摘要： An inspection apparatus includes an imaging device and an image processing device. The imaging device photographs a specimen and outputs a color image of the specimen to the image processing device. The image processing device subjects the color image of the specimen to negative-positive reversal. After detecting a mode value of the hue the color image having been subjected to negative-positive reversal, the image processing device changes the hue of the color image in accordance with a difference between a boundary value of two predefined hues and the detected mode value. In accordance with the change of the hue, a plurality of target pixels different in the saturation is extracted and the saturation and the intensity of each pixel are changed, or the gradation of each pixel is converted so that the plurality of target pixels becomes most distant from one another in a color space.

摘要： A method of migrating data from an old storage subsystem to a new storage subsystem in a data processing system which comprises host computers and storage subsystems. There is provided a route-changing phase before the data is migrated from the old storage subsystem to the new storage subsystem. In the route-changing phase, each host computer can access both the old and new storage subsystems and the new storage subsystem writes data into the old storage subsystem in response to a write request from the host computer and reads data from the old storage subsystem and sends the data to the host computer in response to a read request from the host computer.
