IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM

摘要

A unit acquires first image data expressing a color of an image and second image data expressing a feature of the image. A unit color-separates the first image data into first and second color material amount data. A unit generates inverted data by inverting the second image data. A unit generates first corrected data from the first color material amount data and the inverted data and generates second corrected data from the second color material amount data and the second image data. A unit generates, based on the first corrected data, first data indicating on dot printing positions during a printing and scanning operation, generates, based on the second corrected data, second data indicating on dot printing positions in the operation, and generates, based on the first and second data, image forming data.

主权项

1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
an acquisition unit configured to acquire first image data expressing a color of an image to be formed and second image data expressing a feature of the image; a color separation unit configured to color-separate the first image data into first color material amount data and second color material amount data; a first generation unit configured to generate inverted data acquired by inverting the second image data; a first correction unit configured to generate first corrected color material amount data from the first color material amount data and the inverted data and generate second corrected color material amount data from the second color material amount data and the second image data; and a second generation unit configured to generate, based on the first corrected color material amount data, first data indicating on dot printing positions during a printing and scanning operation of an image forming apparatus, generate, based on the second corrected color material amount data, second data indicating on dot printing positions in the printing and scanning operation, and generate, based on the first data and the second data, image forming data to be output to the image forming apparatus.
