Abstract: According to one embodiment, an image reading device includes an image reading unit, a control unit, and an output unit. The image reading unit reads an image formed on a document to generate read image data. The control unit extracts at least one predetermined area from the read image data to generate extracted image data, compares the extracted image data and reference image data determined for each of the predetermined area, for each of the predetermined area, and generates an aggregated image obtained by aggregating the extracted image data and information indicating a result of the comparison. The output unit outputs the aggregated image.

Abstract: A image forming apparatus includes a display, a user input device, a printer unit, and a processor. The processor causes a color patch image output screen to be displayed. The color patch image output screen includes user selectable hues. Once the hue selection is received a color patch image based on the hue selection is displayed. The color patch image includes several different colors indexed by a color number value. A color patch number input screen is then displayed and includes a color to be adjusted input field and a target color input field. User inputs for a first color patch number and a second color patch number are received via the displayed screen. The processor then performs a color conversion such that the first color patch number corresponds to the second color patch number when the printer unit prints an image using the image data.

Abstract: According to an embodiment, an image processing apparatus includes a display device and a processor. The display device displays a first image corresponding to first image data based on a document to be adjusted, and a second image corresponding to second image data based on a document for comparison. The processor creates a first conversion table by calculating a color value defined in a first color space and corresponding to a first position specified in the displayed first image, and a color value defined in the first color space and corresponding to a second position specified in the displayed second image.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes an interface and a control part. The interface receives an image which is transmitted from a first terminal and in which a person and an object as a reference of magnitude of one pixel are photographed. The control part calculates a size of clothes suitable for the person based on the image and a magnitude of the object in the image, and transmits information relating to the clothes with this size to the first terminal through the interface.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an image processing apparatus including a preview image creating section configured to create a preview image corresponding to image data, a display section configured to display the preview image, an additional image input section configured to acquire and store image data to be added to the preview image displayed by the display section, and an image synthesizing section configured to superimpose the image data to be added to the preview image by the additional image input section on the image data used in forming the preview image.

Abstract: When a document image is read out by a scanner 36, the read-out image data is temporarily stored in a RAM 22. Each time adjustment-use data is set, the image data in the RAM 22 is adjusted in accordance with the adjustment-use data. The adjusted image data is displayed on a liquid-crystal display image screen 4a of the control panel 4. Where the displayed image is accepted by the user, the adjusted image is printed by a printer 37 or stored in a hard disk drive 25.

Abstract: A basic image signal processing method is to enable the setting of a printing image to be checked accurately on the monitor without trial printing of the image. In an image processing method of converting image data from a sender into printing image data, image data is received from the sender and print setting information about the image data is received from the sender. On the basis of the print setting information, the image data received is converted into printing image data. Then, the converted printing image data is returned to a device at the sender. When new print setting information is received, the image data received is converted into printing image data again on the basis of the new print setting information. The converted new printing image data is returned to the device at the sender.
