  • Patent number: 10311331
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a feature value extractor and an image adjuster. The feature value extractor extracts feature values of a first specified image, which is an image of a region specified in advance in a first image. The image adjuster changes, in a case where the feature values of the first specified image are to be reflected in a second image, for each region of the second image, a degree to which the feature values of the first specified image are to be reflected, and adjusts an image quality of the second image.

  • Publication number: 20160275645
    Abstract: A selection support apparatus includes a display, an enlarging unit, and a determining unit. The display displays an image on a display screen including multiple unit regions in which a designation operation by an operator is detected. The enlarging unit enlarges the image such that a part of the image displayed on one of the multiple unit regions of the display screen is displayed on an enlarged region including two or more of the plural unit regions neighboring each other of the display screen. The determining unit determines that the part of the image is selected if the designation operation by the operator is detected in all or at least one of the unit regions included in the enlarged region.

  • Publication number: 20150339551
    Abstract: Provided is an image processing apparatus including a reception unit that receives designation of a foreground portion included in a foreground region of an image displayed on a display screen, and a region forming unit that forms a foreground candidate region including the foreground portion, wherein the reception unit receives designation of an addition to the image after the foreground candidate region is formed, and the region forming unit sets whether the designation of the addition is used to designate the foreground region or a background region of the image excluding the foreground region according to whether the designation of the addition is present outside or inside the foreground candidate region, and re-forms the foreground candidate region according to the foreground portion and the designation of the addition.

  • Patent number: 9171218
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a reception unit, a determination unit, a handwriting separation unit, an image generation unit, an image recognition unit, and an output unit. The reception unit receives handwriting information. The determination unit determines whether first handwriting indicated by first handwriting information and second handwriting indicated by second handwriting information overlap each other on the basis of the handwriting information. The handwriting separation unit separates the first handwriting from the second handwriting by changing a first/second handwriting position in the first/second handwriting information when the determination unit has determined that the first and second handwriting overlap each other. The image generation unit generates an image from handwriting information obtained through the separation, and information regarding handwriting that has been determined not to overlap other handwriting. The image recognition unit recognizes the generated image.

  • Patent number: 8441692
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a binarization section, a determination section and an area setting section. The binarization section binarizes a given image. The determination section determines whether or not a pixel to be determined is effective in accordance with the number of pixels of one value of a binary value in each of determination areas. Each of the determination areas are placed so as not to contain the pixel to be determined in the binarized image and so as not to overlap in a predetermined direction of the pixel to be determined. The area setting section sets an area including the pixel determined effective in the determination section.
