  • Information processing device, method of processing information, and computer-readable recording medium for extracting a contour of an object
    Patent number: 9177232
    Abstract: An information processing device includes a receiving unit, a processing range determination unit, and a contour extraction unit. The receiving unit receives specified position information that indicates a position specified by a user with respect to a target image. The processing range determination unit determines, when a distance between a start point position that indicates a start point of positions indicated by the specified position information, and a position indicated by the latest specified position information is a threshold or less, a closed area obtained based on a history of the received specified position information as a processing range. The contour extraction unit extracts a contour of an object in the processing range.

  • Information processing device and method extracting a contour from image of combined pixel data object and vector data object
    Patent number: 9122980
    Abstract: An information processing device includes an identifying unit, a generation unit, and a contour extraction unit. The identifying unit identifies a first object expressed by pixel data and a second object expressed by vector data from target image data including drawing information for each object. The generation unit performs rasterization based on first drawing information indicating the drawing information of the first object and second drawing information indicating the drawing information of the second object to generate combined image data, into which the first object and the second object are combined. The contour extraction unit extracts a contour from the combined image data.

  • Information processing device, method, and program product generating a third object having higher display priority than a same shaped first object and lower display priority than a second object
    Patent number: 9111205
    Abstract: An information processing device includes a receiving unit, a first identifying unit, and a generation unit. The receiving unit receives specified position information indicating a position specified by a user with respect to an image indicated by target image data including drawing information of each object. The first identifying unit identifies a first object indicating an object including the position indicated by the specified position information. The generation unit generates a third object indicating an object having lower priority of display than a second object indicating higher priority of display than the first object, and having higher priority of display than the first object, and an object having the same shape as the first object.
