IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240314259 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF

The abstract describes an image processing apparatus that corrects color conversion information and applies color conversion processing to different regions of an image based on this information.

The apparatus obtains image data and first color conversion information.
It divides the image data into multiple region data.
The first color conversion information is corrected to generate second color conversion information.
Color conversion processing is applied to each region data based on either the first or second color conversion information.
If the color difference between two colors obtained by converting based on the first color conversion information is small, and the color difference between the same colors obtained by converting based on the second color conversion information is large, the second color conversion information is used.

Potential Applications: - Image processing in photography - Color correction in graphic design - Video editing software

Problems Solved: - Ensures accurate color conversion in different regions of an image - Improves color consistency and quality in image processing

Benefits: - Enhanced color accuracy in image processing - Efficient color correction in various applications - Improved visual quality in digital media

Commercial Applications: "Advanced Color Conversion Technology for Image Processing: Enhancing Color Accuracy in Photography and Graphic Design"

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the apparatus determine which color conversion information to apply to each region of the image? 2. What are the specific criteria used to correct the first color conversion information to generate the second color conversion information?

Original Abstract Submitted

an image processing apparatus obtains image data; obtains first color conversion information applicable to the image data; divides the image data into a plurality of region data; corrects the first color conversion information to generate second color conversion information; and applies, to each of the plurality of region data, color conversion processing based on one of the first color conversion information and the second color conversion information. if a color difference between a third color and a fourth color obtained by converting a first color and a second color based on the first color conversion information is smaller than a predetermined color difference, a color difference between a fifth color and a sixth color obtained by converting the first color and the second color based on the second color conversion information is larger than the predetermined color difference.
