    摘要: Pixel data comprising density data of R, G, and B obtained by reading an original with a CCD image sensor are subjected to shading correction by a shading correction unit, and then converted into color region signals H*, V, and C* in the Munsell color space by a first converter. According to the variations of V, a region discriminator determines whether each pixel data belongs to an edge portion of the original image or whether it belongs to a uniform density region of the original image. A noise removing unit performs noise removal by performing smoothing on color region signals H*, V, and C* of the pixel data which have been determined to belong to uniform density regions. A second converter converts the noise-removed color region signals into pixel data of R, G, and B.

    摘要: The individual pattern of each color of the standard pattern is printed on a copy being made, and when the copy is read by a scanner, the image data of the standard pattern are converted into color region signals in a uniform color space by an HVC converter and a C.multidot.H operation unit. In the case where the saturation of the image data has become lower than the standard saturation of the color region, saturation corrective coefficients are determined by a saturation corrective coefficient calculation unit. After the saturation coefficients have been determined for each color of the standard pattern, the image data of the original are read out, and the saturation corrective coefficients for the color region of the image data are used for saturation correction by a saturation correction processing unit. The image data which have been subjected to the saturation correction are reversely converted into the image data of each color by a reverse HVC converter. According to the reversely converted image data, an image is formed on a copying paper.

    摘要: In a digital image forming apparatus, when a latent image is formed on a photoconductor, a light from a light source is emitted in a period of a duty ratio while modulated according to image data, and the latent image is developed and transferred onto a sheet of paper. The duty ratio, defined as a ratio of a light-emitting time of a light exposing the photoconductor to a period for exposing a dot, is changed in the same document according to dot information on the document such as an edge signal. In the modulation of the optical intensity, the light emission onto the photoconductor is performed with a duty ratio which may be set for each dot. Image portions formed with different duty ratios may exist at the same time in a reproduced image. For example, an edge portion in a document is reproduced at the duty ratio of 100% while a non-edge portion is reproduced at the duty ratio less than 100%.

    摘要: In a digital image forming apparatus, when a latent image is formed on a photoconductor by modulating optical intensity of laser beam, the laser beam is emitted in a period of a duty ratio while modulated according to image data, and the image is formed on a sheet of paper. This process is repeated for four colors for a color document. The duty ratio, defined as a ratio of a light-emitting time of a light exposing the photoconductor to a period for exposing a dot, is changed in the same document. For example, the light emission timing pattern is changed between odd and even lines. In another example, the light-emission timings may be changed at least for one of the reproduction colors. The light-emission timing patterns may be provided for each of reproduction colors. The light-emission timing patterns may be changed to have a constant or different screening angle between colors. Image quality of a half-tone image is improved by using such patterns.

    摘要: A test pattern comprising a half-tone pattern portion and an edge pattern portion printed according to standard printing data is read by a CCD sensor. A pattern discriminator detects the positions of the half-tone pattern portion and the edge pattern portion. In accordance with a prescribed edge detection criteria using the primary differential data .DELTA.D of density determined by primary differential filters, the CPU determines whether the inputted image data correspond to a uniform density region or whether the inputted image data correspond to an edge portion. If the region discrimination result is different from the result of the pattern detection, the edge detection criteria are changed. The image data is then subjected to MTF correction, and conditions for smoothing or edge emphasizing are altered so that the difference between the corrected image data and the standard printing data remains within a allowable range.
