Patent number: 6008911Abstract: In a digital image forming apparatus wherein a user can change a gradation curve of the density of reproduced image plotted against the input image signal obtained by reading a document, it is needed to compensate a change of color of a reproduced image accompanied by the selection of a changed gradation curve. Then, when input multi-tone image signals of R, G and B are converted to multi-tone image signals of Y, M and C for printing, the masking coefficient used for the conversion from R, G and B to Y, M and C is changed according to the changed gradation curve. Then, the multi-tone image signals of Y, M and C are converted to light quantity data of a beam for exposing a photoconductor to form an image on the photoconductor according to the gradation curve.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 1993Date of Patent: December 28, 1999Assignee: Minolta Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kazuyuki Fukui, Yoshinobu Hada, Takanobu Yamada, Hiroyuki Ideyama

Patent number: 6002404Abstract: An image editing apparatus reads a document image and obtains image data. Thus obtained image data is separately stored as data to be displayed on a display and data for recognizing a closed region in the image. In order to more readily recognize such a closed region, only the latter data is processed without changing the data to be displayed on the display. Thus, an image much easier to view can be displayed on the display.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 1997Date of Patent: December 14, 1999Assignee: Minolta Co., Ltd.Inventor: Hiroyuki Ideyama

Patent number: 5937233Abstract: In order to improve operability of a copying machine which applies an image processing to an area of an original surrounded by a marker, following processes are carried out. An area of an original surrounded by a marker is detected. It is determined whether or not the number of the detected areas exceeds 30, or the time from starting of detection exceeds three minutes during the detection. If any of those two conditions is satisfied, edit based on the marker is not executed and image data which has undergone full-color copying is output.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 1998Date of Patent: August 10, 1999Assignee: Minolta Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hironobu Nakata, Hiroyuki Ideyama, Toshihisa Motosugi
