Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to evaluate a performance of each of a plural combinations of processes, each combination including a series of processes, the plural combinations being included in plural processes, the series of processes being configured to be performed on an image, the performance being evaluated on a basis of a result of performing the series of processes on a test image for each combination, and output an evaluation result for at least two combinations.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An information processing apparatus comprising
a processor configured to
evaluate a performance of each of a plurality of combinations of processes, each combination including a series of processes, the plurality of combinations being included in a plurality of processes, the series of processes being configured to be performed on an image, the performance being evaluated on a basis of a result of performing the series of processes on a test image for each combination, and
output an evaluation result for at least two combinations,

wherein the processor is configured not to output the evaluation result for processes that do not meet an output condition, among the plurality of processes.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the processor is configured not to evaluate the performance for processes that do not meet an evaluation condition, among the plurality of processes.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,
wherein the processor is configured to determine whether or not the evaluation condition is met using existing information on processes, the performance of which has been evaluated, among the plurality of processes.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 ,
wherein the processor is configured to determine that processes, the result of which does not reach a determined criterion, among the plurality of processes, do not meet the evaluation condition.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 ,
wherein the processor is configured to select a combination of processes, the evaluated performance of which meets a selection condition determined in advance, among the plurality of combinations of processes, and process an actual image.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,
wherein the processor is configured to determine that a combination of processes, the performance of which was evaluated previously, among the plurality of processes, does not meet the evaluation condition.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 ,
wherein the processor is configured to determine that processes, the result of which does not reach a determined criterion, among the plurality of processes, do not meet the evaluation condition.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 7 ,
wherein the processor is configured to select a combination of processes, the evaluated performance of which meets a selection condition determined in advance, among the plurality of combinations of processes, and process an actual image.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 ,
wherein the processor is configured to select a combination of processes, the evaluated performance of which meets a selection condition determined in advance, among the plurality of combinations of processes, and process an actual image.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,
wherein the processor is configured to determine that processes, the result of which does not reach a determined criterion, among the plurality of processes, do not meet the evaluation condition.

11. The information processing apparatus according to claim 10 ,
wherein the processor is configured to select a combination of processes, the evaluated performance of which meets a selection condition determined in advance, among the plurality of combinations of processes, and process an actual image.

12. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 ,
wherein the processor is configured to select a combination of processes, the evaluated performance of which meets a selection condition determined in advance, among the plurality of combinations of processes, and process an actual image.

13. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,
wherein the processor is configured to select a combination of processes, the evaluated performance of which meets a selection condition determined in advance, among the plurality of combinations of processes, and process an actual image.

14. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the processor is configured to determine that processes, the performance of which was evaluated previously, among the plurality of processes, do not meet the output condition.

15. The information processing apparatus according to claim 14 ,
wherein the processor is configured to determine that processes, the result of which does not reach a determined criterion, among the plurality of processes, do not meet the output condition.

16. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the processor is configured to determine that processes, the result of which does not reach a determined criterion, among the plurality of processes, do not meet the output condition.

17. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the processor is configured to select a combination of processes, the evaluated performance of which meets a selection condition determined in advance, among the plurality of combinations of processes, and process an actual image.

18. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the processor is configured to evaluate the performance of the series of processes included in each combination using an actual image as the test image in a case where a performance obtained by processing the actual image is low compared to the evaluated performance.
