    摘要: An image inspection apparatus includes: a storage that stores output image data used in forming an image on a paper sheet; a conveyor that conveys the paper sheet; a reader that reads the image during conveyance, and generates read image data; a determiner that compares pixels in the read image data with corresponding pixels in the output image data, and determines whether the read image data matches the output image data; a circulator that circulates the paper sheet, and returns the paper sheet to the reader; and a controller that controls the circulator to circulate the paper sheet and return the paper sheet to the reader when a mismatch is detected by the determiner, wherein the reader generates circulated read image data when the paper sheet is circulated and conveyed, and the determiner determines whether the image is normal or abnormal depending on the result of comparison.

    摘要: The systems and methods described herein include an approach to performing quality assessment for 3-D printed objects during the printing process, for collecting data regarding 3-D printed objects, and for capturing data to make a digital model of an object. This approach uses sensor data (e.g., digital imagery) to characterize printing progress or to detect 3-D printing defects that would otherwise result in printing incomplete objects, such as premature printing job termination, dry printing, over/under application, movement of the filament, and other defects. Sensor data capturing can also be used as part of a destructive scanning process to perform post-printing object assessment or to collect data on a real-world object to facilitate creation of a digital model. These systems and methods may leverage the discrete nature of a pixel provided through digital imagery to be assessed with limited computational resources in a non-recursive manner.

    摘要: A terminal device includes: an acquiring unit that acquires image information; a displaying unit that displays the image information acquired by the acquiring unit; a receiving unit that receives an analysis position of image-quality unevenness from the image information displayed by the displaying unit; a detecting unit that detects pitch information by performing frequency analysis of the image information received by the receiving unit; a controlling unit that controls the displaying unit to display the pitch information detected by the detecting unit; and a storing unit that stores, as history information, the image information and the pitch information in association with the analysis position. The controlling unit controls the displaying unit to display the analysis position stored in the storing unit.
