IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE AND PRINTING APPARATUS DISPLAYING RANGE OF COLORS TARGETED FOR COLOR CALIBRATION SET FOR SPECIFIED COLOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240031508 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE AND PRINTING APPARATUS DISPLAYING RANGE OF COLORS TARGETED FOR COLOR CALIBRATION SET FOR SPECIFIED COLOR

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an image processing device that includes a controller capable of performing two display operations: a first display operation and a second display operation. The second display operation is used to display either a target color or a non-target color in a different manner than how they are displayed in a printing target image shown by the first display operation. The target color is a color intended for color calibration and is part of a color calibration space. This color calibration space is defined by a predetermined number of first grid points and multiple second grid points. The first grid points form a polyhedron that encloses the specified color with the minimum volume, while the second grid points form multiple polyhedra that, together with the first grid points, have the minimum volume. The color calibration space is enclosed by the second grid points.

  • The patent/application involves an image processing device with a controller capable of performing two display operations.
  • The second display operation is used to display target and non-target colors differently from how they appear in a printing target image displayed by the first display operation.
  • The target color is a color intended for color calibration and is part of a color calibration space.
  • The color calibration space is defined by a predetermined number of first grid points and multiple second grid points.
  • The first grid points form a polyhedron enclosing the specified color with the minimum volume.
  • The second grid points form multiple polyhedra that, together with the first grid points, have the minimum volume.
  • The color calibration space is enclosed by the second grid points.

Potential Applications:

  • Color calibration in image processing devices
  • Printing and color reproduction industries
  • Graphic design and digital imaging

Problems Solved:

  • Accurate color calibration in image processing devices
  • Ensuring consistent color reproduction in printing and digital imaging

Benefits:

  • Improved color accuracy and consistency in image processing
  • Enhanced color calibration capabilities
  • Better quality control in printing and color reproduction


Original Abstract Submitted

in an image processing device a controller is configured to perform: a first display operation; and a second display operation to display at least one of a target color and a non-target color in a manner different from the at least one of the target color and the non-target color in a printing target image displayed by the first display operation. the target color is a color targeted for color calibration and included in a color calibration space. the color calibration space is defined by a predetermined number of first grid points and a plurality of second grid points. the first grid points define a first polyhedron with a minimum volume enclosing the specified color. the second grid points define a plurality of second polyhedra with the minimum volume together with the first grid points. the color calibration space is a space enclosed by the second grid points.
