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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18614440 titled 'INSPECTION APPARATUS, INSPECTION SYSTEM, INSPECTION METHOD AND STORAGE MEDIUM

The abstract describes an inspection system for printed materials that can detect both image defects and data defects. The system uses an inspection apparatus to compare an inspection image of the printed material with a reference image to identify image defects, and also compares specific data extracted from the inspection image with correct data to detect data defects.

  • The inspection system can detect image defects by comparing inspection images with reference images.
  • It can also identify data defects by comparing specific data extracted from the inspection image with correct data.
  • The system provides a comprehensive approach to quality control in printed materials.
  • By addressing both image and data defects, the system ensures a high level of accuracy in inspection processes.
  • This innovation can improve the overall quality and reliability of printed materials.

Potential Applications: - Quality control in printing processes - Inspection of printed materials in industries such as packaging, publishing, and manufacturing

Problems Solved: - Detection of image defects in printed materials - Identification of data defects in printed materials - Ensuring high accuracy in inspection processes

Benefits: - Improved quality control in printing processes - Enhanced accuracy in detecting defects in printed materials - Increased reliability of inspection systems

Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Inspection System for Printed Materials This technology can be used in industries such as packaging, publishing, and manufacturing to ensure the quality and accuracy of printed materials. It can help companies improve their quality control processes and enhance the reliability of their products.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the inspection system compare inspection images with reference images to detect image defects? 2. What are the potential applications of this technology in the printing industry?


Original Abstract Submitted

In an inspection system of a printed material, it is made possible to deal with both an image defect and a data defect. An inspection apparatus performing inspection of a printed material output from a printing apparatus detects an image defect by collating an inspection image, which is to be inspected, obtained by reading the printed material with a reference image taken as a reference of the inspection, which corresponds to the printed material. Furthermore, the inspection apparatus detects a data defect by collating specific data extracted from the inspection image with correct data corresponding to the specific data set in advance.
