An image forming apparatus comprises a reading unit that reads a document sheet, specifies image data of a comparison source document sheet, among image data of document sheets read by the reading unit; extracts a difference by comparing the image data of the specified comparison source document sheet, and image data of each of other document sheets included in the read document sheets; and creates a composite image by composing the extracted difference and the image data of the comparison source document sheet.

In some examples, a system detects a highlighted area in an image content, the highlighted area including a portion of the image content, and a highlighting mark that highlights the portion of the image content. The system applies a color adjustment process in the highlighted area, wherein the color adjustment process comprises adjusting a color of the highlighted area comprising the portion of the image content highlighted by the highlighting mark, and wherein the adjusting of the color of the highlighted area comprises adjusting color values of plural color components in a first color space.

A matrix barcode on a surface may comprise a plurality of colors and an infrared layer. The matrix barcode may be a fiducial marker for conveying spatial information. The conveyed spatial information may stem at least in part from the infrared layer.

An image processing apparatus (100) includes a determination unit configured to determine, on the basis of color information of a detected writing target, color information of an output image generated from a writing content image that is an image of a writing content written on the writing target.

In some examples, a system detects a highlighted area in an image content. The system applies a color adjustment process in the highlighted area. The color adjustment process is not applied in areas of the image content outside the highlighted area, and the color adjustment process includes an operation of adjusting a color of the highlighted area. The adjusting of the colors of the highlighted area includes adjusting a color value of a specified color space.

An image forming apparatus comprises a reading unit that reads a document sheet, specifies image data of a comparison source document sheet, among image data of document sheets read by the reading unit; extracts a difference by comparing the image data of the specified comparison source document sheet, and image data of each of other document sheets included in the read document sheets; and creates a composite image by composing the extracted difference and the image data of the comparison source document sheet.

An information processing apparatus capable of displaying an image on a predetermined display unit, includes: a reception unit that receives a written input on an image according to an operation of a user in a state where the image is displayed on the display unit; a generation unit that generates a written object according to the written input received by the reception unit; a reference detection unit that detects a reference direction of the image displayed on the display unit; a correction unit that corrects the written object on the basis of the reference direction detected by the reference detection unit; and a display control unit that displays the written object generated by the generation unit.

Certain examples relate to configuring a print processing system to produce rendered color outputs based on desired properties of said outputs using resources available to the print processing system. In these examples, print job data is received comprising image data and print property data. Color mapping data is configured to produce print mapping data based on at least the print property data. Print instructions for an image rendering device are generated based on the print mapping data. The print properties may be selectable by a user. Color mapping data may be characterized by color properties.

An image processing apparatus includes a fluorescence pixel detecting unit, a peripheral pixel analyzing unit, and an image processing unit. The fluorescence pixel detecting unit is configured to detect a fluorescence pixel that has a fluorescent color in a document image. The peripheral pixel analyzing unit is configured to detect consecutive non-fluorescence pixels with no fluorescent colors among peripheral pixels within a predetermined range from the detected fluorescence pixel. The consecutive non-fluorescence pixels is at least a predetermined number of consecutive pixels and has a color difference equal to or less than a predetermined value between one and another of the consecutive non-fluorescence pixels. The image processing unit is configured to perform an emphasizing process of improving visibility for the detected consecutive non-fluorescence pixels.

The present disclosure discloses a multicolor barcode. The multicolor barcode includes a start region (1), a data region (2), and a check region (3). The start region (1), the data region (2), and the check region (3) are arranged in sequence. The start region (1) includes a start color block that indicates a start position of the multicolor barcode, the data region (2) includes a data color block that indicates encoded data of the multicolor barcode, and the check region (3) includes a check color block that indicates an end position of the multicolor barcode. The start color block includes a first color block and a second color block, the first color block is located at the start position, and the second color block is a white color block. The present disclosure further provides a color calibration method for a multicolor barcode, and a computer-readable storage medium.
