Abstract:
A terminal device having a correction function for natural color and a method thereof are provided for creating an image closest in color to the natural color. A priority storing unit stores at a reference color data area a range of natural colors which are colors of objects existing in the natural world. A color editing unit corrects natural color image data corresponding to the natural color area, based on a command for correcting the natural area existing in a predetermined image from the user. A controlling unit decides whether the natural color image data corrected by the color editing unit is included in the reference color data area.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus and an image quality calibration method in the image forming apparatus, the image forming apparatus including a printing unit to print a calibration chart in one mode selected from a plurality of resolution modes, a scanning unit to scan the printed calibration chart, and a calibrating unit to calibrate an image using color values of the scanned calibration chart according to the plurality of resolution modes.
Abstract:
A scanning apparatus includes a lookup table generating unit to generate a multidimensional lookup table to convert input signals into standard signals, a minimum value computing unit to scan a white reference and compute minimum RGB values therefrom, a calibration region determining unit to establish a minimum size region in the lookup table that contains a background (BG) point where the computed minimum RGB values coincide, and a white point of the lookup table, and a calibrating unit to calibrate data values only in the established region to white values. Optimum color representation is provided, because only the white region is established and calibrated without influencing other color regions.
Abstract:
An image forming device includes a scanning unit to scan a document, a user interface unit to set a region to be enlarged among a whole region of the document and a size of an enlarged region, and a scanning processing unit to enlarge a first image that belongs to the region to be enlarged in accordance with the size of the enlarged region, to reduce a second image that belongs to the remaining region of the document, and to generate scanning data that includes the enlarged first image and the reduced second image.
Abstract:
An image compensating apparatus includes an input unit to receive input of an photo image, a Gaussian filtering unit to perform Gaussian filtering on the photo image, a division-map generating unit to convert the photo image on which the Gaussian filtering is performed into a color space including a plurality of color components and then generating a chromaticity division-map based on a color coordinate value in the color space, a calculating unit to calculate average chromaticity of each respective region by using the chromaticity division-map, and a compensating unit to compensate chromaticity of each respective region of the photo image by using the average chromaticity of each respective region. Accordingly, a faded image input to the input unit may effectively be compensated.

Abstract:
A present color compensating method includes receiving selection of an input ICC profile and an output ICC profile, receiving selection of a plurality of color rendering intents to be applied to an ICC profile, generating a color conversion table using the selected input ICC profile, the selected output profile, and the selected plurality of color rendering intents, and generating print data using the generated color conversion table.
Abstract:
Apparatus and method for creating a preview image of an object is provided. The apparatus includes an object type detecting unit for detecting an object to be previewed for determining whether the type of the object is text, graphics, and image, a color matching unit for converting a color signal of the detected object into an image forming color signal by using a color profile corresponding to the detected object according to the detection result of the object type detecting unit, and a preview image creating unit for creating and displaying a preview image for the object converted into the image forming color signal. Therefore, because the preview image is displayed on a monitor according to the type of object (text, graphics, or image), a user can predict the image forming result more accurately. Further, because the colors of objects can be adjusted, a printout with desired color characteristics can be obtained.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a color management method, an apparatus thereof and a color management computer program for executing the method that enable a user to conveniently and easily select and/or change colors desired by the user in diverse ways. The color management method includes displaying a color scheme list that is a list of color schemes for providing a standard for converting the colors that constitute an image, and if a selection manipulation of one among the color schemes that constitute the displayed color scheme list is input, storing the color scheme selected by the selection manipulation.
Abstract:
