IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18135234 Titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an image processing apparatus that is capable of detecting and correcting density unevenness in printed images caused by ink nozzle issues. The apparatus includes a unit that obtains a density unevenness image, which shows the uneven density caused by a faulty nozzle in a row of nozzles used for printing. It also includes a determination unit that analyzes the feature amount of each image and the density unevenness image to determine if the printing position needs to be adjusted. In simpler terms, this apparatus can identify and fix printing issues caused by faulty ink nozzles.
Original Abstract Submitted
An image processing apparatus comprises an obtainment unit configured to obtain a density unevenness image in which uneven density caused by a nozzle in a nozzle row for discharging ink occurs in an image for printing, and a determination unit configured to determine whether a printing position of the image for printing needs to be moved based on a feature amount in each of the image for printing and the density unevenness image.
