An image processing apparatus includes a processor configured to position a content image based on content data in a first area of a recording medium, and position a partial target image contained in the content image in a second area of the recording medium different from the first area.

An object is to provide a copy function that guarantees intensity of embedded information. At the time of copying a printed material, embedded information is extracted from a scanned image obtained by scanning the target printed material. Then, in a case where it is confirmed that the copy-target printed material is an authentic document by the extracted embedded information, the embedded information extracted from the scanned image is reconfigured and printed and output.

A material data collection system allows capturing of material data. For example, the material data collection system may include digital image data for materials. The material data collection system may ensure that captured digital image data is properly aligned, so that material data may be easily recalled for later use, while maintaining the proper alignment for the captured digital image. The material data collection system may include using a capture guide, to provide cues on how to orient a mobile device used with the material data collection system.

An image processing system which can decide an image processing target region considering a decrease in image quality is provided. The image processing system includes an image acquisition unit that acquires an image obtained by capturing a subject, an image quality determination information acquisition unit that acquires image quality determination information representing a determination result of an image quality in the image, an image processing target region decision unit that decides an image processing target region in the image using the image quality determination information, and an image processing unit that executes at least one of a detection process or a composition process for the image processing target region. A region represented as a logical product of two or more temporary image processing target regions respectively corresponding to two or more pieces of the image quality determination information is decided as the image processing target region.

An image shifter creates plural pairs of shift image data. A shading corrector and a halftone dot processor create halftone shift image data from shift images. Further, a difference image creator creates halftone common image data which is a common part of a pair of halftone shift image data, and creates halftone positive difference image data and halftone negative difference image data each of which is a difference between the halftone common image data and one of a pair of halftone shift image data. A composite image creator synthesizes the halftone common image data corresponding to an amount of positional deviation, and the halftone positive difference image data or halftone negative difference image data. A controller executes printing on web paper. Since the image data is only synthesized, processing load can be lightened even if printing is performed to restrain positional deviations.

Privacy-preserving reconstruction for compressed sensing is described. An example of a method includes capturing raw image data for a scene with a compressed sensing image sensor; performing reconstruction of the raw image data, including performing an enhancement reconstruction of the raw image data; and generating a masked image from the reconstruction of the raw image data, wherein the enhancement reconstruction includes applying enhancement utilizing a neural network trained with examples including image data in which private content is masked.

A position in a second page spread corresponding to a position in which an object is placed in a first page spread is used as a paste candidate position, and whether the paste candidate position is in a placement possible area is determined. In a case where the paste candidate position is determined as being in the placement possible area, the object is pasted in the paste candidate position, and in a case where the paste candidate position is determined as not being in the placement possible area, the object is pasted in a position different from the paste candidate position in the second page spread.

The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for utilizing intelligent sectioning and selective document reflow for section-based printing. For example, the disclosed systems can intelligently identify document objects (e.g., document structures and sections) within a digital document by utilizing a machine-learning model. In so doing, the disclosed systems can identify document-object types and document-object locations for the document objects in the digital document. In turn, the disclosed systems can provide, for display within a dynamic printing interface, selectable document sections comprising the identified document objects. In response to a user selection of one or more of the selectable document sections, the disclosed system can generate a modified digital document for printing by reflowing the identified document objects in accordance with the user selection. In some cases, reflowing comprises removing unselected document objects and/or repositioning one or more of the selected document objects.

A method for reducing image burn-in artifacts in an electrophotographic printing system, includes receiving a print job including image data for a set of pages to be printed. The pages are analyzed to determine that the image data for a sequence of pages in the print job are similar. The similar pages are printed using a pattern of lateral translations wherein the image data is laterally translated such that it is printed at a different lateral position on the printed page. The similar pages can also be printed using a pattern of page orientations including a first page orientation and a second page orientation, wherein the image data for the second page orientation is rotated 180 degrees relative to the image data for the first page orientation.
