Abstract
An inspection apparatus comprises an obtaining unit configured to obtain first captured images of printed pages, a first setting unit configured to set an inspection region within a selected captured image selected from the first captured images of the respective pages obtained by the obtaining unit, and a second setting unit configured to perform setting performed on the selected captured image for the first captured image of a page decided based on a result of image analysis on the first captured images of the respective pages obtained by the obtaining unit.
Claims20
An inspection apparatus comprising:
- at least one of (a) one or more processors and a storage medium and (b) circuitry, the at least one of (a) one or more processors and a storage medium and (b) circuitry being configured to act as a plurality of units comprising:
- (1) a first obtaining unit configured to obtain a plurality of reference images;
- (2) a second obtaining unit configured to obtain an inspection target image;
- (3) a setting unit configured to set, for at least one reference image among the plurality of reference images, an inspection region to be inspected;
- and
- (4) an inspection unit configured to inspect the inspection target image based on a result of comparison of the inspection target image and the reference image in which the inspection region is set,
- wherein the setting unit comprises:
- (a) a first setting unit configured to set the inspection region for a first reference image selected from the plurality of reference images;
- and (b) a second setting unit configured to set, for a second reference image which is selected from the plurality of reference images and which is different from the first reference image, the inspection region in a case where the second reference image is an image satisfying a predetermined condition.
An inspection method comprising:
- (1) obtaining a plurality of reference images;
- (2) obtaining an inspection target image;
- (3) setting, for at least one reference image among the plurality of reference images, an inspection region to be inspected;
- and
- (4) inspecting the inspection target image based on a result of comparison of the inspection target image and the reference image in which the inspection region is set,
- wherein the setting comprises:
- (a) setting the inspection region for a first reference image selected from the plurality of reference images;
- and (b) setting, for a second reference image which is selected from the plurality of reference images and which is different from the first reference image, the inspection region in a case where the second reference image is an image satisfying a predetermined condition.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program for causing a computer to function as a plurality of units comprising:
- (1) a first obtaining unit configured to obtain a plurality of reference images;
- (2) a second obtaining unit configured to obtain an inspection target image;
- (3) a setting unit configured to set, for at least one reference image among the plurality of reference images, an inspection region to be inspected;
- and
- (4) an inspection unit configured to inspect the inspection target image based on a result of comparison of the inspection target image and the reference image in which the inspection region is set,
- wherein the setting unit comprises:
- (a) a first setting unit configured to set the inspection region for a first reference image selected from the plurality of reference images;
- and (b) a second setting unit configured to set, for a second reference image which is selected from the plurality of reference images and which is different from the first reference image, the inspection region in a case where the second reference image is an image satisfying a predetermined condition.
