  • Patent number: 11321025
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus that executes hidden-surface elimination can output an image containing an undercoat desired by a user. The image forming apparatus includes an elimination unit that eliminates a region included in a region of a second drawing object in a layer below a first drawing object and overlapping the first drawing object. The first drawing object is contained in an intermediate data which is generated based on page description language data. In a case where the second drawing object is not a drawing object indicating an undercoat image, the elimination unit eliminates the region included in the region of the second drawing object and overlapping the first drawing object. In a case where the second drawing object is a drawing object indicating an undercoat image, the elimination unit does not eliminate the region included in the region of the second drawing object and overlapping the first drawing object.

  • Patent number: 10755150
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus capable of performing pixel synthesis processing at high speed. Synthesis processing of a first object and a second object is performed for an area where the first object and the second object overlap each other. A first image formation processor stores first pixel data, which corresponds to the area, of pixel data of the first object, in a first communication memory and stores second pixel data, which corresponds to the area, of pixel data of the second object, in a second communication memory. A second image formation processor acquires the first and second pixel data from the first and second communication memories, respectively, and performs synthesis processing of the acquired first and second pixel data.
