摘要： An image processing apparatus includes an edge-portion detector, an edge-width detector, and a tone correction unit. The edge-portion detector detects a pixel of an edge portion by determining whether or not each of pixels constituting image data which has been input is a pixel which is included in the edge portion. The edge-width detector detects, for the pixel of the edge portion detected by the edge-portion detector, an edge width which is a width of the edge portion. When the edge width detected by the edge-width detector is smaller than a value which is set in advance, the tone correction unit performs tone correction differently in accordance with the detected edge width.

摘要： An image processing apparatus includes a receiving section, an edge detection section and a screen processing section. The receiving section receives image information. The edge detection section detects an edge area from the image information received by the receiving section. The screen processing section performs a screen process, which is based on area coverage modulation, for the image information on a basis of the detection result by the edge detection section. The screen processing section performs a screen process for the edge area detected by the edge detection section with (i) a screen angle, which is equal to that of a screen process performed for a non-edge area other than the edge area, and (ii) a number of lines per inch, which is an integer multiple of that of the screen process performed for the non-edge area.

摘要： An image processing apparatus includes an edge-portion detector, an edge-width detector, and a tone correction unit. The edge-portion detector detects a pixel of an edge portion by determining whether or not each of pixels constituting image data which has been input is a pixel which is included in the edge portion. The edge-width detector detects, for the pixel of the edge portion detected by the edge-portion detector, an edge width which is a width of the edge portion. When the edge width detected by the edge-width detector is smaller than a value which is set in advance, the tone correction unit performs tone correction differently in accordance with the detected edge width.
