Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a memory and at least one processor or circuitry or a combination thereof. The memory is configured to store determination conditions. The at least one processor or circuitry or the combination thereof is configured to acquire image data and extract a feature element from the image data. The at least one processor or circuitry or the combination thereof is further configured to determine whether the extracted feature element satisfies conditions defined in the determination conditions. The at least one processor or circuitry or the combination thereof is further configured to set an area with reference to an extracted feature element satisfying the conditions based on the determination conditions. The at least one processor or circuitry or the combination thereof is further configured to set an attribute of the area based on the determination conditions.

Abstract: An inspecting device includes a read image acquirer configured to acquire a first read image that is obtained by reading a printed matter; a reference image generator configured to generate a reference image based on a source image from which the printed matter has been generated; an inspector configured to inspect the printed matter based on threshold information containing one or more types of thresholds and based on a difference image indicating a difference between the first read image and the reference image; an identifier configured to identify, on the printed matter, an area having a discrepancy between an inspection result and a result of visual check by a user; and a changer configured to change the threshold information to resolve the discrepancy in the area.

Abstract: An image inspection apparatus is provided for inspecting an image output on a recording medium by scanning the output image. The image inspection apparatus includes an inspection reference image generator to obtain an output-target image print data, and to generate an inspection reference image using the output-target image print data, an inspection result acquisition unit to acquire a result of a defect determination based on a difference between the generated inspection reference image and the read image, a restriction-on-disclosure process unit to change, based on restriction-on-disclosure positional information, which indicates a restricted area in the read image that should be restricted when displayed, a value of a pixel in the restricted area, when a defect is detected in the read image, to generate a corrected image, and an information transmission unit to transmit the corrected image through a network.
