Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising … …" does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises the element.
Referring to fig. 1, in the method for setting an ink amount of a printer based on image processing according to the embodiment of the present invention, the color value of a printing medium is obtained, the color value of the printing medium is compared with the color values of all pixels in an image to be printed, and the processed image color value is compared with a set color threshold value to obtain the ink amount value of white ink laid on the bottom of the white ink to be printed at each pixel when the image to be printed is printed, so that not only can a part of the ink amount be saved and the printing cost be reduced, but also the ink amount value of the white ink is reasonably set according to the color value of each pixel in the image to be printed instead of directly outputting the 100% white ink amount value, so that the printed image has good transition and touch feeling. 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 input by the user on the image processing interactive interface can be directly obtained; when the user does not know the printing medium used by himselfColor values, color values 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, performing graying processing on the image to be printed according to the first color value to obtain a first gray map;
specifically, in this embodiment, the image to be printed includes a background image and a foreground image, and the color difference between the background image and the printing medium is large, so that the whole image needs to be processed to save ink, to obtain color values of all pixel points in the image to be printed, and then the first color value is subtracted from the color values of all pixel points to obtain an intermediate image, before processing, the first color value needs to be converted into a value that is the same as the color gamut of the pixel points in the image to be printed, and then the intermediate image is processed by graying to obtain a gray image, so that the gray value of each pixel point is a value, unlike the case where each pixel point in the color image in the RGB mode includes R, G, B three values, or the case where each pixel point in the color image in the CMYK mode includes C, M, Y, K four values, the color image cannot be compared in color values, therefore, the image needs to be grayed for color value comparison and data processing. And converting the first color value and the color value of the pixel point in the image to be printed by adopting a color characteristic curve in the printer.
Preferably, when the color value is a color value in an RGB color mode, the conversion formula in the graying processing is:
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).

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 corresponding to each pixel point is calculated by performing a difference between the second lab value corresponding to each pixel point and the first lab value of the print medium, and a result of the color difference value calculated and obtained by using the lab values is more accurate than a result of the color difference value calculated and obtained in other color modes.
S3, traversing the first gray scale image to obtain a first gray scale value of each pixel point in the gray scale image;
specifically, the existing traversal algorithm is adopted to traverse all the pixel points in the first gray scale map to obtain the first gray scale value of each pixel point.
S4, comparing the first gray value with a set color threshold value to obtain a comparison result;
specifically, the first gray 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 to obtain a comparison result, and the ink discharge condition of each pixel point during printing is determined according to the comparison result.
And S5, setting the ink quantity value of the white ink channel when the image to be printed is printed according to the comparison result.

Specifically, when the ink amount value of the white ink channel obtained by calculation is 0, the color values of the other channels of the printer are also adjusted to be 0, that is, the white ink channel does not discharge ink and the other channels do not discharge ink, and in the present embodiment, when the ink amount values of all the channels corresponding to the pixel points in the image to be printed are 0, the ink amount value of the white ink channel is also zero, that is, C is 0, M is 0, Y is 0, and K is 0, W is 0. The printer may also include a spot color channel, such as a red color channel, a blue color channel, and the like, and when the ink amount value of the white ink channel is zero, the ink amount value of the spot color channel is also zero.
