Abstract

An image processing apparatus includes a trapping section that performs trapping on a received pixel, a digital filtering section that performs digital filtering on the pixel in parallel with the trapping using the trapping section, and a selection section that selects a result of the trapping using the trapping section and a result of the digital filtering using the digital filtering section.

Claims (55)

1 . An image processing apparatus comprising:

a trapping section that performs trapping on a received pixel;

a digital filtering section that performs digital filtering on the pixel in parallel with the trapping using the trapping section; and

a selection section that selects a result of the trapping using the trapping section and a result of the digital filtering using the digital filtering section.

2 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the digital filtering section performs the digital filtering on the pixel that is not processed by the trapping section.

3 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the digital filtering section does not process the pixel that is processed by the trapping section.

4 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the trapping section and the digital filtering section respectively perform the trapping and the digital filtering through different paths.

5 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 4 ,

wherein the trapping section performs the trapping through a trapping path.

6 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 4 ,

wherein the digital filtering section performs the digital filtering through a digital filtering path.

7 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a window generation section that generates a window as an inspection frame constituted by a set of pixels which is commonly used in the trapping section and the digital filtering section.

8 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 2 , further comprising:

a window generation section that generates a window as an inspection frame constituted by a set of pixels which is commonly used in the trapping section and the digital filtering section.

9 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 3 , further comprising:

a window generation section that generates a window as an inspection frame constituted by a set of pixels which is commonly used in the trapping section and the digital filtering section.

10 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 4 , further comprising:

a window generation section that generates a window as an inspection frame constituted by a set of pixels which is commonly used in the trapping section and the digital filtering section.

11 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 5 , further comprising:

a window generation section that generates a window as an inspection frame constituted by a set of pixels which is commonly used in the trapping section and the digital filtering section.

12 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 6 , further comprising:

a window generation section that generates a window as an inspection frame constituted by a set of pixels which is commonly used in the trapping section and the digital filtering section.

13 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 7 , further comprising:

a storage section that stores a received image,

wherein the window generation section generates the window by using pixels stored in the storage section.

14 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 8 , further comprising:

a storage section that stores a received image,

wherein the window generation section generates the window by using pixels stored in the storage section.

15 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 9 , further comprising:

a storage section that stores a received image,

wherein the window generation section generates the window by using pixels stored in the storage section.

16 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 10 , further comprising:

a storage section that stores a received image,

wherein the window generation section generates the window by using pixels stored in the storage section.

17 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 11 , further comprising:

a storage section that stores a received image,

wherein the window generation section generates the window by using pixels stored in the storage section.

18 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 12 , further comprising:

a storage section that stores a received image,

wherein the window generation section generates the window by using pixels stored in the storage section.

19 . An image forming apparatus comprising:

an image forming unit that forms a color image; and

an image processing unit that processes the image for the image forming unit,

wherein the image processing unit includes

a trapping section that performs trapping on a received pixel,

a digital filtering section that performs digital filtering on the pixel in parallel with the trapping using the trapping section, and

a selection section that selects a result of the trapping using the trapping section and a result of the digital filtering using the digital filtering section.

20 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to perform:

trapping on a received pixel;

digital filtering on the pixel in parallel with the trapping; and

selecting a result of the trapping and a result of the digital filtering.
