IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18307078 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an image processing apparatus that can detect and incorporate the light emission from a fluorescent color material in a reproduced image.
- Image obtaining unit: Obtains image data by optically scanning an original image.
- Light emission amount obtaining unit: Detects the amount of fluorescence light emitted by a fluorescent color material in the original image.
- Estimating unit: Estimates the component of light emission caused by the fluorescent color material in the obtained image data, based on the detected fluorescence light emission amount.
- Correcting unit: Corrects the image data by using the estimated component of light emission.
- Output unit: Outputs the corrected image data.
Original Abstract Submitted
An image processing apparatus that can determine a light emission component due to excitation of a fluorescent color material and reflect the light emission component in a reproduced image. To this end, the image processing apparatus includes an image obtaining unit configured to obtain image data obtained by optically reading an original image, a light emission amount obtaining unit configured to obtain a fluorescence light emission amount obtained by optically detecting a fluorescent color material in the original image; an estimating unit configured to estimate a component attributable to light emission by the fluorescent color material in the obtained image data, based on the obtained fluorescence light emission amount, a correcting unit configured to correct the image data by using the estimated component attributable to light emission, and an output unit configured to output the corrected image data.
