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

  • This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18191559 Titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for evaluating the surface state of an object in a more suitable way. It involves using an image processing apparatus to gather distance information between a camera and the object, as well as information about the camera itself. Based on this data, the apparatus calculates the geometric condition of the positional relationship between a light source, the object, and the camera. This evaluation value can be used to assess the surface state of the object.


Original Abstract Submitted

An evaluation value for evaluating an object surface state is calculated in a more suitable form. An image processing apparatus acquires distance information about a distance between an image capturing apparatus and a subject, acquires image capturing apparatus information about the image capturing apparatus, and calculates a geometric condition on a positional relationship between a light source, the subject, and the image capturing apparatus based on the distance information and the image capturing apparatus information.
