INSPECTION APPARATUS, METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18319104 titled 'INSPECTION APPARATUS, METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The present invention is an inspection apparatus for inspecting images formed on a recording medium by a printing apparatus. It stores a reference image used to form an image on the recording medium and obtains target image data by reading an image formed on the recording medium to be inspected. The inspection apparatus applies noise components to the reference image, aligns it with the target image data, and performs collation processing between the aligned reference image and target image data.
- The inspection apparatus stores a reference image used for comparison.
- It obtains target image data by reading the image to be inspected on the recording medium.
- The apparatus applies noise components to the reference image.
- It aligns the reference image with the target image data.
- The inspection apparatus performs collation processing between the aligned reference image and target image data.
Potential Applications
- Quality control in printing processes.
- Inspection of printed images for accuracy and consistency.
- Verification of printing apparatus performance.
Problems Solved
- Ensures accurate and consistent printing by comparing reference and target images.
- Detects any discrepancies or errors in the printed images.
- Provides a reliable method for quality control in printing processes.
Benefits
- Improved quality control in printing processes.
- Increased accuracy and consistency in printed images.
- Efficient detection of printing errors or discrepancies.
Original Abstract Submitted
The present invention provides an inspection apparatus that inspects an image formed on a recording medium by a printing apparatus. The inspection apparatus stores, as a reference image, image data used to form an image on the recording medium, obtains target image data to be inspected, by reading an image to be inspected formed on the recording medium. The inspection apparatus applies noise components to the reference image, aligns the reference image to which the noise components have been applied with the target image data, and performs collation processing between the reference image and the target image data that have been aligned.
