IMAGE-FORMING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18324503 titled 'IMAGE-FORMING SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an image-forming system that includes an image-forming apparatus, a reading apparatus, and at least one processor. The system is designed to form a test chart on a first sheet, calibrate the read image data obtained from the test chart, and inspect an inspection target image formed on a second sheet.
- The image-forming system includes an image-forming apparatus, a reading apparatus, and at least one processor.
- The reading apparatus reads an image formed on a sheet to obtain read image data.
- The image-forming apparatus is controlled to form a test chart on a first sheet.
- The first read image data obtained from reading the test chart is used to calibrate the second read image data obtained from reading an inspection target image formed on a second sheet.
- The inspection target image is inspected based on the calibrated second read image data and the RIP data.
- The test chart includes a patch arrangement with multiple patches, where the periphery patch is smaller than the interior patch.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Printing industry: The image-forming system can be used in printing machines to ensure accurate and high-quality image reproduction.
- Quality control: The system can be used in various industries to inspect and verify the quality of printed images.
- Graphic design: Graphic designers can use the system to calibrate and fine-tune their designs for optimal printing results.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Inaccurate image reproduction: The system helps calibrate the image-forming apparatus to ensure accurate and consistent image reproduction.
- Quality control issues: By inspecting the inspection target image, the system helps identify any defects or inconsistencies in the printed images.
- Wasted resources: The calibration process helps reduce waste by ensuring that the image-forming apparatus is properly calibrated before printing.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved image quality: The calibration process ensures accurate color reproduction and image clarity.
- Time and cost savings: By inspecting the inspection target image, any issues can be identified and resolved early, reducing the need for reprints and saving time and resources.
- Enhanced productivity: The system automates the calibration and inspection process, allowing for faster and more efficient image reproduction.
Original Abstract Submitted
An image-forming system includes an image-forming apparatus; a reading apparatus configured to read an image formed on a sheet to obtain read image data; and at least one processor configured to: control the image-forming apparatus to form a test chart on a first sheet, calibrate, using first read image data obtained by reading the test chart on the first sheet, second read image data that is obtained by reading an inspection target image formed by the image-forming apparatus on a second sheet based on RIP data, and inspect the inspection target image based on the calibrated second read image data and the RIP data. The test chart includes a patch arrangement with a plurality of patches, and a size of a periphery patch is smaller than a size of an interior patch.
