Patent number: 8503775Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention is to provide an image processing method and an image processing apparatus which can also handle data other than a standard color space and can also handle a case in which the color space of an image color adjustment processing section and that of an image color conversion processing section are different from each other. In one embodiment of the present invention, predetermined color conversion is performed on an image in a first color space, and a first color conversion table defined in the first color space is generated. Next, based on the first color conversion table, a second color conversion table defined in a second color space is generated.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2008Date of Patent: August 6, 2013Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Maya Ishii, Yoshinori Kawai

Patent number: 7842871Abstract: Image data of sheet music formed from a plurality of pages is input, and the input image data is divided into bars. The complexity of performance of each divided bar is determined for each page. An easy-to-play portion is detected as a page feed position for each page in accordance with the determination result. The layout of the sheet music is changed based on the detected page feed position, and the layout-changed sheet music is output.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2008Date of Patent: November 30, 2010Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Maya Ishii, Fumihiro Goto, Ayumi Hori, Manabu Yamazoe, Tohru Ikeda, Hidetsugu Kagawa
