  • Patent number: 7881526
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus performs color conversion processing on an input image. The image processing apparatus includes a block pallet conversion unit, a first color converting unit and a restoration unit. The block pallet conversion unit converts the input image in units of blocks into (i) pallet color information including pallet colors number of which is less than pixels included in one of the blocks and (ii) selection information used to select one of the pallet colors for each pixel. The first color converting unit performs color conversion on the pallet color information obtained by the block pallet conversion unit. The restoration unit selects for each pixel, based on the selection information, one of the pallet colors of the pallet color information, which is color-converted by the first color converting unit, to restores an image.

  • Patent number: 7710619
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus performs color conversion processing on an input image based on an attribute of the input image, such as if the image is text or a drawing. An image is reduced, and the color conversion is performed. The color converted image is then enlarged. The image is then output by a computer or stored.

  • Publication number: 20080050016
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes: an image decomposition unit that decomposes an input image into component images constituting the input image; a confidentiality setting unit that sets a confidentiality being a degree of security of each of the component images into which the input image is decomposed by the image decomposition unit; and a storage unit that stores each of the component images by associating the confidentiality therewith, the confidentiality being set by the confidentiality setting unit.

  • Publication number: 20080044086
    Abstract: An image processing system includes an area extracting unit, an area relation extracting unit, a relation analyzing unit and an image display unit. The area extracting unit extracts areas from an input image. The area relation extracting unit extracts a relation between the areas extracted by the area extracting unit. The relation analyzing unit analyzes the relation between the areas extracted by the area relation extracting unit. The image display unit displays the image in accordance with an analysis result by the relation analyzing unit.
