Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An image examination apparatus includes a generation unit configured to generate an examination image for examining a read image; an extraction unit configured to extract, from the examination image, multiple reference points used for alignment between the examination and read images; a calculation unit configured to calculate information on misalignment between positions of the reference points and positions corresponding respectively to the reference points in the read image; an excluding unit configured to exclude a reference point from the multiple reference points, based on the information on misalignment; an alignment unit configured to perform alignment between the examination and read images based on the reference points other than the excluded reference point; and an examination unit configured to perform examination for determining whether there is a defect in the read image on the basis of a difference between the read and examination images.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An image examination apparatus, comprising: a read image acquisition unit configured to acquire a read image that is generated by reading an image formed on a recording medium; an examination image generation unit configured to generate an examination image for examining the read image on the basis of information on the image that is to be formed and output; a reference point extraction unit configured to extract, from the generated examination image, mu…
