Abstract
An inspection apparatus configured to inspect a print product obtained by an image forming apparatus performing print on a recording sheet, includes one or more controllers having one or more processors and one or more memories. The one or more controllers are configured to acquire an image and information about a non-print region as a region in which no image is printed on the recording sheet by the image forming apparatus, register an image having been processed based on the information about the non-print region, as a correct answer image, and inspect, in response to acquiring a scan image obtained by scanning the print product with an image printed on the recording sheet, the scan image based on the correct answer image.
Claims10
An inspection apparatus configured to inspect a print product obtained by an image forming apparatus performing print on a recording sheet, the inspection apparatus comprising:
- one or more controllers having one or more processors and one or more memories, the one or more controllers being configured to:
- acquire an image and information about a non-print region as a region in which no image is printed on the recording sheet by the image forming apparatus;
- perform registration to register an image having been processed based on the information about the non-print region, as a correct answer image;
- inspect, in response to acquiring a scan image obtained by scanning the print product with an image printed on the recording sheet, the scan image based on the correct answer image;
- receive a first image generated by an image processing apparatus configured to perform image generation through image processing, the inspection apparatus being communicably connected to the image processing apparatus;
- and
- generate a second image from the first image based on size information for the print product printed by the image forming apparatus,
- wherein, in the registration, the second image is registered as the correct answer image.
A method for controlling an inspection apparatus configured to inspect a print product obtained by an image forming apparatus performing print on a recording sheet, the method comprising:
- acquiring information about a non-print region as a region in which no image is printed on the recording sheet by the image forming apparatus;
- processing an image based on the information about the non-print region;
- performing registration to register the processed image as a correct answer image;
- inspecting, in response to acquiring a scan image obtained by scanning the print product with an image printed on the recording sheet, the scan image based on the correct answer image;
- receiving a first image generated by an image processing apparatus configured to perform image generation through image processing, the inspection apparatus being communicably connected to the image processing apparatus;
- and
- generating a second image from the first image based on size information for the print product printed by the image forming apparatus,
- wherein, in the registration, the second image is registered as the correct answer image.
