An image inspection apparatus includes an image reader that reads an original image formed on a recording material based on a print job and generates a read image, and a hardware processor that analyzes the read image and performs an image inspection, wherein the hardware processor: acquires the read image from the image reader, detects an edge from the read image, and excludes a region near the edge from a target of the image inspection; performs a predetermined filter process on the read image after the exclusion process to generate a first reference image; compares the read image after the exclusion process with the first reference image to generate a first comparison image; and binarizes the first comparison image using a predetermined threshold to detect points where a specific abnormality has occurred, and outputs a detection result.
An image inspection apparatus comprising a hardware processor that acquires a read image obtained by reading a recording material on which an image is formed, compares the read image with a reference image, calculates a circularity for a region where a difference is extracted by comparison, and detects, based on the calculated circularity, a region in which a degree of circularity indicating a closeness to a true circle exceeds a predetermined value as an abnormality in the read image,
