20090147313 | Image processing apparatus, image processing system, and image processing method - An information acquiring unit acquires information indicating whether a color material used at least for image formation is saved. An image-information generating unit creates, when the information acquiring unit acquires the information for saving the color material, image information using the color material of which consumption is saved. | 06-11-2009 |
20100231935 | Color conversion apparatus, and color conversion method and computer program product - A first color conversion unit converts RGB signals from a line input unit to L*a*b* signals. A lightness range compression unit matches the lightness range of the input color signals with that of an output gamut. If the maximum saturation point on an input line is outside the output gamut, an input line correction unit corrects the point in such a manner that it is mapped onto the surface of the output gamut. If a near-surface determination unit determines that the corrected line is not located on the surface of the output gamut, an out-of-gamut mapping unit maps it onto the surface of the output gamut, whereas if it determines that the corrected line is located near the surface of the output gamut, the surface mapping unit maps all points on the surface of the output gamut. A second color conversion unit converts the mapped L*a*b* signals to CMYK signals. | 09-16-2010 |
20130057542 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, STORAGE MEDIUM, AND IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM - An image processing apparatus projecting 3D image data to 2D planar image data includes: an accumulation unit that accumulates the 3D image data having position coordinates and pixel values; an acquisition unit that acquires a display parameter, including a zoom parameter for changing image size, for the 2D image data to be created; a creation unit that creates the 2D image data from the 3D image data with the display parameter by determining a half view angle of the 3D image data and performing inverse projection transformation on the 2D image data while changing, in accordance with a change in the half view angle caused by the change in image size specified by the zoom parameter, an inverse projection transformation method applied to position coordinates used to create the 2D image data; and a display unit that displays the created 2D image data as a 2D planar image. | 03-07-2013 |
