IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18600427 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM
The abstract describes an image processing apparatus that makes decisions on color mapping methods for partial originals based on pixel values and print color gamuts, and then performs color conversion accordingly.
- Decision unit determines color mapping methods for partial originals based on pixel values and print color gamuts.
- Color conversion unit performs color conversion using the decided color mapping methods for each partial original.
Potential Applications:
- Printing industry for accurate color reproduction.
- Graphic design for precise color matching.
Problems Solved:
- Ensures accurate color reproduction on prints.
- Streamlines the color conversion process for different partial originals.
Benefits:
- Improved color accuracy in printing.
- Efficient color conversion process.
Commercial Applications:
- Printing companies can use this technology to ensure high-quality prints with accurate colors, attracting more customers in the market.
Questions about Image Processing Apparatus: 1. How does the decision unit determine the color mapping methods for partial originals?
- The decision unit analyzes pixel values and print color gamuts to make informed decisions.
2. What are the potential benefits of using this image processing apparatus in the graphic design industry?
- The technology can help graphic designers achieve precise color matching in their designs.
Original Abstract Submitted
An image processing apparatus comprising: a decision unit configured to decide a first color mapping method to a print color gamut for a first partial original based on a pixel value included in the first partial original and the print color gamut of a print unit and decide a second color mapping method to a print color gamut for a second partial original based on a pixel value included in the second partial original and the print color gamut of the print unit; and a color conversion unit configured to perform color conversion of the first partial original by the first color mapping method decided, and perform color conversion of the second partial original by the second color mapping method decided.
