  • Patent number: 11627237
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to, in accordance with a proportion of a black component with which to replace one or more non-black components that are color components other than the black component, replace the one or more non-black components with the black component for an image. The proportion of the black component is determined by brightness of the image, and when saturation of the image varies in a saturation range, the proportion decreases to a minimum value of the proportion with increasing saturation of the image and increases with increasing saturation of the image after the proportion decreases to the minimum value of the proportion.

  • Patent number: 10997749
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a unit that obtains one or more pairs, each of which is constituted by images before and after correction, a unit that obtains changes in color, caused by the correction, of points in an image for the one or more pairs, a unit that obtains a distribution of the changes for the obtained pairs, and an extracting unit. When an interval having a frequency equal to or larger than a threshold determined for each interval exists at a distance of a tolerance width or more from an interval having a maximum frequency in the distribution, the extracting unit extracts, as learning data to learn a color change caused by the correction, the changes that are included in the interval having the maximum frequency but are not included in the interval having a frequency equal to or larger than the threshold determined for each interval.

  • Patent number: 10602026
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a specifying unit, an extraction unit, and a creation unit. The specifying unit specifies, for one image among a first image before color conversion and a second image after color conversion, an area for which image information is extracted. The extraction unit extracts plural pieces of color conversion information, which are image information about pixels in the area of the one image among the first image and the second image, the area being specified by the specifying unit, and image information about pixels in the other image corresponding to the pixels in the one image. The creation unit creates a color conversion property on the basis of the plural pieces of color conversion information extracted by the extraction unit.
