Inspection system, inspection apparatus, control method therefor, and storage medium that execute inspection by comparing an image of a printed material and a reference image

An inspection apparatus that executes an inspection by comparing an image of a printed material printed by a printing apparatus and a reference image, the inspection apparatus comprising:

• one or more memory devices that store a set of instructions;
• and
• one or more processors that execute the set of instructions:
• to extract, from an image of the printed material, a region corresponding to a content type on a basis of content information of the reference image, the content type indicating attribution of an image of the printed material;
• to set an inspection level based on a corresponding content type for each extracted region
• to present, to a user, the extracted region and the set inspection level, associated with the reference image;
• and
• to inspect the extracted region using the reference image and the set inspection level.

An inspection apparatus that executes an inspection by comparing an image of a printed material printed by a printing apparatus and a reference image, the inspection apparatus comprising:

• one or more memory devices that store a set of instructions;
• and
• one or more processors that execute the set of instructions:
• to set a predetermined inspection level for a region corresponding to a predetermined content type in an image of the printed material on a basis of content information of the reference image, the content type indicating attribution of an image;
• and
• to inspect the region using the reference image and the set inspection level.

A control method for controlling an inspection apparatus that executes an inspection by comparing an image of a printed material printed by a printing apparatus and a reference image, the control method comprising:

• extracting, from an image of the printed material, a region corresponding to a content type on a basis of content information of the reference image, the content type indicating attribution of an image of the printed material;
• setting an inspection level based on a corresponding content type for each extracted region;
• presenting, to a user, the extracted region and the set inspection level, associated with the reference image;
• and
• inspecting the extracted region using the reference image and the set inspection level.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program for causing a computer to execute a control method for controlling an inspection apparatus that executes an inspection by comparing an image of a printed material printed by a printing apparatus and a reference image, the control method comprising:

• extracting, from an image of the printed material, a region corresponding to a content type on a basis of content information of the reference image, the content type indicating attribution of an image of the printed material,
• setting an inspection level based on a corresponding content type for each extracted region,
• presenting, to a user, the extracted region and the set inspection level, associated with the reference image;
• and
• inspecting the extracted region using the reference image and the set inspection level.
