INSPECTION APPARATUS, METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18511022 titled 'INSPECTION APPARATUS, METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The inspection apparatus described in the abstract is designed to simplify and align images for inspection purposes. Here are some key points to explain the patent/innovation:
- Image simplifying processing converts multiple image elements into a single lump while maintaining their positions on the reference and target images.
- Alignment between the reference and target images is performed using moving related information before applying image simplifying processing.
- Inspection is carried out by comparing the aligned reference image with the aligned target image.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in various industries such as printing, quality control, and image analysis.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of efficiently inspecting images formed on recording media by printing apparatuses.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved image inspection accuracy, faster inspection processes, and enhanced quality control.
Potential Commercial Applications
One potential commercial application of this technology could be in the development of advanced image inspection systems for printing companies.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be image processing software used in quality control systems for printed materials.
The specific moving related information used for alignment in this technology includes data on the positions and movements of image elements in the reference and target images.
How does the image simplifying processing help in the inspection process?
The image simplifying processing helps in the inspection process by reducing the complexity of the images while maintaining the relative positions of the image elements, making it easier to compare and analyze the images for defects or discrepancies.
Original Abstract Submitted
An inspection apparatus for inspecting a target image that is obtained by reading an image formed on a recording medium by a printing apparatus. The inspection apparatus executes image simplifying processing for converting a plurality of image elements in image to a lump of image elements in which the plurality of image elements are concatenated, while maintaining positions of the image elements as-is, on a reference image and the target image, performs alignment between the reference image and the target image before subjected to the image simplifying processing, using moving related information regarding the alignment between the reference image and the target image based on the reference image and the target image that have been subjected to the image simplifying processing, and performs inspection by comparing the aligned reference image with the aligned target image.
