20080231894 | Image processing apparatus, image processing method, and computer program product - An image reading unit acquires image data by reading a document, skin is detected from the image data, and skin processing is performed according to a detection result of detection of the skin. The image data is then corrected to have a predetermined data characteristic, and a second skin processing is performed on the image data based on a skin detection result. An image processing is conducted on the image data according to output characteristic, and then stored in a memory or a hard disk drive so as to be output as appropriate. | 09-25-2008 |
20090123078 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS - An image processing apparatus includes an input processing unit which generates image data and attribute data indicating an attribute of each pixel of the image data from inputted data, a first data compression unit which compresses the image data generated by the input processing unit, a second compression unit as a lossy data compression unit to compress the attribute data generated by the input processing unit, a first expansion unit which expands the image data compressed by the first data compression unit, a second expansion unit which expands the attribute data compressed by the second data compression unit, and an output image processing unit which processes the image data expanded by the first expansion unit with a process condition for the attribute data expanded by the second expansion unit to output the image data expanded by the first expansion unit as image data with predetermined data characteristics. | 05-14-2009 |
20090273814 | APPARATUS AND METHOD OF IMAGE PROCESSING - An image processing apparatus includes a first color determining device, a storage device, a second color determining device, an output image processing device, and a controller. The controller compares between a first area of input image data and a second area of the input image data to generate a comparison result. When the comparison result indicates that the second area of the input image data does not match the first area of the input image data, the controller causes the second color determining device to generate the second determination result and causes the output image data to be generated based on the second determination result. When the comparison result indicates that the second area of the input image data matches the first area of the input image data, the controller causes the output image processing device to apply image processing determined based on the first determination result. | 11-05-2009 |
20100165375 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND IMAGE PROCESSING PROGRAM - An image processing apparatus implements appropriate image processing on image data stored in a storage unit of the image processing apparatus easily and efficiently, and distributes the image data to an external apparatus. An image format conversion unit implements image processing such as resolution conversion processing, filter processing, γ correction processing, and halftone processing on image data stored in an HDD serving as an image data storage unit so that the image data conform to conditions, such as image quality and format, specified by an external client apparatus. The image-processed image data are then distributed to the external client apparatus. | 07-01-2010 |
20110228361 | Image processing apparatus, image processing method and computer program product - A color determination unit divides an original image input from an image scanning unit into blocks, and determines whether or not each block is a color image area. The color determination unit determines whether the original is in color or monochrome in each of a plurality of set areas on the basis of the result of determination on the blocks included in that area. | 09-22-2011 |

20120327467 | APPARATUS, METHOD AND PROGRAM FOR IMAGE PROCESSING CAPABLE OF ENHANCING USABILITY OF IMAGE DATA - An image processing apparatus includes a generator, a storage, an image data format converter, and a sender. The generator generates print image data for printing an image, based on image data sent from an external device. The storage stores the print image data. The image data format converter converts the print image data into image data in a format handled by an external device. The sender sends the converted image data via an IP (internet protocol) network to the external device. The image data format converter performs one of color space conversion, expansion, compression, resolution conversion, filtering, halftone processing, density gamma conversion, and noise removal in accordance with parameters determined based on at least one of property information of the print image data and property information requested by the external device. | 12-27-2012 |
