| 20100053682 | Image processing apparatus, image forming apparatus, image processing method, and computer-readable storage medium containing image processing program - An image processing apparatus of the present invention includes: a blank document determination section determining whether or not input image data is image data of a blank document, regardless of a process mode set for setting a process with respect to the input image data; a storage device storing the input image data in association with a determination result made by the blank document determination section; and a control section (i) reading out the input image data from the storage device and (ii) excluding the input image data determined as image data of a blank document by the blank document determination section, from images to be displayed by the image display device, when the image display device carries out a preview display of the input image data. This configuration makes it possible to carry out a preview display in which a blank document (blank page document) is skipped, without reading the document again. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100053689 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM CONTAINING IMAGE PROCESSING PROGRAM - An image processing apparatus of the present invention uses a spatial filter section or an enlarging/reducing section to perform a blur process on image processing data to be supplied to an image display device, thus allowing the image display device to display a preview without deterioration in image quality. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100053690 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM CONTAINING IMAGE PROCESSING PROGRAM - The image processing apparatus of the present invention includes: a bit number correction process section for converting tones of binary image data into a maximum tone and a minimum tone of multilevel image data; a spatial filter section for performing a smoothing process on image data resulting from the bit number conversion; and an enlarging/reducing section for performing an interporation process on the image data subjected to the smoothing process so that smoothness of tones of the image data is maintained, the image data subjected to the interporation process being supplied to the image display device. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100053709 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM CONTAINING IMAGE PROCESSING PROGRAM - An image processing apparatus of the present invention includes a color matching section for performing, on monochrome or two-color image data to be supplied to an image display device, a color matching process of reducing differences in color from a single- or two-color image to be outputted by an image display device, and as such, can display a comfortable preview of a single- or two-color image data by reducing differences in color between an image to be previewed and an image to be actually printed. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100054598 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - An image processing apparatus includes a segmentation process section for performing a segmentation process on image data and a spatial filer section for performing a spatial filter process on the image data. The spatial filter section performs, on image data for use in printing or facsimile transmission, a spatial filer process that varies according to a result of the segmentation process, and performs, on image data for use in a preview display, a spatial filter process irrelevant to the result of the segmentation process. This makes it possible to provide an image processing apparatus capable of suppressing deterioration in quality of an image whose preview is displayed. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100202000 | Image processing apparatus, image reading processing apparatus, image forming apparatus, image processing method, image processing program, and storage medium - In an image processing apparatus, a color/monochrome determination section determines whether color image data is image data indicative of a color document or image data indicative of a monochrome document, regardless of which color setting is selected to output image data, and a control section stores a determination result and the color image data in a storage device so that they are correlated with each other. Upon receiving a change instruction to change the color setting, the control section generates output image data, following a color setting that is changed according to the change instruction, on the basis of the determination result and the color image data each stored in the storage device. As a result, even if the color setting is desired to be changed, it is possible to carry out output processing without reading the document from an image reading apparatus again. | 08-12-2010 |
| 20100253702 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - An image processing apparatus performs a downsampling process on image data, and supplies the image data after the downsampling process to a display device as image data for use in a display. Further, the image processing apparatus includes: a segmentation process section which performs a segmentation process on the image data; and a spatial filter section which performs first image processing that varies according to a result of the segmentation process. When a degree of downsampling in the downsampling process is not higher than a predetermined reference level, the spatial filter section performing the first image processing on the image data; and when the degree of downsampling in the downsampling process is higher than the predetermined reference level, the spatial filter section performs second image processing irrelevant to the result of the segmentation process, instead of performing the first image processing, on the image data. This brings about an advantage of making it possible to suppress deterioration in quality of an image whose preview is displayed. | 10-07-2010 |
| 20110102869 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM ON WHICH IMAGE PROCESSING PROGRAM IS RECORDED - A two color process section included in the image processing apparatus includes a luminance and chroma calculation section, an image-data determination section, and an output-color generation section. The luminance and chroma calculation section calculates a luminance value and a chroma value based on input image data. The image-data determination section determines the input image data, the chroma value of which is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold, as first input image data constituting a chromatic color in a two-color image and determines the input image data, the chroma value of which is less than the threshold, as second input image data constituting an achromatic color in the two-color image. The output-color generation section generates image data of CMY from the first input image data based on the chroma value and the luminance value and generates image data of CMY from the second input image data based on the luminance value. | 05-05-2011 |
