Patent number: 10997749Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2018Date of Patent: May 4, 2021Assignee: FUJI XEROX CO., LTD.Inventors: Masashi Morimoto, Toshihiro Iwafuchi, Noriko Sakai, Chizuru Ohsawa

Patent number: 9262841Abstract: In one embodiment, pixels that cannot change their color due to the alpha blend mode and the color already stored in a render target are detected. For example, if destination alpha blending is used and a target pixel has an alpha value of 1.0, it will not change color regardless of the computed color of subsequently composited objects. Both computing the object colors and accessing the frame buffer can be avoided when such a case is detected. This may save computations and bandwidth in some embodiments.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2013Date of Patent: February 16, 2016Assignee: Intel CorporationInventor: Robert M. Toth

Patent number: 7068285Abstract: A system and method for converting color images divides a first image into first RGB values per pixel, determines which of the RGB colors in the first image has a greater specific gravity, converts the first RGB values into second RGB color values based on the color with the greater specific gravity, and forms a second image based on the second RGB values. The color value conversion involves allocating a first number of bits to represent the second RGB value corresponding to the color having the predetermined specific gravity and a second number of bits to represent the RGB values corresponding to remaining ones of the colors. The first and second numbers of bits are different and preferably the first number is greater than the second number. Through this system and method, an M-bit color image may be converted into an N-bit color image with greater color accuracy than other methods which have been proposed.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2003Date of Patent: June 27, 2006Assignee: LG Electronics Inc.Inventor: Kyoung-Ju Lee

Patent number: 6320592Abstract: Raw image data is separated from color image data such that image data can be operated on independent of a color model. Alternatively, image data can be associated with a color model and image processing operations can operate on the image data in terms of the color model. No color model is presupposed for a given image. When an image processing operation uses a color system, a color system can be selected in which the operation is performed and the source image will be converted. Different color systems can be associated with the same image data to process the image. Where it is not necessary to perform an image processing operation in a color system, the operation can access the image data independent of a color system. In an embodiment of the invention, a Tile object class is comprised of an array of Channel objects. A Channel object is associated with one or more storage bands of image data.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 1997Date of Patent: November 20, 2001Assignee: Sun Microsystems, Inc.Inventors: Jerald Evans, James Graham, Jeannette Hung
