image can be reproduced satisfactorily. An image processing method includes the steps of inputting data obtained by reading a patch pattern formed by an image forming apparatus; and creating correction conditions for the image forming apparatus on the basis of the data, wherein the correction conditions are created based on the data so that output image data with respect to a specific gradation level of multi-level gradation input image data satisfy preset conditions.

An image conversion apparatus for image-converting input color image signals, and outputting the converted signals to an output apparatus, allows execution of a plurality of different color processing operations, checks if an input color image falls within a color reproduction region of the output apparatus, and changes the color conversion processing result to be output depending on whether or not the input color image falls within the color reproduction region of the output apparatus. For example, when the input color image falls within the color reproduction region of the output apparatus, color reproduction color-matched with input color image signals is performed. When the input color image falls outside the reproduction region, color reproduction is performed by color conversion processing assuring highest color reproducibility.

摘要:
An image processing apparatus is provided with an input of multivalued image data, converts the inputted multivalued image data into binary image data, generates color data based upon the binary image data resulting from the conversion, judges identity between the generated color data and color data of a plurality of different specific images, and outputs the binary image data resulting from the conversion if non-identity is judged. If identity is judged to exist, however, output of the binary image data resulting from the conversion is halted.

摘要:
A color image processing apparatus converts a first color signal (RGB signal) stored in a frame memory for displaying on, e.g., a CRT color monitor into a third color signal (R′G′B′ signal) whose color image information is used for permanent visible representation by a printer, and outputs the third signal in order to effectively adjust differences between color gamuts of different devices. In the conversion processing, a conversion function for directly converting the first color signal into the third color signal is obtained by synthesizing three functions, namely, a first conversion function for converting the first color signal into a standard color space signal, a second conversion function for converting the standard color space signal into the third color signal, and a third conversion signal for converting the standard color space signal into another standard color signal suitable for a color gamut of the printer. The first color signal is converted into the third color signal in accordance with the new synthesized conversion function.
摘要:
A PDL interpreter rasterizes image data, which are described in page description language, entered from a host computer, and stores the rasterized image data in an image memory. A CPU discriminates the type of image, pixel by pixel, by referring to the image data stored in the image memory, and stores a discrimination code, which indicates the result of discrimination, in a code memory. The CPU reads out image data that have been stored in the image memory and reads the discrimination code corresponding to these image data out of the code memory. The image data read out of the image memory are subjected to different binarizing processing by two binarizing circuits. Depending upon the discrimination code read out of the code memory, a selector selects the output of one of the two binarizing circuits and sends the selected image data to a printer. Accordingly, it is possible to obtain a high-quality image which is a mixture of images having different characteristics, such as an image containing character or line drawings, continuous grayscale images, etc.
