A mobile terminal apparatus portable by a user includes a recording unit, a memory, an estimating unit, and an output unit. The recording unit records a sound that has been produced by another apparatus. The memory stores a cause of an unusual noise that occurs in the other apparatus and intensities of individual frequency components of the unusual noise in association with each other. The estimating unit estimates a cause of the sound that has been produced by the other apparatus, on the basis of intensities of individual frequency components of the sound recorded by the recording unit and content stored in the memory, the intensities being calculated from the sound. The output unit outputs information about the cause of the sound estimated by the estimating unit.

A bi-color-image-signal generating apparatus includes a reception unit and a generating unit. The reception unit receives specification of a specified color in a case of generating a bi-color image signal from a color image signal. The bi-color image signal has color components representing two colors which are an achromatic color and a chromatic color that is the specified color. The generating unit obtains an amount of each color material which is to be used to form an image having the two colors from the color image signal on the basis of a brightness of the specified color, an amount of each color material which is necessary for image formation using the specified color, and a brightness of the color image signal, and generates the bi-color image signal from the color image signal using the obtained amount of each color material.

An image processing apparatus includes: a printing unit that prints image information containing two or more colors with a plurality of color information corresponding to a plurality of specified colors; and a changing unit that changes, when a total toner amount is larger than a threshold value, at least one of the plurality of color information corresponding to one of the plurality of specified colors so that the total toner amount to be used for printing the image information is smaller than the threshold value.

Image processing apparatus, image forming apparatus, image processing method and computer readable medium for controlling toner consumption

According to an aspect of the invention, an image processing apparatus includes an adjustment section, an edge enhancement section, a reception section and a changing section. The adjustment section performs adjustment of a black amount for an input image signal including a plurality of color signals. The adjustment section outputs an output image signal including a plurality of color signals that contain black whose amount is adjusted. The edge enhancement section performs an edge enhancement process for the output image signal output from the adjustment section. The reception section receives setting of an edge enhancement degree used in the edge enhancement section. The changing section changes setting of the adjustment of the black amount in the adjustment section, according to the setting of the edge enhancement degree received by the reception section.

An image processing apparatus includes: a region recognizing unit that recognizes a region to be subjected to spot color processing in a digital image that is read from an image database in which a plurality of digital images are stored; a color information acquiring unit that acquires target color information to serve as a replacement target in the spot color processing; and a converting unit that converts color information of the region recognized by the region recognizing unit into the target color information acquired by the color information acquiring unit.

Image processing apparatus, image processing method and program product therefor

An image processing apparatus includes: a reference object discriminating unit that discriminates a reference object from a digital image that is taken by capturing an object together with the reference object; a size information extracting unit that extracts size information of the reference object in the digital image; a size information comparing unit that acquires target size information of the reference object, and compares the size information of the reference object that is extracted by the size information extracting unit with the target size information; a correction size amount setting unit that sets a correction size amount on the basis of the comparison result of the size information comparing unit; and an image processing unit that performs image processing on the digital image in accordance with the correction size amount that is set by the correction size amount setting unit.

A maximum color identifying portionidentifies a maximum color from coloring material colors used to reproduce a color of a line segment after color conversion into coloring material colors by a character/line color converting portionis applied to the rasterized image signal. A structure deciding portionoutputs a screen parameter flag that controls a screen parameter in compliance with the identified maximum color and a drawing direction of the line segment such that the screen process in the maximum color is executed at a screen angle, that is different from the drawing direction of the line segment, in a character/line screen processing portion. The character/line screen processing portionapplies the screen process to the image in accordance with the screen parameter flag by using the screen parameter at the screen angle that is different from the drawing direction of the line segment. Accordingly, disappearance of the line segment due to the screen process is avoided.

Image processing system, image forming system, and recording medium

In an image forming apparatus, in accordance with formation of paper, there are controlled parameters; that is, a color conversion parameter pertaining to a color conversion section of a drawing section ; a parameter pertaining to a correction curve of an TRC&middot;&ggr; correction section or a parameter pertaining to the number of screens or a growth pattern of a screen processing section provided in a printer engine control section ; parameters for use in adjusting electrification, exposure, and a voltage to be used during a developing operation, which are employed in a printer engine ; a parameter for adjusting a voltage or current during a transfer operation; and a parameter for adjusting a fixing temperature or pressure. Parameters are controlled so as to reduce inconsistencies, which would otherwise arise in paper of poor formation. Thus, picture quality of an image is improved while inconsistencies are made less noticeable.

A color image forming device produces a good image form, superior in color and gradation reproduction, and little over-enhancement in sharpness during generation duplicating. The device has an image processing parameter storage unit that stores parameters for processing which correspond to original document modes in respective processing blocks. An image processing parameter detector detects the original document mode, and provides the mode to the respective components as an original document mode directive TAG. When generation duplicating is designated, the generation duplicating mode corresponding to the set original document mode is set, and various parameter settings are indicated corresponding to the set generation duplicating mode in the image processing parameter storage unit. By such, the operation in each image processing module is converted to the set generation duplicating mode.
