  • Patent number: 11831845
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes circuitry. The circuitry acquires a first colorimetric value of a target color mixture from a chart printed out in a first state. The circuitry acquires a second colorimetric value of an adjacent color mixture and acquires a second colorimetric value of an adjacent color mixture from a chart printed out in a second state. The circuitry acquires a third colorimetric value of a pre-correction color mixture. The circuitry adds a difference between the first colorimetric value and the second colorimetric value to the third colorimetric value and calculates a predicted colorimetric. The circuitry determines whether a color difference between the predicted colorimetric value and the first colorimetric value. The circuitry acquires, as a correction value, the second gradation value corresponding to the second colorimetric value. The circuitry corrects a corresponding one of the one or more first gradation values by using the correction value.

  • Publication number: 20230291863
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes circuitry to derive, referring to a dictionary in which a target color having brightness and gloss is associated with a combination of amounts of color materials including one or more process color materials and a color material having brightness and gloss, amounts of the one or more process color materials and another amount of another color material, such that an amount corresponding to at least a part of the one or more process color materials corresponding to the target color in the dictionary is replaced with the another amount of the another color material. The combination of the amounts of color materials is for reproducing the target color included in an image formed by an image forming apparatus. The circuitry further updates the dictionary with the amounts of the one or more process color materials and the another amount of the another color material.

  • Publication number: 20120263372
    Abstract: A first image and a second image make a stereo pair. A parallax between each subject image in the first image and a corresponding subject image in the second image is calculated. A 3D image formed by the first image and the second image is divided into a plurality of areas. Detection is made as to which of the areas each parallax calculated by the parallax calculator is present in. A desired parallax is determined on the basis of the calculated parallax or parallaxes present in one of the areas. An object image is superimposed on the first image and the second image in said one of the areas in a manner such that a parallax between the object image superimposed on the first image and the object image superimposed on the second image will be equal to the desired parallax.

  • Patent number: 5226144
    Abstract: A data processing system that includes a plurality of processors with at least a portion of this plurality of processors each individually connected to a cache memory for storing data for that processor. Each cache memory includes a cache controller that is connected to a bus. Each controller includes a circuit for independently storing a data coherency procedure indicator indicating that the controller will perform one of two or more data coherency procedures. According to one procedure, when data is updated in a cache memory, corresponding data is updated in another cache that stores the corresponding data. In a second data coherency procedure, when data is updated in one cache, the corresponding data stored in another cache is invalidated. The individual and independent storing of the coherency procedure indicator enables each cache to perform either one or the other data coherency procedure without interfering with the data coherency procedures performed by other caches in the data processing system.
