An image can be outputted with a high sharpness without deteriorating a resolution. In order to output an image of a high picture quality while suppressing the occurrence of a moire, an exposure amount is modulated in accordance with pixel density information of the image divided into pixels of a predetermined size by an exposure amount modulating unit in a light scanning unit, thereby expressing an image dark/light state. In this case, in a highlight density region in which a pixel density is equal to or less than ⅓ of the maximum image density, the density data of two adjoining pixels is modulated by one pixel and the other pixel is not recorded. In a density region in which the image density lies within a range from ⅓ to ½ of the maximum image density, a part of the density data of one of the two adjoining pixels is transposed to the other pixel. In a density region in which the image density is equal to or larger than ½ of the maximum density, the pixel transposition is not performed.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus forms an image on a medium by using an output device. A pattern signal for forming a predetermined pattern image on the medium is generated, and image forming parameters for the output device are determined on the basis of the density of the pattern image formed on the medium. The determined image forming parameters are transmitted via bidirectional communication to an external computer or other image forming apparatus.

An image processing apparatus for subjecting input image data to a density conversion includes three dot isolation circuits which subject the pixels on each of a plurality of lines adjoining in the sub-scan direction to a density conversion in accordance with a different predetermined conversion characteristic (LUT) for each line. Though each dot separation circuit deals with a different number of lines of image data to undergo a density conversion, the predetermined conversion characteristics can be set in advance in such a manner that the density values of a plurality of pixels on adjoining line will be preserved if an overall view of the reproduced image is taken.

It is an object of the invention to stabilize a picture quality by a calibration. In an image forming method using an image forming apparatus having reading means for reading an original and image forming means for forming an image on a medium, a first calibration is manually performed with respect to a system including both of the reading means and the image forming means, and a second calibration is automatically performed with respect to the image forming means solely.

An image processor in which information or a pattern is added to input image data, with the added information or pattern having a resolution or density which is different from that of the input image data.
摘要:
A color image forming method and apparatus in which toner patterns, formed by toners of different colors, on an image bearing member, can be detected by a single sensor. Near-infrared light is emitted from an LED at each formation of a single-colored pattern on the photosensitive drum and the amount of near-infrared light reflected from the drum is detected by the sensor, for the purpose of effecting gradation control.
