Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to an image sensor. The image sensor includes a color filter array, a pixel array, and a plurality of analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). The ADCs convert the analog pixel signal obtained by pixels corresponding to first color filters into a digital pixel signal based on a first bit precision and to convert the analog pixel signal obtained by pixels corresponding to second color filters and third color filters into a digital pixel signal based on a second bit precision. The second bit precision is lower than the first bit precision.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus for inspection of a sheet on which a code image obtained by encoding predetermined information is printed includes: a first acquisition unit which acquires positional information indicating a position and a size of the code image in the sheet; a second acquisition unit which acquires a plurality of read images obtained by a plurality of reading units reading different portions of the sheet, respectively, wherein the read images become an image indicating the entire sheet by being combined; a determination unit which determines whether any one of the read images includes the entire code image based on the positional information; and an extraction unit which extracts the predetermined information by, in a case where there is a read image including the entire code image, reading the code image in that read image.
