Method and apparatus for producing images by using finely optimized image processing parameters
First Claim
1. An image producing apparatus which produces images by performing printing of print data comprising:
- an object determining device for determining the type of an object depicted by said print data upon analysis of the commands described in said print data, and determining attributes other than said object type as determined;
a pattern setting device for setting an image processing pattern consisting of a group of one or more image processing parameters depending on the determination on the type of said object and the results of the determinations on the attributes other than the type of said object, made by said object determining device; and
a print data processor for providing said print data with image processing based on the image processing parameters determined by said image processing pattern which has been set by said pattern setting device.

Abstract
Method and apparatus for producing images by printing a print data are provided. The print data is a data produced, for example, by a printer driver of a computer and is described in a PDL. The image producing apparatus analyzes commands described in the print data to determine the type of an object depicted by the print data, and to determine attributes other than the type of the object as determined. An image processing pattern consisting of a group of one or more image processing parameters is set depending on the type of the object as determined and the results of the determinations on the attributes. The print data is provided with image processing based on the image processing parameters determined by the image processing pattern.

18. A program readably recorded in a memory and is executable by a computer, wherein, by executing the program, the computer is functioned as:
-
object determining means for determining the type of an object depicted by said print data upon analysis of the commands described in said print data, and determining attributes other than the type of said object as determined;
pattern setting means for setting an image processing pattern consisting of a group of one or more image processing parameters depending on the determination on the type of said object and the results of the determinations on the attributes made by said object determining means; and
print data processing means for providing said print data with image processing based on said image processing parameters determined by said image processing pattern which has been set by said pattern setting means.
