PRINTED-MATTER INSPECTION SYSTEM AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18300019 titled 'PRINTED-MATTER INSPECTION SYSTEM AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a printed-matter inspection system that compares scanned images with reference images to identify defects in printed materials. The system also simulates post-processing effects on the printed matter to display defects in association with the final product.
- Processor inspects printed matter by comparing scanned images with reference images.
- Display device shows inspection results and defects in association with simulated post-processed images.
- System helps identify defects in printed materials before post-processing is applied.
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in industries such as printing, publishing, packaging, and quality control to ensure the quality of printed materials before final processing.
Problems Solved
1. Ensures defects in printed materials are identified before post-processing. 2. Improves quality control processes in printing and publishing industries.
Benefits
1. Reduces the risk of defective products reaching consumers. 2. Saves time and resources by identifying defects early in the production process.
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing Printed Matter Inspection System for Quality Control in Printing and Publishing Industries
Possible Prior Art
There are existing systems for inspecting printed materials, but the integration of simulated post-processing effects for defect display may be a novel feature in this technology.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system handle different types of defects in printed materials?
The system may use image recognition algorithms to identify various types of defects such as misprints, smudges, or color discrepancies.
Can the system be integrated into existing printing and publishing workflows easily?
The system may require compatibility with existing scanning and post-processing equipment to be seamlessly integrated into production processes.
Original Abstract Submitted
A printed-matter inspection system includes a processor that inspects printed matter, and a display device that displays a result of the inspection. The processor is configured to: compare a scanned image with a reference image of an inspection-target page of the printed matter to perform inspection for at least one defect that is present in the scanned image, the scanned image being obtained by scanning the inspection-target page; and obtain information about post-processing that is to be performed on the printed matter, and, on the basis of the information about the post-processing, display, on the display device, the at least one defect in association with at least one simulated image of the printed matter obtained after the post-processing.
