摘要： First integrated data is generated using tone value data. The tone value data represents respective tone values of pixels of an image. The first integrated data represents respective first pixel values of the pixels. The first pixel value is associated with sum of tone values of pixels within a rectangle in the image. The rectangle has two opposing corners represented by a pixel corresponding to the first pixel value and a reference pixel respectively. The reference pixel is a pixel at a predetermined corner of the image. A calculation process is executed. The calculation process includes calculation of a first calculation value of a target rectangle area using the first integrated data. The first calculation value is correlated to sum of tone values within the target rectangle area. The target rectangle area is enclosed by a rectangle defined by pixel boundary lines. The pixel boundary lines represent boundary lines between neighboring pixels in the image. Image processing in relation to the target rectangle area is executed in accordance with the result of the calculation process. In the calculation of the first calculation value, the first calculation value is calculated using respective first pixel values of four calculation pixels. The four calculation pixels are respectively adjacent to four vertexes of the target rectangle area in the direction of the reference pixel. The four vertexes are on the pixel boundary lines.

摘要： A method is provided for extracting a candidate human image region from within a picture image. The top-bottom direction of a picture image containing a human image is discerned. Based on the result of the discernment, the human image is modified to the actual top-bottom direction. Then, the variance values of image features are found about vertical and horizontal lines comprising vertical and horizontal rows of pixels constituting the picture image. Regions having variance values of image features in excess of their threshold values are selected about the vertical and horizontal line directions. An area within the picture image in which the selected regions in the line directions overlap with each other is extracted. Thus, an area within the picture image in which the human image exists can be robustly and quickly extracted.

摘要： A printing system that transfers an image composed of pixels of a first resolution, includes a client and a printing apparatus. The client includes a determining unit that, for a pixel block that is of a size of a pixel of a second resolution that is lower than the first resolution, determines whether or not the pixel block is homogenous on the basis of a difference in color information for a target pixel of the first resolution included in the pixel block; an image-data-for-transfer creating unit that creates image data for transfer by changing pixels of the first resolution included in a pixel block that has been determined to be homogenous from the first resolution to the second resolution; and a transmitting unit that transmits the image data for transfer. The printing apparatus includes a receiving unit that receives the image data for transfer and a high-resolution-image-data creating unit that creates image data representing an image composed of pixels of the first resolution by changing pixels of the second resolution in the image data for transfer from the second resolution to the first resolution.

摘要： The printer of the invention performs an area classification process to classify each pixel included in an input image read by a scanner as a pixel in an edge component area or a pixel in a halftone dot area, and performs a correction process with a spatial filter suitable for each area. The area classification process calculates a difference value between luminance values of two arbitrary pixels selected among peripheral pixels in a specific pixel range around each target pixel according to each of multiple differential patterns t, compares the calculated difference value with threshold values provided for each differential pattern t to compute multiple difference detection values ht(x) corresponding to the multiple differential patterns t, and gives weights to the computed difference detection values ht(x) to compute a comprehensive difference detection value H(x). The area classification process identifies whether the target pixel is a pixel in the edge component area or a pixel in the halftone dot area, based on the computed comprehensive difference detection value H(x). This arrangement enables high-speed identification of the attribute of each pixel included in an image by such simple operation, while enabling identification of pixel attribute with high accuracy.
