Image features of a plurality of RGB images arranged for layout are extracted, and the RGB images are classified into image categories determined by the commonality of the image features. Recipe information previously set in accordance with the image features is added to layout data while being associated with RGB images for each image category. This enables an output device to perform an optimization process by reference to the added recipe information, thereby outputting good-quality printed matter excellent in color reproduction and the like if information for the process of optimizing RGB image data is not previously provided during the generation of the layout data.

An additional storage processing part additionally stores, in a test information table, data relating to a test to be performed, each time any one of a plurality of tests is performed. An updating part updates the corresponding record in a skill level table each time the test is performed, and then an additional storage by the additional storage processing part is executed. A man-hour computing part executes the process of estimating a test man-hour relating to an evaluator and a test designated in accordance with the contents of a display in a display part. Thus, a test man-hour estimating apparatus can accurately estimate the man-hour of the test the evaluator performs repeatedly, based to the data stored in the test information table and the skill level table.

A prepress system comprises a raster image processor for developing first print image data to display resolution to create first raster image data, and for developing second print image data to the display resolution to create second raster image data. A plate image inspection processor executes a plate image inspection process by comparing the first and second raster image data, and displays on a display device the result of the plate image inspection process.

A printing machine provided allows even unskilled operators to perform ink and water supply control according to the contents of an image. While a reference image to be printed is segmented into a plurality of regions similar in contents, image data is obtained from printed matter and a color difference between the reference image and a print image is calculated. Ink and water (I/W) supplies are determined based on regional color difference data obtained by summing the color differences for each region. At this time, by adding correction of the regional color difference data based on the characteristics of each region and the contents of the image, and correction of the I/W supplies based on external factors and variables, even unskilled operators can perform rapid I/W supply control based on the contents of the image.

An image reader utilizing a CCD line sensor (8) which involves no possibility of any stripe pattern (output irregularity) being produced with respect to dots output from the CCD line sensor (8) even if there is any characteristic error between outputs of odd n-th and even n-th elements of the CCD line sensor (8). Data of the odd n-th elements and data of the even n-th elements are supplied to an averaging circuit (52). Where the absolute value of the difference in data between odd n-th and even n-th elements is greater than a predetermined threshold value, a decision circuit outputs a select signal of H level. Where the absolute value of the difference is smaller than the threshold value, the decision circuit (56) outputs a select signal of L level. A selector (58) selects the output of each odd n-th element or even n-th element as a read output in case that the select signal is of H level. If the select signal is of L level, a mean value of the outputs of the two elements is selected as a read output. Thus, it is possible to prevent any stripe pattern occurrence due to output irregularity without detriment to the sharpness of original reading.

Input CAD data and run-length data obtained by performing a RIP process on the input CAD data are acquired. A predetermined conversion process is performed on at least one of the input CAD data and the run-length data to make the data formats of both data comparable and then both data are compared with each other to detect an area having a difference as a defect area in the run-length data. This provides a technique to detect a defect in the run-length data to be used for drawing of a figure before the execution of drawing with a simple structure.

A sharpness conversion part is provided in a print inspection apparatus and performs an average-masking operation to weaken a sharpness of object image data to be inspected and that of reference image data. After that, a differential value between these data is acquired. With this operation, an inspection for printing is performed by using image data of which the difference is distinguishable by human's visual property, not considering an invisible differential value which is caused by pixel displacement in subpixel order, and it is therefore possible to efficiently obtain a print inspection result with an accuracy almost as high as that by visual inspection. Thus, a print inspection apparatus can be provided, which is capable of correctly extracting difference to be detected by visual check.

A technique of inspecting an input print data file to determine whether or not a printed image has good reproducibility is provided. A content type identification module 321 identifies a content type of each object contained in the input print data file PD0. A characteristic value calculator 322 calculates a characteristic value relating to reproducibility of each object which is pre-selected according to the content type of the object. A characteristic value judgment module 323 determines based on the calculated characteristic value whether or not each object meets a judging condition relating to reproducibility of image portion represented by the object.

摘要:
A plurality of closed regions constituting a line drawing image are extracted and displayed on a display means. A desired closed region included among the plurality of displayed closed regions is extracted as an image layer by specifying the desired closed region by means of a manipulation means. At this time, a closed region display screen for displaying the extracted closed regions thereon and an image layer display screen for displaying the extracted image layer thereon are displayed in side by side relation on the display means. Thus, whether an appropriate closed region is converted to the image layer or not is easily determined. Also, when a plurality of closed regions are specified, the plurality of specified closed regions are extracted as an image layer. Thus, the plurality of closed regions are treated together as the single image layer. This achieves such functions and effects that both the improvement in the efficiency of the color application to the line drawing resulting from the image layer process and the improvement in the efficiency of the color application to the line drawing resulting from the closed region extraction are accomplished.
