US 2004/0175033 A1 · Image processing system

Abstract

An image processing system includes a reference exposure section, a developing section, a film scanner, and an image processing apparatus. The reference exposure part carries out reference exposure by R light, G light, B light and gray light, by using an unexposed area of a photographic film as a reference exposure area, in order to form image information to be used for determining image processing conditions. The film scanner reads the reference exposure area developed by the developing section. A control section of the image processing apparatus calculates the image processing conditions, such as color correction conditions, from read data of the reference exposure area. An image processing section carries out image processing of frame images recorded on the photographic film, according to calculated image processing conditions.

Claims21

Dependent claims

An image processing system for carrying out image processing on an image recorded on a color photographic photosensitive material which has at least three types of photographic photosensitive layers containing blue-light-photosensitive, green-light-photosensitive, and red-light-photosensitive silver halide emulsions on a light transmissible supporting member, and which is processed such that a silver image is generated in the photographic photosensitive layers after exposure of an image, said image processing system comprising:

a light source for irradiating a light to a front side and a back side of the color photographic photosensitive material;
a reading sensor for reading image information by light reflected from the front side and the back side of the color photographic photosensitive material, and light transmitted through the color photographic photosensitive material;
an exposing device for exposing a predetermined unexposed area of the color photographic photosensitive material by each blue, green, and red light;
a calculating device for determining correction conditions for correcting image information of each color on the basis of the lights reflected from the front side and an back side of the color photographic photosensitive material in an area exposed by each color and the light transmitted through the color photographic photosensitive material;
and
a correcting device for correcting a read image in accordance with the correction conditions.

An image processing system for carrying out image processing on an image recorded on a color photographic photosensitive material which has at least three types of photographic photosensitive layers containing blue photosensitive, green photosensitive, and red photosensitive silver halide emulsions on a light transmissible supporting member, and which is processed such that an image including a silver image and a dye image is generated in the photographic photosensitive layers after exposure of an image, said image processing system comprising:

a first light source for irradiating infrared light onto the color photographic photosensitive material such that the infrared light is transmitted through the photographic photosensitive layer of an intermediate layer;
a second light source for irradiating, onto the color photographic photosensitive layer, complementary color light of a color complementary to the dye contained in the image in the photographic photosensitive layer of the intermediate layer, such that the complementary color light is transmitted through the intermediate layer;
a reading sensor for reading first transmitted image information based on the infrared light transmitted through the color photographic photosensitive material, as well as second transmitted image information based on the complementary color light transmitted through the color photographic photosensitive material;
and
a calculating device for obtaining image information of the intermediate layer by calculation using the second transmitted image information and the first transmitted image information.
