The method specifically comprises the following steps:
S1, acquiring a color value of the printing medium and recording the color value as a first color value;
specifically, when the color value of the printing medium used by the user is known, the color value may beDirectly acquiring a color value input by a user on an image processing interactive interface; when the color value of the printing medium used by the user is unknown, the color value of the printing medium may be acquired by scanning the printing medium using an image scanner (e.g., eyeone). Wherein, the color value input by the user on the image processing interactive interface or scanned and obtained by the image scanner is reflected differently in different color modes, for example, in the CMYK color mode, the first color value of the printing medium is (C)0、M0、Y0、K0) If in the RGB color mode, the first color value of the print medium is (R)0、G0、B0)。
S2, obtaining color values of all pixel points in the image to be printed after the background image is removed, and recording the color values as second color values;
specifically, in this embodiment, the image to be printed includes a background image and a foreground image, the foreground image is extracted from the image to be printed and placed into an image with a blank background and a size consistent with that of the original image, so as to form an intermediate image only including the foreground image, and the intermediate image is printed during printing to obtain second color values of all pixel points in the intermediate image (i.e., the foreground image); when a large amount of storage space needs to be consumed when the foreground image is very large, if the requirement on the image precision is not high, the actual printing size of the foreground image can be stored, then the foreground image is zoomed in an equal proportion, the zoomed foreground image is placed into the image with the empty background in the equal proportion, then the second color values of all pixel points in the zoomed foreground image are traversed, and the printing is carried out according to the actual printing size of the stored foreground image during printing.
Preferably, referring to fig. 2, extracting the foreground image from the image to be printed and acquiring the second color value of each pixel point in the foreground image specifically include the following steps:
s211, carrying out graying and binarization processing on the image to be printed to obtain a binary image;
s212, determining a foreground image area in the image to be printed according to the binary image;

Specifically, in the embodiment, aiming at the condition that the color of the background image is relatively similar to the color of the printing medium, graying and binarization processing is directly performed on the image to be printed to obtain a binary image, then a foreground image area in the image to be printed is determined according to the binary image, a foreground image is extracted from the foreground image area, and then the foreground image is traversed to obtain second color values of all pixel points in the foreground image. The graying, binarization and foreground image extraction processing of the image to be printed are all processed by using an algorithm function in an image processing library (such as opencv), and if the color value is in an RGB color mode, the grayscale conversion formula is as follows:
Gray=R×0.299+G×0.587+B×0.114
Wherein Gray represents the Gray value of the pixel or the print medium, and the color value of the pixel or the print medium in the RGB color mode is (R, G, B).
When the color value is the color value in the CMYK color mode, the gray scale conversion formula is:
Figure BDA0002041466280000061
wherein Gray represents the Gray value of the pixel or the print medium, and the color value of the pixel or the print medium in the CMYK color mode is (R, G, B).

s225, extracting a foreground image in the foreground image area from the image to be printed;
s226, traversing all the pixel points in the foreground image to obtain the second color value of each pixel point.
Specifically, in this embodiment, for the case that the color of the background map is far from the color of the printing medium, a difference value is first made between the third color values of all the pixel points in the image to be printed and the first color value of the printing medium to obtain an intermediate image, then the intermediate image is grayed and binarized to obtain a binary image, finally, a foreground map region in the image to be printed is determined according to the binary image, a foreground map is extracted from the foreground map region, and the foreground map is traversed to obtain the second color values of all the pixel points in the foreground map. The graying, binarization and foreground image extraction processing of the image to be printed are also processed by using an algorithm function in an image processing library (such as opencv), and if the color value is in an RGB color mode, the grayscale conversion formula is as follows:
Gray=R×0.299+G×0.587+B×0.114
wherein Gray represents the Gray value of the pixel or the print medium, and the color value of the pixel or the print medium in the RGB color mode is (R, G, B).
When the color value is the color value in the CMYK color mode, the gray scale conversion formula is:
Figure BDA0002041466280000071
wherein Gray represents the Gray value of the pixel or the print medium, and the color value of the pixel or the print medium in the CMYK color mode is (R, G, B).
S3, acquiring a color difference value corresponding to each pixel point according to the first color value and the second color value;
specifically, the first color value and the second color value are converted into color values in the same color mode, such as color values in a CMYK color mode or color values in a lab color mode, and then the first color value and the second color value are differenced to obtain a color difference value of each pixel.
Preferably, referring to fig. 4, when the color value in the lab color mode is used for calculation, the specific method for obtaining the color difference value of each pixel point includes the following steps:
s311, acquiring a color characteristic file of the printer;
s312, converting the first color value and the second color value into a corresponding first lab value and a corresponding second lab value according to the color profile;
s313, obtaining the color difference value corresponding to each pixel point according to the first lab value and the second lab value.
Specifically, an ICC curve of a color management curve of a printer executing a print job is obtained, the first color value and the second color value are converted into a corresponding first lab value and a corresponding second lab value through the ICC curve, a difference value between the second lab value corresponding to each pixel point and the first lab value of the print medium is calculated to obtain a color difference value corresponding to each pixel point, and the color difference value calculated and obtained by using the lab value is more accurate than the color difference value calculated and obtained in other color modes.
Preferably, the color difference value is obtained by the following formula:
Figure BDA0002041466280000081
wherein Δ E represents a color difference value of a pixel point, and the first lab value of the printing medium is (L)1、a1、b1) The second lab value of the pixel point is (L)2、a2、b2)。

Simultaneously still include: mapping tables between different device color fields, such as CMYK color values of a printer to CMYK color values of a target color field, lab values of the target color field to CMYK color values of the printer, CMYK values of the target color field to lab values of the target color field, and the like.
S4, comparing the color difference value with a set color threshold value;
specifically, the obtained color difference value of each pixel point is compared with a color threshold (for example, the color threshold is 1.5) obtained according to the characteristics of the printer, so as to determine whether each pixel point produces ink during printing.
And S5, when the color difference value is smaller than the color threshold value, adjusting the data of all color channels of the pixel points corresponding to the color difference value in the printer into ink non-discharge data.
Specifically, when the color difference value is smaller than the color threshold value, it indicates that the color of the pixel point is close to the color of the printing medium, and the pixel point may not discharge ink, that is, the data of all color channels of the pixel point are not discharged ink. Preferably, in this embodiment, the color channels of the printer include: cyan, magenta, yellow, black and white ink channels, and in other embodiments, the color channels of the printer further include spot color channels, such as blue, orange, etc. For example, when printing a medium in the textile industry, a layer of white ink needs to be printed on the printing medium before printing an image, and the ink amount value of the white ink is 100%, when the color difference value of the pixel is calculated to be smaller than the color threshold, the data of the pixel in the printer in the cyan channel, the magenta channel, the yellow channel, the black channel and the white ink channel are all adjusted to be ink non-discharge data, and when the color difference value of the pixel is calculated to be greater than or equal to the color threshold, the data of the pixel in the printer in the cyan channel, the magenta channel, the yellow channel, the black channel and the white ink channel keep the original data thereof unchanged, in this embodiment, the original data of the white ink channel is 100%. Therefore, pixel points with the same or similar color as the printing medium can not be printed, so that not only is color ink saved, but also white ink is saved, and the printing cost is reduced. In this embodiment, the range of the ink amount value of the white ink in the white ink channel is 0 to 100%, wherein the specific data value range of the ink amount value of the ink during printing is set according to different printing devices and use environments, and is a standard for quantifying the condition of the ink to be printed on the pixel point. Wherein the white ink channel and the other color channels are a parameter name for setting the use condition of the corresponding ink.
