  • Patent number: 11412107
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus performs predetermined image processing for read data obtained by reading an image on a document by first and second reading sensors arranged so as to have an overlapping area. The predetermined image processing includes color correction processing of converting color signals detected by light receiving elements of the reading sensors into color signals with respect to each of pixels forming read data. Color correction processing for first read data obtained from light receiving elements of the first reading sensor not included in the overlapping area and color correction processing for second read data obtained from light receiving elements of the second reading sensor not included in the overlapping area are performed in accordance with different correction characteristics. By doing this, an image in which image unevenness caused by individual differences of the short reading sensors is reduced can be output.

  • Patent number: 10872279
    Abstract: A width in a first direction of a line in image data corresponding to an image to be printed by a printing apparatus is corrected, based on information on a print result of line-width detection images printed based on line-width detection image data in a raster format that is generated by performing rasterization processing on line-width detection image data in a vector format. In the line-width detection image data in the vector format, a distance between centers of the widths in the first direction of two lines adjacent in the first direction in each line-width detection image is an integral multiple of a rasterization resolution in the rasterization processing.

  • Patent number: 10389910
    Abstract: The present invention provides an image processing apparatus which employs a dither method capable of printing a thin line of desired density without any break irrespective of printing conditions. The first threshold changing unit changes part of threshold values in a threshold matrix to generate a first threshold matrix so as to increase the number of dots to be printed in a specific pixel area. The second threshold changing unit changes part of threshold values in the threshold matrix to generate a second threshold matrix such that the number of dots to be printed in a specific pixel area is smaller than the case of changing a threshold value by the first threshold changing unit. A determining unit determines whether a threshold value in the threshold matrix is to be changed by the first threshold changing unit or by the second threshold changing unit.
