20090051968 | PRINT CONTROL SYSTEM, CONTROL METHOD OF PRINT CONTROL SYSTEM, AND CONTROL PROGRAM OF INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS - When a subsidiary printout is printed from a printer driver, it is an object to enable a subsidiary print job to be formed without destroying a relationship between the master and the servant in a print process. A first print job formed by a first application program is input through an operating system and a printer driver processes the input first print job. A second application program which forms a second print job different from the first print job and sends to the operating system is provided. The printer driver starts the second application program, transfers settings of the printer driver to the second application program, receives the second print job formed by the second application program through the operating system, processes the second print job, and allows a printer to print the second print job. | 02-26-2009 |
20090067739 | COLOR PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD - A color processing apparatus for converting input spectral color data into output color component data corresponding to an output device is provided. A first conversion unit converts the input spectral color data into color component data, and converts the converted color component data into first output color component data corresponding to the output device. A second conversion unit converts the input spectral color data into second output color component data using a calculation unit which calculates spectral color data from output color component data. An evaluation unit evaluates the first output color component data converted by the first conversion unit. A control unit controls to output one of the first and second output color component data in accordance with the evaluation result of the evaluation unit. | 03-12-2009 |
20100231755 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND IMAGE SENSOR - An image processing apparatus includes a unit to obtain mosaic image data by shooting a subject with use of a color image sensor in which five or more kinds of color filters are arranged in front of an image pickup device; a first interpolator to perform interpolation to color information of a high-definition color filter, in regard to the obtained mosaic image data; and a second interpolator to perform interpolation to color information of a low-definition color filter of which a peak wavelength in spectral transmittance is adjacent to that of the high-definition color filter, by using a result of the interpolation by the first interpolator, wherein the mosaic image data is image data which has one color information for each pixel, and the five or more kinds of color filters include the plural high-definition color filters and the plural low-definition color filters, thereby performing demosaicing without deteriorating definition. | 09-16-2010 |
20110128542 | CALIBRATION APPARATUS AND CALIBRATION METHOD - A calibration apparatus associates a pixel position and a wavelength of a spectrometer sensor. In calibrating the sensor, the calibration apparatus searches for a first pixel value corresponding to a bright line spectrum of incident light by a first search method based on the pixel value corresponding to the incident light acquired by the sensor and searches for a second pixel value corresponding to the bright line spectrum of the incident light by a second search method based on the pixel value corresponding to the incident light acquired by the sensor. The calibration apparatus associates either one of a first pixel position and a second pixel position with the wavelength of the bright line spectrum of the incident light. The calibration apparatus can appropriately acquire a correspondence relation between a detection position and a wavelength even if the correspondence relation has varied due to aging or changes in the temperature. | 06-02-2011 |
