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.

Claim (Index 8):
An image processing apparatus, comprising:\n a dither processing unit configured to perform dither processing by using a dither matrix in first image data; an irradiation control unit configured to emit laser light of a light amount corresponding to a pulse width signal of which a width is changed in predetermined unit, on the basis of second image data generated by the dither processing unit; an obtaining unit configured to obtain an error value based on a difference between the light amount of the laser light emitted on the basis of a pixel value of a target pixel, and a target light amount corresponding to the pixel value, with respect to the target pixel in the second image data; and a control unit configured to add the error value obtained by the obtaining unit to a pixel value of peripheral pixels of the target pixel at a predetermined ratio, wherein the control unit clears an error added to the peripheral pixels in a case in which the pixel value of the peripheral pixels is less than or equal to a predetermined value.
