US 11,455,129 B2 · Image processing apparatus, method of controlling the same, verification apparatus, method of controlling the same, and storage medium that display a defective image in which a defective area is emphasized and is not emphasized

Abstract

An image processing apparatus includes a printer that prints an image on a sheet, a scanner that reads an image on a sheet, and one or more controllers configured to cause the scanner to read an image on a sheet, to cause a display to display the image, to receive an instruction for adopting an image serving as a candidate for a correct image from the displayed image, to generate the correct image based on the image serving as the candidate, to register the correct image, and to cause the scanner to read an image printed on a sheet and to verify the printed image based on the read image and the registered correct image. When a defective image is in the read image, the display displays the defective image in which a defective area is emphasized and the defective image in which the defective area is not emphasized.
