Abstract
An image processor includes an automatic color determining unit that determines whether an input image signal including a plurality of color signals indicates a color image or a monochrome image, an operation panel for accepting selection of a color processing mode for applying color image processing and a monochrome processing mode for applying monochrome image processing, a filtering processor that applies image processing of at least one of the color processing and the monochrome processing, and an output controller. Even when the monochrome processing mode is accepted, the image processor applies monochrome image processing based on a determination result of the automatic color determining unit.
Claims19
An image processor comprising:
- a determining unit that determines whether an input image signal including a plurality of color signals indicates either one of a color image and a monochrome image;
- a processing mode selecting unit that accepts selection of a color processing mode for applying color image processing and a monochrome processing mode for applying monochrome image processing;
- and
- an image processing unit that applies image processing of any one of color processing and monochrome processing to the input image signal,
- wherein when the processing mode selecting unit accepts selection of the monochrome processing mode, the image processing unit applies monochrome image processing to the input image signal based on the determination result by the determining unit.
An image processor comprising:
- a determining unit that determines whether an input image signal including a plurality of color signals indicates either one of a color image and a monochrome image;
- a processing mode selecting unit that accepts selection of a color processing mode for applying color image processing and a monochrome processing mode for applying monochrome image processing;
- and
- an image processing unit that applies image processing of either one of color processing and monochrome processing to the input image signal,
- wherein when the processing mode selecting unit accepts selection of the color processing mode, the image processing unit applies color image processing to the input image signal based on the determination result by the determining unit.
An image processing method comprising:
- determining whether an input image signal including a plurality of color signals indicates either one of a color image and a monochrome image;
- selecting either one of a color processing mode for applying color image processing and a monochrome processing mode for applying monochrome image processing;
- and
- image processing either one of color processing and monochrome processing to the input image signal,
- wherein when selection of the monochrome processing mode is accepted, monochrome image processing is applied to the input image signal based on a result of the determination.
