Abstract
An image processing device includes a shielding degree calculation section that calculates a shielding degree of a printed layer, and a rendering section. The rendering section is configured to generate at least one of the front surface view, in which the printed object is observed from the front surface side, and the back surface view, in which the printed object is observed from the back surface side, by mapping an image data, which is color converted, to a 3D object and by performing rendering using the shielding degree of the printed layer.
Claims12
An image processing device comprising:
- an image data acquisition section that acquires image data;
- a printing condition acquisition section that acquires a printing condition including a type of a print medium;
- a color conversion section that performs color conversion on the image data according to the printing condition;
- a shielding degree calculation section that calculates a shielding degree of a printed layer for a printed object, wherein the printed layer is formed on the front surface of the print medium, which is transparent or translucent;
- and
- a rendering section that generates a rendering image, which represents the printed object, by performing rendering on the 3-dimensional object, which represents the shape of the print medium, by mapping the image data on which the color conversion was performed, wherein
- the rendering section generates, by performing the rendering using the shielding degree of the printed layer, at least one of a front surface view of the printed object observed from a front surface side and a back surface view of the printed object observed from a back surface side.
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having stored therein a image processing program, the image processing program causing a computer to perform:
- an image data acquisition function that acquires image data;
- a printing condition acquisition function that acquires a printing condition including a type of a print medium;
- a color conversion function that performs color conversion on the image data according to the printing condition;
- a shielding degree calculation function that calculates a shielding degree of a printed layer, with respect to a printed object in which the printed layer is formed on the front surface of the print medium, which is transparent or translucent;
- and
- a rendering function that generates a rendering image, which represents the printed object, by performing rendering on the 3-dimensional object, which represents the shape of the print medium, by mapping the image data on which the color conversion was performed, wherein
- the rendering function includes a function to generate at least one of a front surface view of the printed object observed from a front surface side and a back surface view of the printed object observed from a back surface side, by performing the rendering using the shielding degree of the printed layer.
