摘要:
A digital camera as an image capturing apparatus detects a voltage of a battery arranged in the image capturing apparatus. If the voltage detected is equal to or less than a predetermined voltage, the digital camera terminates transmitting image data into an external apparatus, stores the image data into a storage memory if not yet stored in the storage memory, and disconnects a network connection with the external apparatus. If the voltage detected is greater than the predetermined voltage, the digital camera connects to the network and transmits image data specified by user in advance. When the detected voltage is equal to or less than the predetermined voltage even if during the transmitting, the digital camera terminates the transmitting, stores the image data, and disconnects the network. The digital camera then retransmits the image data not yet transmitted after the digital camera is turned on again, and displays a message, which shows that all of the image data has been transmitted completely, on a display unit.

A method for optimizing rendering of objects to be printed on a white background, includes identifying an object of a particular type to be printed on a white background, wherein objects of the particular type have predefined rendering hints associated with them, which predefined rendering hints provide optimized rendering of the objects of the particular type on non-white backgrounds; associating a new tag called nullobject on whitenull with the identified object; defining a new rendering hint for rendering the object of the particular type on a white background with the identified object; and rendering objects with the object on white tag according to the new rendering hint.

A white background determination section performs a white background determination on the basis of a white threshold calculated by a white threshold calculation section and an area size selected by an area size determination section. A character discrimination section executes character recognition such that a condition for character discrimination is relaxed when the white background determination section determines that a pixel of interest belongs to a white background, and the condition for character discrimination is made stricter in other cases.

A copier and method for automatically determining whether the original is color or monochrome and generating a corresponding copy. The copier comprises a scanner which generates RGB data from the document, a color/monochrome processor which determines whether the document is a color or monochrome document based on the RGB data from the scanner.

An image processing apparatus reads an original by R, G and B sensors and a monochromatic sensor, and includes Log conversion means for subjecting signals produced by the reading to Log conversion. When two-color printing is performed, Log conversion parameters are individually set for one of signals produced by the reading of the R, G and B sensors and for a signal produced by the reading of the monochromatic sensor.

There is described an image-capturing apparatus, which has plural kinds of image sensors, sensitivities of which are different relative to each other, for recording wide dynamic range image data, and an image processing apparatus for applying optimization processing to the wide dynamic range image data. The image capturing apparatus includes a scene-referred raw data generating section to generate scene-referred raw data sets; a scene-referred image data synthesizing section to synthesize scene-referred image data; a synthesizing-information data generating section to generate synthesizing-information data; an output-referred image data generating section to generate output-referred image data by applying an optimization processing to the scene-referred image data; a differential data generating section to generate differential data between the scene-referred image data and the output-referred image data; and a controlling section to store the output-referred image data attached with the synthesizing-information data and the differential data into a storage medium.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for classifying an input image as black and white or color is described. The method calculates a first ratio of a color pixel portion to a total pixel portion in the input image. Next, the method calculates a second ratio of the color pixel portion to a combined pixel portion in the input image, where the combined pixel portion comprises the color pixel portion and a dark black and white pixel portion. Finally, the method returns an indication the input image is black and white if the first ratio is less than a first threshold and the second ratio is less than a second threshold.

An image processing apparatus includes a first unit that converts image area information related to a predetermined image area of image data into predetermined information and a second unit that attaches the predetermined information to the image data. The predetermined information is coordinates of a rectangle, and the second unit attaches the coordinates to the image data as a tag based on a predetermined format.
