A printing apparatus that is capable of executing, based on printing data, printing onto a first side of a printing medium and printing onto a second side, which is the back side of the first side, after the printing onto the first side is provided. A print density of a predetermined region at a rear end of the printing medium in a transporting direction at a time of printing of the first side is identified based on the printing data. Conversion data, which is a conversion coefficient to make the identified print density equal to or lower than a predetermined density, is acquired. The printing data is converted by means of the conversion data. Printing onto the first side is executed based on the converted printing data.

An image processing apparatus includes a controller configured to perform: setting characteristic information including first characteristic information and second characteristic information; and converting a target image data using the characteristic information. The first and second characteristic information correlate input values with output values in a specific color space. The input values includes a specific input value within a specific range. The specific input value is correlated with a first specific output value by the first characteristic information, and is correlated with a second specific output value by the second characteristic information. The first specific output value indicates that a colorant consumption quantity for the specific input value is changed from an original colorant consumption quantity by a first colorant quantity. The second specific output value indicates that the colorant consumption quantity is changed from the original colorant consumption quantity by a second colorant quantity different from the first colorant quantity.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium stores computer-readable instructions. The instructions, when executed by a processor of an image processing apparatus, perform processes. The processes include registering, in a storage, a candidate color for each of a plurality of divided areas included in image data indicating an image on a sheet. The processes further include identifying, from among a plurality of pixels included in the image data, a target pixel based on a color value of the target pixel. The processes further include replacing the color value of the identified target pixel with a target color when a condition based on the color value of the identified target pixel and a color value of the target color is satisfied.

A number of illustrative variations may include a method of producing augmented reality experience.

An image processing apparatus includes a controller configured to execute: acquiring objective image data representing an objective image which includes a first character and a second character; analyzing first partial image data and specifying the first character in an image represented by the first partial image data; and generating processed image data representing a processed image which includes the first character and the second character by using the objective image data. The objective image data includes the first partial image data in a bitmap format which represents the image including the first character and second partial image data in a vector format which represents an image including the second character. The processed image data includes: first processed data representing an image including the first character; and second processed data representing an image including the second character.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for generating, based on a portrait image, a foreground image mask to indicate foreground pixels of the portrait image; identifying a percentage of white or near white pixels in the foreground by using the foreground image mask and pixel colors in the portrait image; determining whether the percentage of white or near white pixels in the foreground is larger than a predefined threshold; in response to determining, triggering identification of edge pixels in a background of the portrait image; adjusting white background pixels to add shadows by darkening the white background pixels; and adjusting the white or near white pixels in the foreground by darkening the white or near white pixels.

An image processing apparatus includes a color separation unit separating image data into a luminance component and a color component; a processing unit generating second image data of the luminance component by manipulating pixel values of multi-resolution image data generated from first image data of the luminance component and reconstructing the manipulated multi-resolution image data; and a composition unit compositing the second image data of the luminance component with image data of the color component. Further, the processing unit generates the second image data of the luminance component based on pixel values which are adjusted by using parameters in accordance with pixel values of the image data of the color component.

An image processing device is provided that enables an operator to reduce time and effort, and that enables an image to be read stably without receiving the influence of a shadow generated after calibration. The image processing device includes: a tint component removing unit that removes a tint component from a captured image; a character information removing unit that removes character information from an image obtained by removing the tint component; a dividing unit that performs grouping on the captured image according to a combination of hue and saturation; a calculating unit that calculates, for each group, correction data for correcting the shadow in accordance with an image obtained by removing the character information and an image obtained by grouping; and a correcting unit that corrects the captured image in accordance with the calculated correction data.

The invention provides methods for broadcasting video in a dual HDR/LDR format such that the video can be displayed in real time by both LDR and HDR display devices. Methods and devices of the invention process streams of pixels from multiple sensors in a frame-independent manner to produce an HDR video signal in real time. That HDR video signal is then tone-mapped to produce an LDR video signal, the LDR signal is subtracted from the HDR signal to calculate a residual signal, and the LDR signal and the residual signal are merged into a combined signal that is broadcast via a communications network.

An image processing device includes a contrasting correction unit, a color analysis unit, an object detection unit, and an object relation analysis unit. The contrasting correction unit creates a contrasting corrected image by correcting contrasting of an input image captured by a vehicle camera. The color analysis unit creates a color corrected image by correcting colors of the input image. The object detection unit detects a main sign included in the input image based on the contrasting corrected image and detects an auxiliary sign included in the input image based on the color corrected image. The object relation analysis unit recognizes a traffic sign as a combination of a main sign and auxiliary sign by associating the main sign and the auxiliary sign with each other based on a positional relationship between the main and auxiliary signs, which are detected by the object detection unit, in the input image.
