IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18452254 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an image processing apparatus that evaluates the surface of an object based on variations in edge position and edge luminance of an illumination image.

  • Acquisition unit acquires image data of an object with an illumination image on its surface.
  • Calculation unit calculates variation amounts of edge position and edge luminance based on the image data.
  • Evaluation unit assesses the state of the object's surface using the calculated variation amounts.

Original Abstract Submitted

An image processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire image data obtained by imaging an object having a surface on which an illumination image is generated, a calculation unit configured to calculate a variation amount of an edge position of the illumination image and a variation amount of an edge luminance of the illumination image based on the image data, and an evaluation unit configured to evaluate a state of the surface of the object based on the variation amount of the edge position and the variation amount of the edge luminance.
