[0023] equipment structure

[0024] will refer to figure 1 The block diagram of shows the structure of the image processing apparatus in this embodiment. A microprocessor (CPU) 104 controls a computer via a system bus 109 by executing various programs stored in a read only memory (ROM) 105 and a hard disk drive (HDD) 103 using a random access memory (RAM) 106 as a work memory. The following elements.

[0025] The input unit 101 includes a keyboard and a pointing system such as a mouse, and inputs instructions and data from a user. The display unit 102 is a monitor such as a liquid crystal display, and displays a Graphical User Interface (GUI). The HDD 103 stores various data and programs including image data and data necessary for processing to be described below. The communication unit 107 is a network interface for communicating with external devices via the network 108 . The network 108 may be a wired network, a wireless network, or a serial bus, among others.

Abstract

The present invention relates to an image processing device and an image processing method. A virtual environment corresponding to the observed environment of the printed material is generated. By referring to the color transition characteristic, the color values ​​of the diffuse component and the gloss component of light reflected by the virtual printed material in the virtual environment are obtained. The color value of the diffuse component is mapped to a color gamut for a monitor for displaying an image of a printed material. Maps the color values ​​of glossy components into the color gamut used by monitors. The color values ​​of the gamut-mapped diffuse and gloss components are combined to generate an image of the printed material.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image processing device and an image processing method, and more particularly to an image processing device and an image processing method for performing soft-proofing of printed materials. Background technique [0002] The process of using a computer device (PC) to simulate the finished product of the material printed by the printer and displaying the simulation result on the monitor is called soft proofing. In soft proofing, color matching is performed on a color component of light reflected by a printed material (hereinafter referred to as a diffuse component), and the color is faithfully reproduced on a monitor. Recently, in soft proofing, simulation of a diffuse component and a glossy component (reflection component of an illuminated image) of a printed material using computer graphics (CG) is becoming popular. In general, glossy components have high brightness and often exceed the color reproduction range (gam...
