20110080597 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE APPARATUS - There is disclosed an image processing apparatus and a control method thereof in which input image data and generates a plurality of tile images, each including a substance region and overlap regions each of which overlaps with a part of each adjacent tile image, by dividing the input image data. The apparatus executes image processing separately on each of the plurality of the generated tile images, and when generating each tile image, converts a resolution of image data in the overlap regions such that the resolution of the image data in the overlap regions is smaller than a resolution of image data in the substance region. | 04-07-2011 |
20110158523 | IMAGE ENCODING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM - An image encoding apparatus for encoding bitmap data for each block including a plurality of pixels, and the apparatus comprises: a pixel information holding unit which accumulates one of the number of pixels having a designated attribute among the pixels, and a value of the color information of the pixel data, and holds the result as accumulated information; a threshold setting unit which sets a threshold for each designated attribute of a pixel in the block; and an object determination unit which compares the accumulated information held in the pixel information holding unit with the threshold set for each attribute by the threshold setting unit, and determines whether to replace a value of each pixel in the block, based on the comparison result. | 06-30-2011 |
20110205565 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD THAT PERFORM MULTIPLE IMAGE PROCESSES, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - An image processing apparatus that can decompress image data in appropriate manners suitable for a plurality of processes, and simplify and speed up the processes. Blocks of image data are compressed, and information indicative of procedures of the processes to be performed on the blocks of image data by a plurality of image processing units is added to the compressed blocks of image data. Decompression methods for the compressed blocks of image data are determined according to the procedures in the information added to the compressed blocks of image data. The compressed blocks of image data are decompressed using the determined decompression methods. | 08-25-2011 |
20120148270 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM - An image forming apparatus including a developing device corresponding to a color component, comprises: a conversion unit configured to accumulate, for each color component, values of respective pixels for each color component that fall within a predetermined range of image data, and to convert the accumulated value into a count value of the color component; an addition unit configured to add, to the image data, the count value of each color component that has been converted by the conversion unit; and a control unit configured, when forming an image based on the image data, to supply toner to the developing device of each color component in accordance with the count value of the color component that has been added by the addition unit. | 06-14-2012 |
20130120768 | PRINTING APPARATUS, METHOD OF CHANGING LAYOUT, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - Logical pages are laid out on a physical page according to setting of a multipage printing condition. When a user drags a logical page, a layout of logical pages is changed based on an area to which the logical page is dragged. | 05-16-2013 |
