Digital image processing apparatus
First Claim
1. A digital image processing apparatus in which color-separation signals of a picture represented in terms of gradation are converted into binary signals, said apparatus comprising:
- END conversion means for converting color-separation signals into color signals which are gray-balanced;
color masking means for applying color masking process to the gray-balanced color signals provided by said END conversion means to produce first-order gradation toner signals;
background-color removing and black tone producing means for removing background-colors and for producing black tone in response to the first-order gradation signals provided by said color masking means to produce second-order gradation toner signals; and
process toner signal processing means for applying processes for Moire prevention and edge emphasis to the second-order gradation toner signals provided by said background-color removing and black tone producing means to produce binary toner signals.
