An information processing apparatus for processing an image includes circuitry unit and a communication interface. The circuitry acquires identification information to identify a set of one or more objects to be imaged by an imaging device according to a predetermined imaging sequence. The communication interface transmits at least one image of the set of one or more objects that is captured by the imaging device in association with the identification information, to a management device.

Information processing system to obtain and manage images of a property

An image management system includes a reception unit and transmission unit. The reception unit receives, from a first communication terminal, link information that is transmitted from the image management system and is managed in a link information management system. The transmission unit transmits, to the first communication terminal, a view script and image data corresponding to the link information. The image data is received from a second communication terminal.

Image management system, image management method, and program

An image processing apparatus is disclosed, including a marking position detection part and a first character recognition part. The marking position detection part detects a marking position with respect to a first sheet based on first image data scanned from the first sheet. The first character recognition part conducts a first character recognition with respect to an area specified based on the marking position, for second image data scanned from a second sheet.

Image processing apparatus, image processing system, and image processing method

An image processing method includes searching an image area corresponding to a predetermined image from a photographed image obtained by photographing the predetermined image, which is projected on a projection plane; calculating parameters, which are used for correcting perspective distortion of the photographed image, based on the searched image area; and correcting the photographed image and another image, which is photographed after calculating the parameters, based on the calculated parameters.

Image processing method, and recording medium storing image processing control program

Image processing apparatus, image processing system, and image conducting character recognition with respect to image data

An apparatus generates display data on a display unit. An image constructing unit constructs an image of an image list including a plurality of images each corresponding to an image data file. A data output unit outputs first display data of the image list, and then, when a switching command is received from a user, outputs second display data of the image list in response to the switching command. A confirmation calculating unit calculates a degree of confirmation indicating whether a user confirmation is performed for each of the images in the image list. An image modifying unit modifies the images in the image list based on the degree of confirmation.

Method and apparatus for generating image display data

A disclosed image display apparatus for displaying multiple images on a single screen includes a magnification unit configured to, in response to a zooming operation on the screen, magnify distances between centroids of first group images included in the multiple images and magnify the first group images; and a display control unit configured to display in a space of the magnified distances one or more images different from the multiple images. A magnification rate of the distances between the centroids has a nonlinear relationship to a magnification rate of the first group images, and within an extent of the nonlinear relationship, the magnification rate of the distances between the centroids has a predetermined range in which the magnification rate of the first group images is larger than the magnification rate of the distances between the centroids.

Zooming operations and magnification for groups of images

An image processing device is disclosed that classifies images in an image database and displays the classified images for searching, and is able to easily narrow a range of candidate images and improve operability. The image processing device includes a first classification unit, a display image controller that generates a display image for displaying a status of the classification performed by the first classification unit; a second classification unit that enables a user to select one or more categories included in the display image, and classifies image documents included in a selected category; a detection unit that detects a searching status; and a classification key selection unit that selects a classification key for the second classification unit in response to detection results of the detection unit.

Image processing device with classification key selection unit and image processing method

An image processing apparatus capable of automatically adjusting the enlargement ratio and the position of images and to display the noticed areas of all selected images is disclosed. When a two image display mode is selected, an image previously displayed (a first image) and an image to be displayed in the two image display mode (a second image) are loaded from a memory into a display controlling unit and a correction value calculating unit. The display controlling unit performs enlarging and moving operations with respect to the first image and the second image simultaneously. The correction value calculating unit searches for an area in the second image (a corrected area) most resembling an enlarged area in the first image so as to enlarge the corrected area in the second image. The images processed by the display controlling unit are transmitted to an image display memory.

Image processing apparatus, image processing method, program, and recording medium

An image processing apparatus is disclosed. The image processing apparatus includes a detector, a parameter calculating section, a storing section, a correction section, and a pseudo continuous tone processing section. The detector detects an amount of an out of color registration of a color laser printer. The parameter calculating section calculates a correction parameter based on the amount of the out of color registration detected by the detector. The storing section stores the calculated correction parameter. The correction section corrects input image data based on the calculated correction parameter by reading from the storing section. The pseudo continuous tone processing section applies a pseudo continuous tone process to the corrected input image data.

Image processing apparatus and method thereof, and image forming apparatus using the image processiing apparatus

In an image processing apparatus, a pseudo tone processor performs a pseudo tone process by performing an area coverage modulation expression process with respect to M-bit image data, to thereby convert the M-bit image data into N-bit image data, where N is smaller than M. A lossy compressor performs lossy compression with respect to the N-bit image data, by suppressing fluctuations in a pseudo tone processing frequency within a certain range.
