In some examples, a device includes a printing device to generate an image on a substrate from a digital image, and a processor to: receive a scanned image of the image on the substrate, identify a plurality of image portions of the scanned image, identify horizontal color changes across a horizontal portion of the plurality of image portions, identify vertical color changes across a vertical portion of the plurality of image portions, compare the horizontal color changes and vertical color changes to corresponding horizontal color changes and corresponding vertical color changes of the digital image, and measure a presence of color plane misregistration, and the color, direction and magnitude of misregistration based on the comparison.

A gain modification device (20) includes a plurality of gain modification units (31) whose number of units corresponds to a number of kinds of a plurality of signals input to the plurality of gain modification units, each one of the plurality of gain modification units (31) being configured to modify a gain value used to amplify the plurality of signals, and a plurality of gain reflection control units (44) configured to change a timing at which the gain value is to be switched by the plurality of gain modification units (31) such that the gain value of one of the plurality of signals affecting a signal level of another one of the plurality of signals is switched at a timing different from a timing at which the gain value of the another one of the plurality of signals is switched.

An image capturing unit captures an image including an embedded image that is printed on the basis of image data in which at least a color component has been modulated according to additional information. An adjustment unit adjusts a white balance of the image captured by the image capturing unit on the basis of an adjustment value associated with the embedded image. A processing unit processes image data of the image captured by the image capturing unit whose white balance has been adjusted by the adjustment unit to read the additional information in the image captured by the image capturing unit.

Disclosed is a non-transitory computer readable storage medium, a computer-implemented method and an imaging color profile of an imaging apparatus. A processor retrieves the color profile of the imaging apparatus from data storage, the color profile comprising a first plurality of associations between a first plurality of color values in a first color space and a second plurality of color values in a second color space. The processor receives input data indicating a determined association, the determined association being an association between a first determined color value in the first color space and a second determined color value in the second color space. The processor performs an update process to update the first plurality of associations, the update process comprising performing an interpolation process using the determined association and an association of the first plurality of associations.

An apparatus for processing an image, includes circuitry configured to: input a first image indicating a target color; input a second image formed by an image forming device to be subjected to adjustment; determine types of objects; and compare the first image and the second image and generate, for each of the types of the objects, a color conversion parameter, based on a correspondence between a chromaticity value in the first image and a chromaticity value in the second image.

An information processing apparatus, accessible to a color expert who manages colors of an image to be printed in a plurality of printing devices and a plurality of operators each of whom is capable of operating at least the one printing device out of the plurality of printing device, registers a patch image to be printed by any of the plurality of printing devices and/or a color management setting information piece defining a condition for printing by the printing device in accordance with an instruction provided by the color expert, sets the patch image and/or the color management setting information piece accessible to the one or more operators, and in response to a request from any of the plurality of operators, permits access to the patch image and/or the color management setting information piece set accessible to the operator who has made the request.

A system for rendering color images on an electro-optic display when the electro-optic display has a color gamut with a limited palette of primary colors, and/or the gamut is poorly structured (i.e., not a spheroid or obloid). The system uses an iterative process to identify the best color for a given pixel from a palette that is modified to diffuse the color error over the entire electro-optic display. The system additionally accounts for variations in color that are caused by cross-talk between nearby pixels.

An image processing device disclosed in the present specification includes a display control unit configured to display, on a display unit, an image obtained by visualizing functional information related to optical characteristics of a subject based on a photoacoustic signal obtained by receiving a photoacoustic wave generated in the subject by irradiating the subject with light, and a correction unit configured to correct the functional information of the image displayed on the display unit based on a first image value of the functional information of the image displayed on the display unit and a second image value of the functional information.

A method of operating a printer separates the image data content of a sheet in a print job into multiple color separations. The first color separation printed on the sheet includes at least two fiducials printed in the least perceptible color of ink in the printer. The at least two fiducials are used to identify the process direction and skew of the printed sheet before the remaining color separations are printed on the sheet with the first color separation.
