An image processing apparatus that can suppress a tint phenomenon in image recovery processing and a method of controlling the same are disclosed. A saturation determination unit determines whether or not a saturated pixel is included in a reference region referred to by filter processing units. An R component output adjustment unit and a B component output adjustment unit adjust corresponding color components resulting from image recovery processing according to the determination result obtained by the saturation determination unit.

Arrangements described herein relate to systems, apparatuses, and methods for a headset system that includes a transducer, a camera configured to capture image data of a subject, and a controller configured to detect one or more fiducial markers placed on the subject using the captured image data, and register the transducer with respect to the subject based on the detected fiducial markers.

Apparatus, systems, and methods to generate an edge aware brush for navigation and segmentation of images via a user interface are disclosed. An example processor is to at least: construct a brush for segmentation of image data; provide an interactive representation of the brush with respect to the image data via a user interface, the interactive representation to be displayed and made available for interaction in each of a plurality of viewports provided for display of views of the image data in the user interface; enable update of the viewports based on manipulation of the representation; facilitate display of a preview of a segmentation of the image data corresponding to a location of the representation; and, when the segmentation is confirmed, facilitate generation of an output based on the segmentation.

Provided is an image reading apparatus, including: a reader comprising a light source upstream of an image reading position and a light source downstream of the image reading position in a moving direction, each light sources sequentially irradiating an original with light of different colors, the reader reading an original image at the image reading position while moving each light sources relatively to the original in the moving direction; a controller controlling the reading of the original image by the reader by setting a light amount ratio of the light source arranged on the upstream side to the light source arranged on the downstream side for a particular color of the different colors to be different from a light amount ratio for another color; and a detector detecting an image pattern of the particular color depending on the light amount ratio from the original image read by the reader.

Provided is an image reading apparatus including: a line sensor including three light receiving element arrays arranged at a predetermined interval in a sub-scanning direction, and being configured to read an image of an original by the respective light receiving element arrays to generate read data representing the read image, the three light receiving element arrays each including light receiving elements for receiving red light, blue light and green light. These elements are arranged in a main scanning direction; and a reading control board. The reading control board is configured to acquire the read data obtained by the respective light receiving element arrays from the line sensor, to sort a plurality of pieces of read data for every pixel of the same color, and to detect an abnormal pixel that does not exist in the image of the original for each color.

Methods are provided for printing a three-dimensional structural component onto a base. For example, a method of printing is provided, including receiving a set of predetermined thicknesses for the three-dimensional structural component. The set of predetermined thicknesses has a first thickness and a second thickness. The first thickness is greater than the second thickness. The method further includes instructing a printing device to print a single layer for the three-dimensional structural component using the set of predetermined thicknesses. The method further includes printing a first portion of the single layer onto the base so that the first portion has the first thickness. The method further includes printing a second portion of the single layer onto the base so that the second portion has the second thickness.

An image processing device configured to convert image data of a first resolution into image data of a second resolution higher than the first resolution includes at least one memory, and at least one processor in communication with the at least one memory and configured to cooperate with the at least one memory to calculate a direction and an intensity of an edge from the image data of the first resolution, and determine a pattern for the image data of the second resolution to be replaced by pixels of the image data of the first resolution, based on the direction and the intensity of the edge.

A printing apparatus includes: a head which discharges liquid to a medium; and a controller. The controller obtains print data for forming an image on the medium with a dot formed by making the liquid to land on the medium, the image including a code having information; selects, in the obtained print data, dot data corresponding to the dot forming the image as selected data, determines whether a first dot pattern including the selected dot data matches a predetermined delete pattern, and determines whether a second dot pattern including the selected dot data matches a predetermined exclusion pattern; performs a correction of the print data based on results of the determinations; and discharges the liquid from the head to the medium, based on the print data after the correction, to form the image on the medium.

Systems and apparatuses for applying coating to nails are disclosed. In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include a method, which may be implemented on a system, to performing image processing on an image of the nail to locate a boundary of the nail. The method can further include determining a path along which to move the nail relative to an applicator, the applicator being used to coat the nail. In a further embodiment, using the located boundary of the nail, a dispensing procedure for the applicator to follow to coat the nail is determined.

Sharpness of image data in a low-frequency component, which is deceased by an image forming apparatus, is recovered and the recovered image data is converted into halftone image data. Halftone processing includes calculating edge intensity in a local region, dividing the local region into a first pixel group and a second pixel group based on a pixel value of each pixel, determining a distribution order of dots based on a pixel value of each pixel, a threshold value, and the edge intensity such that dots are likely to be distributed to the first pixel group and dots are unlikely to be distributed to the second pixel group, and determining an output value for each pixel in the local region by distributing dots to some pixels included in the local region as much as a number of dots to be output to the local region while referring to the distribution order.
