Image Processing Apparatus Using Display Image Analysis
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image processing techniques result in lower image quality when processing scan data of display images compared to original image data, leading to suboptimal representation of target images.
Innovation Solution
An image processing apparatus that acquires image data of a target image and a display image showing its state, analyzes the display image to determine necessary image processing, and applies this processing to the target image data to achieve high-quality image output.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If image processing is performed on scan data of a display image, then the processing can be completed, but the image quality is lower compared to processing original image data
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a display image as an intermediary element that captures the intended display state of the target image. This display image serves as a mediator between the user's display preferences and the original image data, enabling the system to understand what processing should be applied to achieve the desired display state without degrading image quality
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary analysis of the display image to determine the target image state before processing the original image data. By pre-analyzing what display state is desired (through the display image), the system can apply appropriate processing to the original high-quality image data rather than degrading scan data
2Loss of information
If the display image is read by a scanner device, then the target image state can be obtained, but the image quality deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the necessary information from the display image - specifically the target image state characteristics - rather than using the entire scanned display image for processing. This extraction approach retrieves the essential display state information while avoiding the quality loss inherent in scanning and reprocessing images
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary analysis of the display image to extract target image state information before any processing of the original image data begins. This pre-extraction of state information allows the system to work with high-quality original image data while maintaining the desired display characteristics

AI summary
An image processing apparatus includes a unit that acquires image data of a target image which is a target of image processing, a unit that acquires a display image showing a target image state, and a unit that performs image processing corresponding to the target image state with respect to the image data of the target image, based on the acquired display image.
