Abstract:
An image processing apparatus of the invention, includes: an error value calculation unit configured to calculate an error value in a target pixel from a concentration value in the target pixel of input image data, and a PWM error value calculated on the basis of a light amount of laser light which is actually emitted on the basis of a PWM signal of a pulse width corresponding to the concentration value, and a light amount of ideal laser light corresponding to the pulse width; and a concentration value calculation unit configured to add the error value calculated in peripheral pixels positioned in the vicinity of the target pixel to the concentration value at a predetermined ratio, in which the error value calculation unit sets the error value in the target pixel to 0 according to the concentration value or a pixel position of the target pixel.
