Abstract
A favorable image for which an attribute of each object being taken into consideration is obtained without the need to specify in detail various kinds of image processing to be applied to image data. An image processing apparatus including: an image processing unit configured to perform predetermined image processing on image data; a user interface for a user to set contents of the image processing; and a setting management unit configured to limit a portion of the image data to which the set contents of the image processing are applied in accordance with the contents set via the user interface.
Claims18
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a user interface;
- at least one of (a) a memory storing a program, and one or more processors which executes the program and (b) one or more circuits, wherein the at least one of (a) the memory storing the program, and the one or more processors which executes the program and (b) the one or more circuits causes the image processing apparatus to function as a control unit configured to:
- (1) detect text included in input data;
- (2) display, on the user interface, a plurality of levels lined up in an order to allow a user to select a level from a plurality of levels, wherein each level in a first portion of the plurality of levels is associated with sharpening and each level in a second portion of the plurality of levels is associated with smoothing, wherein the first portion is separate from the second portion;
- and
- (3) sharpen the input data more intensely when a level in the first portion more away from the second portion is selected, and smooth the input data more intensely without smoothing the detected text when a level in the second portion more away from the first portion is selected.
3 more elements
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a setting unit configured to set a level related to sharpness from among multiple levels in a setting range;
- a determining unit configured to determine a text area and an image area in input data;
- and
- an image processing unit configured to sharpen or smooth the input data based on the level set at the setting unit, wherein the sharpening of the determined text area and the determined image area in the input data gets more intense when the set level is in one side of the setting range and gets closer to one end in the one side, and the smoothing of the determined image area in the input data gets more intense without the determined text area being subjected to the smoothing when the set level is in the other side of the setting range and gets closer to the opposite end in the other side.
1 more element
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a user interface;
- and
- at least one of (a) a memory storing a program, and one or more processors which executes the program and (b) one or more circuits, wherein the at least one of (a) the memory storing the program, and the one or more processors which executes the program and (b) the one or more circuits causes the image processing apparatus to function as a control unit configured to:
- (1) display, on the user interface, a plurality of levels lined up in an order to allow a user to select a level from a plurality of levels, wherein each level in a first portion of the plurality of levels is associated with sharpening and each level in a second portion of the plurality of levels is associated with smoothing, wherein the first portion is separate from the second portion;
- and
- (2) cause an image processing unit to sharpen the input data more intensely when a level in the first portion more away from the second portion is selected, and to smooth the input data more intensely without smoothing a text area in the input image when a level in the second portion more away from the first portion is selected.
3 more elements
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a setting unit configured to set a level related to sharpness from among multiple levels in a setting range;
- and
- a causing unit configured to cause an image processing unit to sharpen or smooth the input data based on the level set at the setting unit, wherein the sharpening of a text area and an image area in the input data gets more intense when the set level is in one side of the setting range and gets closer to one end in the one side, and the smoothing of the image area in the input data gets more intense without the text area being subjected to the smoothing when the set level is in the other side of the setting range and gets closer to the opposite end in the other side.
An image processing system comprising:
- a setting unit configured to set a level related to sharpness from among multiple levels in a setting range;
- a determining unit configured to determine a text area and an image area in input data;
- and
- an image processing unit configured to sharpen or smooth the input data based on the level set at the setting unit, wherein the sharpening of the determined text area and the determined image area in the input data gets more intense when the set level is in one side of the setting range and gets closer to one end in the one side, and the smoothing of the determined image area in the input data gets more intense without the determined text area being subjected to the smoothing when the set level is in the other side of the setting range and gets closer to the opposite end in the other side.
1 more element
An image processing method comprising:
- setting a level related to sharpness from among multiple levels in a setting range;
- determining a text area and an image area in input data;
- and
- sharpening or smoothing the input data based on the level set at the setting unit, wherein the sharpening of the determined text area and the determined image area in the input data gets more intense when the set level is in one side of the setting range and gets closer to one end in the one side, and the smoothing of the determined image area in the input data gets more intense without the determined text area being subjected to the smoothing when the set level is in the other side of the setting range and gets closer to the opposite end in the other side.
