Abstract: Provided is an information processing apparatus capable of preventing erroneous detection of an abnormality even in a case where a region other than an inspection target region appears in an image of an object or even in a case where the appearance of the object may partially vary because of the nature of the object. An information processing apparatus includes: a generating section that acquires an image and generates a reconstructed image based on the image; an identification section that identifies an inspection target region in the image based on the image; and a calculation section that calculates a difference in the inspection target region between the image and the reconstructed image.

Abstract: An inkjet recording device including: inkjet head having a pressure chamber; a first pressure source to adjust ink energy per unit volume to generate “energy per unit volume” P1(Pa) relative to static ink at an atmospheric pressure at a nozzle opening height; a second pressure source to adjust ink energy per unit volume to generate “energy per unit volume” P2(Pa) relative to static ink; and a hardware processor. The first pressure source, pressure chamber, and second pressure source are connected in this order by a flow path. Assuming that a pressure loss occurring from the first pressure source to the nozzle due to circulation flow rate is ΔPa, a proportionality constant of a differential pressure (P1−P2) and ΔPa is “a”, and an appropriate pressure in vicinity of the nozzle opening is Pn, the hardware processor controls pressure to establish P2={Pn−(1−a)P1}/a.

Abstract: Method for acquiring local gonio-reflection characteristics of an image which is aggregation of dots. Sensory glossiness (L) of the image determined by equation (1) is 1.0 or more. The sensory glossiness (L) is determined based on a height of a peak (H), a height of a base (B) and a half width of a peak (W) of a distribution information of lightness with respect to light receiving angle, obtained by measuring reflected light of a measuring light irradiated into the image. The local gonio-reflection characteristics is acquired with a spatial resolution (A) for acquiring the local gonio-reflection characteristics and a resolution (B) which represents a distribution information of the dots within a region where the sensory glossiness (L) being 1.0 or more, satisfying formula (2).
L=Log((H−B)/W) Equation (1)
