Inspection apparatus, method of controlling inspection apparatus, and storage medium

A method of controlling an inspection apparatus, the method comprising:

• performing a process depending on a type of each of blocks extracted from a reference image to be used for inspection settings in a case of inspecting a printed sheet, and obtaining a character string and coordinates indicating a position of the character string for each block;
• automatically comparing, with respect to similarity, the character string obtained from the reference image with a correct character string by using a Levenshtein distance between the character string obtained from the reference image and the correct character string to determine whether the character string obtained from the image corresponds to the correct character string;
• associating, with the correct character string, the coordinates indicating the position of the character string determined as corresponding to the correct character string;
• setting a setting regarding an inspection area to be inspected in the printed sheet based on the coordinates associated with the correct character string in the associating;
• and
• inspecting an image obtained by reading the printed sheet to be inspected, based on the setting regarding the inspection area set in the setting.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to perform a method of controlling an inspection apparatus, the method comprising:

• performing a process depending on a type of each of blocks extracted from a reference image to be used for inspection settings in a case of inspecting a printed sheet, and obtaining a character string and coordinates indicating a position of the character string for each block;
• automatically comparing, with respect to similarity, the character string obtained from the reference image with a correct character string by using a Levenshtein distance between the character string obtained from the reference image and the correct character string to determine whether the character string obtained from the image corresponds to the correct character string;
• associating, with the correct character string, the coordinates indicating the position of the character string determined as corresponding to the correct character string;
• setting a setting regarding an inspection area to be inspected in the printed sheet based on the coordinates associated with the correct character string in the associating;
• and
• inspecting an image obtained by reading the printed sheet to be inspected, based on the setting regarding the inspection area set in the setting.
