Color image processing apparatus for color-correcting input image data using neural network
First Claim
1. A color image processing apparatus including:
- read means for reading an original image;
color correcting means for color-correcting input image data using a color-correcting neural network; and
output means for outputting color-corrected image data;
said color-correcting neural network learning using teacher data and learning data,said teacher data being learning color data produced by adding data of a first color and/or deleting data of a second color to/from data of master color samples, said first color being a color to which human eyes are highly sensitive, said second color being a color to which human eyes are less sensitive,said learning data being image data produced by said read means as said read means reads an image produced by said output means based on said learning color data.

Abstract
A color image processing apparatus including a read device for reading an original image, a color correcting device for color-correcting input image data using a color-correcting neural network, and an output device for outputting color-corrected image data. The neural network with teacher data, which are in effect learning color data reflecting the visual characteristics of human eyes, using learning data produced by reading a copy image produced based on the learning color data. Accordingly, the neural network can correct colors accurately in a manner to fully reflect the visual characteristics of human eyes, thereby making the color difference between the original image and a copy of the same less noticeable.
