  • Patent number: 10565294
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus comprises: a division unit that divides input data on a predetermined basis; a generation unit that generates, from the input data divided by the division unit, intermediate data on the predetermined basis; an updating unit that updates the intermediate data by converting rendering contents of the intermediate data generated by the generation unit into image data; a transfer unit that transfers, each time the generation unit generates the intermediate data, the generated intermediate data to a raster image processing unit; and a determination unit that determines, before the transfer unit transfers first intermediate data generated from the input data, whether to perform updating for each intermediate data corresponding to the input data by the updating unit based on a rendering command of the input data or the first intermediate data.

  • Patent number: 10540793
    Abstract: A method for generating a raster image according to a tile drawing command includes acquiring a tile drawing command for repeatedly rasterizing a specified object, determining whether an interval in which the object is repeated in a predetermined direction based on the acquired tile drawing command is an integer pixel width in a coordinate system of the raster image, generating, based on the acquired tile drawing command, another tile drawing command for repeatedly rasterizing the object in the predetermined direction in an interval of an integer pixel width in the coordinate system, wherein the generated another tile drawing command includes a plurality of pieces of information corresponding to a plurality of scaling factors, scaling, based on the another tile drawing command, the object to repeatedly rasterize the object in the predetermined direction.

  • Patent number: 8855438
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes an intermediate data generation unit configured to generate intermediate data having different attributes by compressing image data of each tile using a lossless compression method or a lossy compression method according to a tile attribute, an intermediate data rendering unit configured to generate raster image data by decompressing the generated intermediate data, and an enlargement unit configured to perform an enlargement process on the image data or the raster image data according to the tile attribute.

  • Patent number: 8654147
    Abstract: An apparatus segments an image region of raster image data. The apparatus converts an image region where same-colored data continues in a range of equal to or greater than a threshold value into solid-colored data. The apparatus switches between compositing processing procedures for each image region.
