Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090009785IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, APPARATUS AND MEMORY MEDIUM THEREFOR - Correction for color fog is securely achieved with limited load of processing. The RGB image data are converted into the luminance Y and the chromaticity values C01-08-2009
20090059269RECORDING APPARATUS IMAGE SUPPLY DEVICE AND RECORDING SYSTEM AND CONTROL METHOD AND PROGRAM THEREOF - When a print command that designates a layout recording function by its upper layer, and designates a frame print function by its lower layer is transmitted from a camera to a printer, the printer determines a layout print function that prints a plurality of images on a single sheet, based on the upper layer. In a case where the printer can determine the lower layer of the command, the printer acquires details of a layout. In a case where the printer cannot determine the lower layer of the command, the printer determines a normal frame print function. The printer prints a normal layout image or special frame image in accordance with the determined layout of images.03-05-2009
20090316985IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD AND APPARATUS AND STORAGE MEDIUM - Software of a simple configuration checks whether an original image to be corrected is an image picture, and an image correction process based upon a formed histogram of the original image is not performed for an image different from the image picture. An image processing condition is set in accordance with the formed histogram to perform the image correction process for the original image. An image processing method judges from a shape of the formed histogram whether the original image is an image picture, and does not perform not perform the image correction process for the original image if it is judged that the original image is not an image picture.12-24-2009
20100284031IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, IMAGE FORMING METHOD, COMPUTER PROGRAM, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - An image processing method is applied for recording an image on a recording medium using a plurality of color materials including a chromatic material and an achromatic material. A total amount of recording of the chromatic material is smaller than a total amount of recording of the achromatic material, and a plurality of monochrome modes including a first monochrome mode and a second monochrome mode are provided, the total amount of recording of the chromatic material being different for each of the monochrome modes. The image processing method includes adjusting the amount of recording of the achromatic material so that a recording density of an image recorded in the first monochrome mode and a recording density of an image recorded in the second monochrome mode become equivalent to each other with respect to the same luminance signal.11-11-2010
20110091104IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, APPARATUS AND MEMORY MEDIUM THEREFOR - Correction for color fog is securely achieved with limited load of processing. The RGB image data are converted into the luminance and the chromaticity values C04-21-2011
20110267655IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, IMAGE PROCESSING PROGRAM, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - An image processing apparatus to perform an edge intensifying processing of an image includes an obtaining unit, a calculating unit, a setting unit, and a processing unit. The obtaining unit obtains image data composed of pixels aligned in a main scanning direction and a sub-scanning direction perpendicular to the main scanning direction. The calculating unit obtains an edge direction of an image and a variation amount indicating a magnitude of change in a luminance value. The setting unit sets an intensity of the edge intensifying processing. The processing unit performs the edge intensifying processing. In a case where the image data resolution in the sub-scanning direction is higher than in the main scanning direction, the setting unit sets the intensity of the edge intensifying processing to an amount that is higher when the edge direction is the sub-scanning direction than when the edge direction is the main scanning direction.11-03-2011
20120004858SYSTEM FOR ANALYZING EXPRESSION PROFILE, AND PROGRAM THEREFOR - The present invention provides a system for analyzing an expression profile in which a large number of expression profile data obtained by a next-generation high-speed sequencer, a similar experimental technique, or the like is analyzed at high speed by a general-purpose computer, gene expression patterns are visualized, thereby easily analyzing to which gene a novel gene is similar in function. A system for analyzing an expression profile which analyzes gene expression profile data includes a storage unit which stores the number of counts of mRNAs expressed from a subject gene to be evaluated as expression data under each of a plurality of gene expression conditions for each subject gene name, a correspondence analysis unit which reads the expression data from the storage unit for each subject gene, and carries out correspondence analysis on the basis of the number of counts under each expression condition in expression data, a coordinate conversion unit which converts n-dimensional (n: natural number) scores obtained by the correspondence analysis to coordinate values for m-dimensionally (m: natural number, m≦n) arranging each subject gene, and an image processing unit which carries out plotting along the corresponding coordinate values for each gene to display the result on an image display unit.01-05-2012
