INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18596463 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD
The abstract of the patent application describes a method for determining the quality of an image of an inspected surface of a printed sheet by setting an inspection level based on a comparison between a captured image and a reference image. In cases where there are overlapping regions in the inspection regions set for the reference image, the inspection level of the overlap region is identified based on a predetermined priority and displayed.
- Method for determining quality of an image of an inspected surface of a printed sheet

Original Abstract Submitted
In a case where an inspection level to be used in determining quality of an image of an inspected surface of a printed sheet is set based on a comparison between a captured image resulting from imaging the inspected surface and a reference image, a plurality of inspection regions varying in inspection level is set for the reference image. In a case where an overlap region is present in the plurality of inspection regions, an inspection level of the overlap region is identified based on a predetermined priority. Further, the identified inspection level of the overlap region is displayed.
