1. An image processing apparatus configured to process data to be used for forming an image on a recording medium, the image processing apparatus comprising:
- an acquiring unit that acquires input data including (i) shape data of a concave-convex area of the recording medium, the concave-convex area having a convex part and a concave part, and (ii) image data of an image to be formed on the concave-convex area of the recording medium;
an identifying unit that identifies an uneven area which is within a bottom surface of the concave part and is continuous with a wall surface connecting the bottom surface and a convex surface of the convex part of the recording medium; and
a correcting unit that corrects the image data so that the brightness of a first image area in the uneven area stacked with multiple dots and the brightness of a second image area continuous with at least the first image area become about the same,wherein the second image area is an area other than the first image area in the image to be formed on the concave-convex area of the recording medium.

Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes an acquiring unit, an identifying unit, and a correcting unit. The acquiring unit acquires input data including shape data on a concave-convex area having a convex part and a concave part and image data of an image formed on the concave-convex area. The identifying unit identifies an uneven area which is within a bottom surface of the concave part and is continuous with a wall surface connecting the bottom surface and a convex surface of the convex part. The correcting unit corrects the image data so that the brightness of a first image area in the uneven area stacked with multiple dots and the brightness of a second image area continuous with the first image area become about the same.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer readable program codes, performed by a computer, the program codes when executed causing the computer to execute:
-
acquiring input data including (i) shape data of a concave-convex area of a recording medium, the concave-convex area having a convex part and a concave part, and (ii) image data of an image to be formed on the concave-convex area of the recording medium; identifying an uneven area which is within a bottom surface of the concave part and is continuous with a wall surface connecting the bottom surface and a convex surface of the convex part of the recording medium; and correcting the image data so that the brightness of a first image area in the uneven area stacked with multiple dots and the brightness of a second image area continuous with at least the first image area become about the same, wherein the second image area is an area other than the first image area in the image to be formed on the concave-convex area of the recording medium.

10. An image processing method performed by a computer, the method comprising:
-
acquiring input data including (i) shape data of a concave-convex area of a recording medium, the concave-convex area having a convex part and a concave part and (ii) image data of an image to be formed on the concave-convex area of the recording medium; identifying an uneven area which is within a bottom surface of the concave part and is continuous with a wall surface connecting the bottom surface and a convex surface of the convex part of the recording medium; and correcting the image data so that the brightness of a first image area in the uneven area stacked with multiple dots and the brightness of a second image area continuous with at least the first image area become about the same, wherein the second image area is an area other than the first image area in the image formed on the concave-convex area of the recording medium.
