  • Patent number: 11948342
    Abstract: A first binary image is generated by binarizing an input image based on a threshold, a second binary image is generated by changing a pixel that has predetermined high luminance in the input image into a black pixel, and whether a black pixel cluster in the second binary image is made to be an extraction target is determined based on a position of a character image identified based on a black pixel cluster in the first binary image, and a position of the black pixel cluster in the second binary image.

  • Patent number: 11935314
    Abstract: In the present disclosure, a candidate area is determined based on a pixel having a specific color included in an input image, and an area is determined to be a processing target from the candidate area based on a pixel having a predetermined color different from the specific color included in the candidate area. Further, a second binary image in which a pixel corresponding to the pixel having the specific color is converted into a white pixel is generated by converting, in a first binary image obtained by the input image being binarized, a pixel that is included in the area determined to be the processing target and corresponds to the pixel having the specific color, into a white pixel.

  • Publication number: 20220343666
    Abstract: To make it possible to extract character information with a high accuracy even from a document image obtained by reading a document in which a logo mark or the like overlaps a character portion. By performing binarization processing for a document image obtained by reading a document, a binary image including first pixels representing a color darker than a reference and second pixels representing a color paler than the reference is generated. Then, by changing the pixel among the first pixels included in the generated binary image, whose corresponding pixel's color in the document image is different from a color of a character object within the document, to the second pixel, a binary image in which a background object that overlaps the character object in the document image is removed is generated.

  • Patent number: 11052609
    Abstract: A molding system to manufacture a three-dimensional object corresponding to a three-dimensional model. The molding apparatus includes a slice data generation unit to generate slice data from three-dimensional shape data of the three-dimensional model, and a lamination unit to laminate a layer of a molding material on the basis of the slice data. The slice data generation unit analyzes data, and, if a region in which a layer of a second molding material different from a first molding material is to be laminated on a layer of the first molding material and in which it is difficult to laminate the layers is extracted, modifies the data of a region of at least one of an ith layer and an (i+1)th layer to data in which a portion in which the first molding material is disposed and a portion in which the second molding material is disposed.
