Image processing support device, image processing support method, and computer readable medium

An image processing support method comprising:

• by a computer, acquiring, by taking each of a plurality of image processes as a target image process, an engine characteristic indicating a calculation formula to calculate calculation information being at least either of a used memory amount and a processing time in a case in which the target image process is performed with respect to each of one or more engines that can be used in the target image process among one or more engines corresponding to each of a plurality of types of processors, the calculation formula using information on image data being a processing target as an input;
• by the computer, acquiring, by taking each of a plurality of apparatuses as a target apparatus, apparatus characteristic information indicating a correction content for the calculation formula indicated by the engine characteristic with respect to one or more types of processors that are included in the target apparatus among the plurality of types of processors, and
• by the computer, calculating the calculation information in a case in which a designated process being an image process designated among the plurality of image processes is performed by a designated apparatus being an apparatus designated among the plurality of apparatuses, by taking each of one or more engines that can be used in the designated process, and corresponds to a processor included in the designated apparatus as an engine being a calculation target, based on the engine characteristic and the apparatus characteristic information with respect to the engine being the calculation target.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing an image processing support program to cause a computer to function as an image processing support device to perform:

• an engine characteristic acquisition process to acquire, by taking each of a plurality of image processes as a target image process, an engine characteristic indicating a calculation formula to calculate calculation information being at least either of a used memory amount and a processing time in a case in which the target image process is performed with respect to each of one or more engines that can be used in the target image process among one or more engines corresponding to each of a plurality of types of processors, the calculation formula using information on image data being a processing target as an input;
• an apparatus characteristic acquisition process to acquire, by taking each of a plurality of apparatuses as a target apparatus, apparatus characteristic information indicating a correction content for the calculation formula indicated by the engine characteristic with respect to one or more types of processors that are included in the target apparatus among the plurality of types of processors, and
• a calculation process to calculate the calculation information in a case in which a designated process being an image process designated among the plurality of image processes is performed by a designated apparatus being an apparatus designated among the plurality of apparatuses, by taking each of one or more engines that can be used in the designated process, and corresponds to a processor included in the designated apparatus as an engine being a calculation target, based on the engine characteristic and the apparatus characteristic information with respect to the engine being the calculation target.
