    摘要: A color image forming apparatus includes coordinate conversion means which converts a ordinate value, for executing a misregistration correction in the unit of a pixel; gradation conversion means which converts a gradation level, for executing a misregistration correction in a unit less than a pixel; and judgment means which detects a feature of the image and judges whether or not to execute the misregistration correction in a unit less than a pixel by the gradation conversion means, wherein the judgment means compares the gradation level in an object pixel and a pixel adjacent in a sub scanning direction, thereby judging whether or not to execute the misregistration correction in a unit less than a pixel. Thus the invention enables to distinguish an image to be subjected to the registration correction less than a pixel and an image not to be subjected to such correction in a simple manner and also in consideration of the image color.

    摘要: A color image forming apparatus includes a coordinate conversion part, which converts a ordinate value, for executing a misregistration correction in the unit of a pixel; a gradation conversion part, which converts a gradation level, for executing a misregistration correction in a unit less than a pixel; and a judgment part, which detects a feature of the image and judges whether or not to execute the misregistration correction in a unit less than a pixel by the gradation conversion part. The judgment part compares the gradation level in an object pixel and a pixel adjacent in a sub-scanning direction, thereby judging whether or not to execute the misregistration correction in a unit less than a pixel. Thus, the invention enables to distinguish an image to be subjected to the registration correction in a unit less than a pixel and an image not to be subjected to such correction in a simple manner and also in consideration of the image color.

    摘要: With this invention, color shifting correction is performed first based on shifting amount information indicating a shifting amount with respect to the scanning direction on an image carrier of each image forming unit, and halftone processing is then performed, thus suppressing generation of moiré due to the color shifting correction, and forming a high-quality image. To this end, an image forming engine has color shifting amount storage units C, M, Y, and K (black) which store actual shifting amounts with respect to ideal scan directions on image carriers C, M, Y, and K in image forming units C, M, Y, and K. Color shifting correction amount arithmetic units C, M, Y, and K calculate color shifting correction amounts for respective color components on the basis of the stored color shifting amounts. Color shifting correction units C, M, Y, and K perform color shifting correction by converting coordinates upon reading out image data from bitmap memories C, M, Y, and K on the basis of the calculated color shifting correction amounts, and then perform tone correction. Data after tone correction undergo halftone processing by halftone processors C, M, Y, and K. PWM processors C, M, Y, and K generate PWM signals for scanning, and output them to exposure units C, M, Y, and K of the respective image forming units.

    摘要: A color image forming apparatus of a so-called tandem type which has image forming units in correspondence with colors is provided. In the color image forming apparatus, a color discrepancy amount storage unit stores information of a color discrepancy amount of each of the image forming units, which is measured in advance. A first color discrepancy correcting unit performs color discrepancy correction in a pixel unit by performing coordinate conversion of bitmap data to be printed based on the information of the color discrepancy amount stored in the color discrepancy amount storage unit. A second color discrepancy correcting unit performs color discrepancy correction in less than a pixel unit by performing tone correction of the bitmap data corrected by the first color discrepancy correcting unit based on the information of the color discrepancy amount stored in the color discrepancy amount storage unit.
