Abstract
An inspection apparatus performs dropout color processing on a first inspection area set for an image generated by reading a print product and then performs first recognition processing on the first inspection area, and further performs second recognition processing on a second inspection area set for the image and then performs an inspection of whether sufficient margin areas are allocated on the second inspection area, without performing dropout color processing.
Claims11
An inspection apparatus comprising:
- at least one memory that stores instructions;
- and
- at least one processor that executes the instructions to:
- perform dropout color processing on a first inspection area set for an image generated by reading a print product and then perform first recognition processing for recognizing a character on the first inspection area;
- and
- perform second recognition processing for decoding a code included in a second inspection area set for the image on the second inspection area and then perform an inspection as to whether a margin area is sufficiently allocated around the code, without performing the dropout color processing,
- wherein the code included in the second inspection area is a barcode or a two-dimensional code.
4 more elements
An inspection apparatus comprising:
- at least one memory that stores instructions;
- and
- at least one processor that executes the instructions to:
- perform dropout color processing on an input image of an inspection area to generate an image having been subjected to the dropout color processing;
- detect a position of a code image in a case where the code image is included in an inspection area set for the image having been subjected to the dropout color processing;
- determine whether a margin area is sufficiently present around the detected position of the code image in the input image;
- and
- record an insufficiency of the margin area in a case where it is determined that the margin area is not sufficiently present.

An inspection method comprising:
- performing dropout color processing on an input image of an inspection area to generate an image having been subjected to the dropout color processing;
- detecting a position of a code image in a case where the code image is included in an inspection area set for the image having been subjected to the dropout color processing;
- determining whether a margin area is sufficiently present around the detected position of the code image in the input image;
- and
- recording an insufficiency of the margin area in a case where it is determined that the margin area is not sufficiently present.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores a program, wherein the program causes a processor to:
- perform dropout color processing on a first inspection area set for an image generated by reading a print product and then perform first recognition processing for recognizing a character on the first inspection area;
- and
- perform second recognition processing for decoding a code included in a second inspection area set for the image on the second inspection area and then perform an inspection as to whether a margin area is sufficiently allocated around the code, without performing dropout color processing,
- wherein the code included in the second inspection area is a barcode or a two-dimensional code.
