Abstract:
An image processing apparatus includes a scanning unit configured to scan at least one of two surfaces of a printed material on both of which information is printed and to obtain a density image representing intensity distribution of diffuse reflection light from the scanned surface and a gloss image representing intensity distribution of specular reflection light from the scanned surface, a mask image generating unit configured to generate a mask image for the scanned surface based on the obtained gloss image, and a show-through removing unit configured to perform mask processing on the density image using the generated mask image to generate a show-through-removed image that does not include show-through information for the scanned surface.
Abstract:
An image inspecting apparatus includes a first light illuminating unit that irradiates a measured object on which an image is formed with illuminating light from a diagonal direction; an imaging unit that receives specular light of the illuminating light with which the measured object is irradiated by the first light illuminating unit; and an image inspecting unit that inspects the image. The image inspecting unit generates gloss reference data from density distribution data included in print data used for forming the image by using a converting unit. The image inspecting unit inspects a gloss distribution of the image by using the gloss reference data and a gloss distribution of the image that is generated based on an amount of the specular light received by the imaging unit.
Abstract:
An image evaluation program is implemented in an image evaluation apparatus to evaluate a dot of an image that is reproduced on a support medium by an imaging apparatus and formed by a plurality of dots having a predetermined dimension arranged in a main scanning direction and a sub scanning direction. The image evaluation apparatus produces image signals at a resolution at least twice as high as a dot resolution of the image, and the image evaluation program is arranged to measure a dot position of each dot in the image.
