Abstract

A color correction data acquiring system includes: an analysis unit that analyzes a data uniform part in an input image; and an area setting unit that sets a patch data acquiring area based on an analysis result of the analysis unit. The color correction data acquiring system acquires color correction data based on a patch data in the patch data acquiring area of the input image and a patch data in the patch data acquiring area of a read image.

Claims (27)

1. A color correction data acquiring system comprising:

an analysis unit that generates a difference image representing a difference between an input image that is to be recorded on a recording medium and a low-frequency image obtained by removing a high-frequency component from the input image in a frequency domain; and

an area setting unit that sets an area where a pixel value difference is equal to or less than a predetermined value in the difference image,

wherein the color correction data acquiring system acquires color correction data based on a pair of the area of difference image and an image portion of a read image corresponding to the area, and

the read image is an electronic image that is generated by reading the recording medium on which the input image is recorded.

2. The color correction data acquiring system according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a color correction data storage unit that stores the acquired color correction data.

3. The color correction data acquiring system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the color correction data includes device-dependent data and device-independent data.

4. The color correction data acquiring system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the color correction data includes data for color calibration.

5. The color correction data acquiring system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the color correction data includes data for color uniformity correction.

6. The color correction data acquiring system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the color correction data includes data for process control.

7. The color correction data acquiring system according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a determination unit that determines whether the color correction data is appropriate or not.

8. A color correction data acquiring method comprising:

generating a difference image representing a difference between an input image that is to be recorded on a recording medium and a low-frequency image obtained by removing a high-frequency component from the input image in a frequency domain;

setting an area where a pixel value difference is equal to or less than a predetermined value in the difference image, and

acquiring color correction data based on a pair of the area of difference image and an image portion of a read image corresponding to the area, and

wherein the read image is an electronic image that is generated by reading the recording medium on which the input image is recorded.

9. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a computer program of instructions executable by a computer to perform a function, the function comprising:

generating a difference image representing a difference between an input image that is to be recorded on a recording medium and a low-frequency image obtained by removing a high-frequency component from the input image in a frequency domain;

setting an area where a pixel value difference is equal to or less than a predetermined value in the difference image,

acquiring color correction data based on a pair of the area of difference image and an image portion of a read image corresponding to the area, and

wherein the read image is an electronic image that is generated by reading the recording medium on which the input image is recorded.
