==INSPECTION APPARATUS AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240135528 titled 'INSPECTION APPARATUS AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

==Simplified Explanation==

The inspection apparatus performs image processing on image data used in printing and stores the processed image data as a reference image. It then determines if a corresponding reference image is stored and performs further image processing to match the scanned image with the reference image.

* Image processing on image data used in printing
* Storing processed image data as a reference image
* Matching scanned image with reference image

== Potential Applications ==
This technology can be applied in quality control processes for printed materials, such as newspapers, magazines, packaging, and labels.

== Problems Solved ==
This technology helps in detecting any discrepancies or defects in printed materials by comparing them with reference images, ensuring high-quality output.

== Benefits ==
- Improved quality control in printing processes
- Efficient detection of printing errors or defects
- Streamlined inspection procedures

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
"Quality Control in Printing Processes: Enhancing Efficiency and Accuracy"

== Possible Prior Art ==
One possible prior art could be the use of image processing software in quality control systems for printed materials.

=== What are the limitations of this technology in detecting printing errors? ===

The technology may have limitations in detecting very subtle printing errors that are not easily distinguishable from the reference image.

=== How does this technology handle variations in printing processes across different printers or printing materials? ===

This technology may require calibration or adjustments to accommodate variations in printing processes, printers, or materials to ensure accurate matching with reference images.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

the inspection apparatus performs first image processing on image data used in printing the image, and stores image data for which the first image processing has been performed as a reference image. the inspection apparatus determines whether a first reference image corresponding to a reference image that can be used in a job to be inspected is stored, and if it is determined that the corresponding first reference image is stored, performs second image processing on the first reference image to convert the first reference image into a second reference image corresponding to the job. the inspection apparatus obtains a scanned image by reading an image of paper on which printing has been performed according to the job and performs processing for matching the obtained scanned image and the second reference image.
