Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit and a generation unit to generate image data representing an image containing luminous points caused by light reflection on a plurality of flakes contained in a coating material in a case of coating an object with the coating material. The acquisition unit acquires information about the coating material. The generation unit generates the image data representing the image containing the luminous points based on the information about the coating material.
Claims20
An image processing apparatus configured to generate image data representing an image for simulating appearance of an object coated with a coating material containing a plurality of flakes, the image processing apparatus comprising:
- an acquisition unit configured to acquire information about the coating material;
- and
- a generation unit configured generate based on the information about the coating material, the image data representing the image containing a texture of sparkle for expressing a reflection characteristic of the object according to reflections of light on the plurality of flakes.
A method for an image processing apparatus configured to generate image data representing an image for simulating appearance of an object coated with a coating material containing a plurality of flakes, the method comprising:
- acquiring information about the coating material;
- and
- generating, based on the information about the coating material, the image data representing the image containing a texture of sparkle for expressing a reflection characteristic of the object according to reflections of light on the plurality of flakes.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method for an image processing apparatus configured to generate image data representing an image for simulating appearance of an object coated with a coating material containing a plurality of flakes, the method comprising:
