Abstract: Based on the resolution of acquired image data and a target resolution, a first resolution higher than the resolution of the image data and closest to the resolution of the image data is decided out of divisors of the target resolution. The image data is converted into first image data having the first resolution. The first image data is processed using a filter configured to compensate for degradation in quality of an image represented by the image data, which can occur when the image data is processed. The first image data processed using the filter is converted into second image data having the target resolution.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a generation unit generating a first chart image having a plurality of patches with different tone values, an obtaining unit obtaining measurement values acquired by measuring a test chart created by forming the first chart image on a medium, the measurement values indicating densities of a color material in regions of the test chart corresponding to the respective patches, and a selection unit selecting at least one tone value in a range in which an output characteristic of the image forming apparatus derived based on the tone values of the respective patches and the measurement values satisfies a predetermined condition. The generation unit generates a second chart image having a patch corresponding to the selected tone value included and at least one patch corresponding to the tone value outside the range in which the output characteristic satisfies the predetermined condition is omitted among the patches.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus comprises a generation unit configured to generate correction information for reducing density change in image formation using a printing material including a plurality of colors. The generation unit generates correction information, sequentially in ascending order from a region of a smaller number of printing materials in a read-out image acquired by reading an image formed using a printing material including a plurality of colors, the correction information corresponding to a printing material for which correction information has not been generated among the printing materials used for the region.

Abstract: An object is to enable highly accurate density unevenness correction while suppressing a reduction in productivity of printing accompanying correction value calculation for density unevenness correction. In the image processing apparatus, density correction information that specifies an output tone value for implementing a target density for an input tone value for each nozzle and which does not include the influence by a non-ejectable nozzle that cannot eject ink normally is acquired. In a case where a non-ejectable nozzle is detected during printing processing, output tone values corresponding to the detected non-ejectable nozzle and peripheral nozzles thereof among output tone values specified in the density correction information are changed.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus according to the present invention includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire an output condition when an image forming apparatus forms an image on a recording medium based on image data, and a processing unit configured to perform image processing on the image data for improving sharpness of the image by using a parameter based on the output condition. The parameter to be referred to by the processing unit represents such a characteristic that the image formed by the image forming apparatus has a luminous characteristic in relation to spatial frequency that remains constant or decreases continuously without causing any inflection point or any discontinuous point in a frequency band from a predetermined frequency to a limit frequency of the image forming apparatus.

Abstract: Provided is quantization processing that can reduce color development defect due to dot overlapping and can output an image with reduced granularity when the image is printed by using multiple kinds of colorants. To this end, dot arrangement information for a colorant for which dot arrangement is already determined among multiple kinds of colorants is acquired for a predetermined region of the image, and an evaluation value of each pixel included in the predetermined region is derived based on the arrangement information. In addition, for the predetermined region, a target value for a predetermined colorant for which dot arrangement is yet to be determined is derived based on the image. Then, whether or not to arrange a dot of the predetermined colorant in the predetermined region is determined based on the target value and the evaluation value.
