INSPECTION APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD FOR INSPECTION APPARATUS, INSPECTION SYSTEM, CONTROL METHOD FOR INSPECTION SYSTEM AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18523679 titled 'INSPECTION APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD FOR INSPECTION APPARATUS, INSPECTION SYSTEM, CONTROL METHOD FOR INSPECTION SYSTEM AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The inspection apparatus described in the patent application is designed to register image data, receive information about the arrangement location of the image data, register a reference image based on this information, and inspect a printed material using a scanned image and the reference image.

  • Controller registers image data upon receiving it
  • Receives information about arrangement location of image data
  • Registers reference image based on rearranged image data
  • Inspects printed material using scanned image and reference image

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in quality control processes for printed materials, such as packaging, labels, and documents.

Problems Solved

This technology helps in ensuring the accuracy and quality of printed materials by comparing the scanned image with a reference image.

This technology can be used to inspect various types of printed materials, such as labels, packaging, documents, and more.


Original Abstract Submitted

An inspection apparatus includes a controller configured to register image data upon receiving the image data, receive information about an arrangement location of the image data, wherein the arrangement location is obtained based on the image data and a print setting, register a reference image obtained by rearranging the registered image data based on the information about the arrangement location, and inspect a printed material on which the image data is printed, upon receiving a scanned image obtained by scanning the printed material, based on the scanned image and the reference image, wherein the arrangement location of the image data includes information indicating whether to perform the inspection.
