Image Processing Apparatus Bitmap Vector Edge Intensity
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Images processed using multiple data formats, such as bitmap and vector formats, often exhibit incongruity due to differences in edge intensity, leading to a sense of inconsistency in character appearances.
Innovation Solution
An image processing apparatus that acquires objective image data containing characters in both bitmap and vector formats, analyzes the data, and generates processed image data by applying conversion processing to ensure the edge intensity of characters in bitmap format matches that of characters in vector format, thereby reducing appearance differences.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple data formats (bitmap and vector) are used to represent characters in an image, then the image can accommodate diverse character representations, but the edge intensity of characters becomes inconsistent causing visual incongruity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the edge intensity parameter of bitmap characters to match vector characters. The controller detects characters in bitmap format and adjusts their edge intensity through processing, transforming the visual appearance parameter to achieve consistency across different data formats while maintaining the ability to use multiple formats
2Ease of manufacture
If bitmap format is used for character representation, then the image can include rasterized characters, but the edge intensity of bitmap characters is lower than that of vector characters causing appearance differences
Solution Approach 1:
The system adjusts the edge intensity parameter of bitmap characters through processing. The controller identifies bitmap characters and applies edge intensity modification to elevate them to match the precision and appearance of vector characters, thereby improving manufacturing precision without sacrificing the ease of bitmap generation

AI summary
An image processing apparatus includes a controller configured to execute: acquiring objective image data representing an objective image which includes a first character and a second character; analyzing first partial image data and specifying the first character in an image represented by the first partial image data; and generating processed image data representing a processed image which includes the first character and the second character by using the objective image data. The objective image data includes the first partial image data in a bitmap format which represents the image including the first character and second partial image data in a vector format which represents an image including the second character. The processed image data includes: first processed data representing an image including the first character; and second processed data representing an image including the second character.
