摘要： An image processing apparatus includes a light source, an image sensor, and an invisible component remover. The light source emits visible component light and invisible component light to a target object. The image sensor receives reflected light from the target object to detect a visible invisible mixture image including an invisible component and a visible component and an invisible image including an invisible component. The invisible component remover, based on the visible invisible mixture image and the invisible image which have been detected, removes the invisible component from the visible invisible mixture image to generate a visible image. The invisible component remover includes a removal calculator performing a removal calculation process of an invisible component with respect to the visible invisible mixture image, and a noise reducer performing a noise reduction process on at least one of images to be input to and output from the removal calculator.

摘要： A position detecting device includes circuitry. The circuitry is configured to control a reading device to detect, as a first detection result, an outer shape of a processing subject and a position of an image pattern on the processing subject; control the reading device to detect, as a second detection result, a mark arranged on a position reference member, the mark corresponding to a predetermined position in the reading device; and detect a first correction value of the reading device and a second correction value of the reading device corrected by the first correction value on basis of the second detection result and reflect the first correction value and the second correction value to the first detection result to correct a processing position in the processing subject.

摘要： A signal processing circuit includes a generator, a transmission unit, a control unit, and a mode selector. The generator generates a process-required signal. The transmission unit transmits the process-required signal to a unit disposed after the transmission unit. The control unit supplies respective control signal to the generator and transmission unit. The control unit includes a reference clock generator constantly operated for generating a reference clock signal when the signal processing circuit is operated. The mode selector selects and shifts an operating mode of the signal processing circuit between a first mode and a second mode. In the first mode, the generator and transmission unit are supplied with respective normal control signal from the control unit for a normal operation. In the second mode, the generator is supplied with a control signal different from the normal control signal, and the transmission unit is supplied with the same normal control signal.
