Abstract:
An image processing apparatus includes a receiving unit, a generating unit, and a determining unit. The receiving unit receives first image data. The first image data includes a first part corresponding to a manuscript and a second part corresponding to a non-manuscript. The generating unit generates second image data by processing the second part. The determining unit determines whether the manuscript is processed as a monochromatic image or a color image, based on the second image data. The determining unit outputs a result of the determination.
Abstract:
An image processing apparatus that generates contour information of an image object included in input image data and compresses image data using the contour information includes a smoothing processing part that performs a smoothing process on the input image data; a contour extraction part that extracts the contour information of the image object included in the image data on which the smoothing process is performed; and a contour correction part that corrects the contour information extracted by the contour extraction part.
Abstract:
An image processing apparatus includes an attribute image generation part that analyzes image data of an original image and generates image data of an attribute image for each pixel, the attribute image having a first attribute value, a compression image generation part that generates image data of a first compression image that includes a compression image of the first part image and image data of a second compression image, and a format part that generates, based on the image data of the attribute image, image data that shows the first attribute value for each pixel as selection data being used to select a pixel value of each pixel, and generates data in a multilayer data format that includes the selection data, the image data of the first compression image and the image data of the second compression image.
Abstract:
Provided is an image interpolating unit including: a first interpolation pixel generator that generates a first pixel value; a second interpolation pixel generator that detects, based on a total of differences between pixel values in a pixel group centered around a lost pixel and pixel values in pixel groups centered around a single pixel around the lost pixel, reference pixels of the lost pixel, and generate, based on the reference pixels, a second pixel value on the lost pixel; a reference pixel edge amount calculator; and an interpolator that inserts, as an interpolation pixel value, one of the first and the second pixel values into a position corresponding to the lost pixel, based on edge amounts of the reference pixels and a total of differences between pixel values in a pixel group centered around the reference pixels and the pixel values in the pixel group centered around the lost pixel.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus for depicting a gradation image through halftones includes a threshold value generating unit for generating a threshold value matrix, and a comparison unit for converting the gradation image. The threshold value generating unit determines an order of gradations of pixels in halftones. The threshold value generating unit determines an order of standard dots. Further, the threshold value generating unit is configured to determine a priority order of gradations between the halftones. The threshold value generating unit further determines an order of the threshold values of the gradations of all of the pixels according to the order of the gradations of the pixels contained in the halftones and the priority order of the gradations between the halftones, so that the threshold value generating unit generates the threshold value matrix.
