Abstract

An image processing apparatus includes a processor. The processor is configured to execute a program to generate a post-color conversion image from a pre-color conversion image using a color conversion model, calculate a color conversion precision of the post-color conversion image using a precision of the color conversion model, specify a region, the color conversion precision of which is equal to or less than a threshold, and display, of the post-color conversion image, a post-color conversion image, the region of which with the color conversion precision being equal to or less than the threshold has a size that is larger than a criterion determined in advance.

Claims (48)

1. An image processing apparatus comprising:

a processor,

wherein the processor is configured to execute a program to

generate a post-color conversion image from a pre-color conversion image using a color conversion model,

calculate a color conversion precision of the post-color conversion image using a precision of the color conversion model,

specify a region where the color conversion precision is equal to or less than a threshold, and

display, among post-color conversion images, a post-color conversion image in which the region where the color conversion precision is equal to or less than the threshold has a size that is larger than a criterion determined in advance.

2. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor calculates a precision for each of red, green, and blue colors as the precision of the color conversion model, and calculates the color conversion precision for each pixel.

3. The image processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the processor divides the post-color conversion image into a plurality of blocks, and calculates the color conversion precision for each of the blocks.

4. The image processing apparatus according to claim 3 ,

wherein the processor calculates a statistical value for a group of pixels that constitute the block as the color conversion precision.

5. The image processing apparatus according to claim 3 ,

wherein the processor calculates the color conversion precision through weighted computation in which, in the post-color conversion image, a relatively large weight is given to a region of interest and a relatively small weight is given to a region of no interest.

6. The image processing apparatus according to claim 3 ,

wherein the processor calculates the color conversion precision through weighted computation in which, in the post-color conversion image, a relatively large weight is given to an important region and a relatively small weight is given to an unimportant region.

7. The image processing apparatus according to claim 3 ,

wherein the processor calculates the color conversion precision through weighted computation in which, in the post-color conversion image, a relatively large weight is given to a region with a relatively large amount of variations in color conversion and a relatively small weight is given to a region with a relatively small amount of variations in color conversion.

8. The image processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the processor calculates the color conversion precision through weighted computation in which, in the post-color conversion image, a relatively large weight is given to a region and a relatively small weight is given to a region of no interest.

9. The image processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the processor calculates the color conversion precision through weighted computation in which, in the post-color conversion image, a relatively large weight is given to an important region and a relatively small weight is given to an unimportant region.

10. The image processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the processor calculates the color conversion precision through weighted computation in which, in the post-color conversion image, a relatively large weight is given to a region with a relatively large amount of variations in color conversion and a relatively small weight is given to a region with a relatively small amount of variations in color conversion.

11. The image processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the processor compares the color conversion precision with the threshold using different thresholds for a region of interest and a region of no interest, in the post-color conversion image.

12. The image processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the processor compares the color conversion precision with the threshold using different thresholds for an important region and an unimportant region, in the post-color conversion image.

13. The image processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the processor compares the color conversion precision with the threshold using different thresholds for a region where an amount of change in color conversion is relatively large and a region where an amount of change in color conversion is relatively small, in the post-color conversion image.

14. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor calculates the color conversion precision through weighted computation in which, in the post-color conversion image, a relatively large weight is given to a region of interest and a relatively small weight is given to a region of no interest.

15. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor calculates the color conversion precision through weighted computation in which, in the post-color conversion image, a relatively large weight is given to an important region and a relatively small weight is given to an unimportant region.

16. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor calculates the color conversion precision through weighted computation in which, in the post-color conversion image, a relatively large weight is given to a region with a relatively large amount of variations in color conversion and a relatively small weight is given to a region with a relatively small amount of variations in color conversion.

17. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor compares the color conversion precision with the threshold using different thresholds for a region of interest and a region of no interest, in the post-color conversion image.

18. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor compares the color conversion precision with the threshold using different thresholds for an important region and an unimportant region, in the post-color conversion image.

19. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor compares the color conversion precision with the threshold using different thresholds for a region where an amount of change in color conversion is relatively large and a region where an amount of change in color conversion is relatively small, in the post-color conversion image.

20. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process comprising:

generating a post-color conversion image from a pre-color conversion image using a color conversion model;

calculating a color conversion precision of the post-color conversion image using a precision of the color conversion model;

specifying a region where the color conversion precision is equal to or less than a threshold; and

displaying, among post-color conversion images, a post-color conversion image in which the region where the color conversion precision is equal to or less than the threshold has a size that is larger than a criterion determined in advance.
