IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS FOR GENERATING COLOR-REDUCED IMAGE, CONTROL METHOD THEREOF, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18397169 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS FOR GENERATING COLOR-REDUCED IMAGE, CONTROL METHOD THEREOF, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
The abstract describes an image processing apparatus that can generate a color-reduced image with high object reproducibility. The apparatus determines representative colors based on the attributes of pixels in the acquired image and converts the RGB values accordingly to create the color-reduced image.
- The apparatus determines representative colors based on the chroma and brightness attributes of pixels in the acquired image.
- It converts the RGB values of pixels with high chroma attributes into representative colors to enhance object reproducibility.
- The RGB values of pixels with low brightness attributes are converted into a different representative color to reduce the overall color palette of the image.
- By selectively converting RGB values, the apparatus can create a color-reduced image while maintaining object reproducibility.
Potential Applications: - Image editing software - Graphic design tools - Color correction applications
Problems Solved: - Efficient color reduction in images - Improved object reproducibility in color-manipulated images
Benefits: - Enhanced image quality - Simplified color reduction process - Consistent object representation in edited images

Original Abstract Submitted
An image processing apparatus capable of generating a color-reduced image having high object reproducibility. The image processing apparatus: determines a first representative color(s)/a second representative color/a third representative color, based on an RGB value of a pixel determined to have a high chroma attribute/a low chroma attribute/a low brightness attribute based on a chroma binary image/on a chroma binary image/on a brightness binary image, among pixels constituting an acquired image; generates a converted image by converting the RGB value of the pixel having the high chroma attribute/low chroma attribute into an RGB value indicating the first representative color/second representative color; generates a color-reduced image by converting the RGB value of the pixel determined to have the low brightness attribute among pixels constituting the converted image into an RGB value indicating the third representative color.
