Abstract
Provided is an image forming apparatus including: a hardware processor that adds a reference pattern for alignment to image data; an image former; and a reader. The hardware processor generates the reference pattern in a shape identifiable by the hardware processor regardless of a resolution of an inspection image, and executes comparison inspection between the inspection image based on a read image and a reference image.
Claims15
An image inspection apparatus, comprising:
- a hardware processor that adds a reference pattern for alignment to image data;
- an image former that forms, on a recording medium, an image based on the image data to which the reference pattern has been added;
- a reader that reads the image formed on the recording medium to generate a read image, wherein
- the hardware processor generates, during image inspection, the reference pattern in a shape identifiable by the hardware processor regardless of a resolution of an inspection image, and executes comparison inspection between the inspection image based on the read image and a reference image.
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing an image inspection program to be executed by an image inspection apparatus, the image inspection program causing a computer to execute:
- adding a reference pattern for alignment to image data;
- forming, on a recording medium, an image based on the image data to which the reference pattern has been added;
- reading the image formed on the recording medium to generate a read image;
- and
- inspecting in which comparison inspection between an inspection image based on the read image and a reference image is executed, wherein
- the adding includes generating the reference pattern in a shape identifiable by the image inspection apparatus regardless of a resolution of the inspection image during image inspection.
An image inspection method which is used by an image inspection apparatus, the image inspection method comprising:
- adding a reference pattern for alignment to image data;
- forming, on a recording medium, an image based on the image data to which the reference pattern has been added;
- generating a read image by reading the image formed on the recording medium;
- and
- executing comparison inspection between an inspection image based on the read image and a reference image, wherein
- the adding includes generating the reference pattern in a shape identifiable by the image inspection apparatus regardless of a resolution of the inspection image during image inspection.
