The acquisition unit accepts a produced sound as input and acquires sound information. The first measurement unit measures a distance from a standard position.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes: an acquiring unit that acquires second raster data generated by reading color sample images formed based on first color sample images of first raster data by an image forming apparatus; a detecting unit that detects a defect present in second color sample images of the second raster data; and a correcting unit that excludes image data of a region where the defect is detected by the detecting unit from the second color sample images, and corrects the color conversion parameters such that a color of each second color sample image formed based on the first raster data by the image forming apparatus comes close to a color corresponding to the first color sample image of the first raster data, based on the second raster data corresponding to a region excluding the region where the defect is detected by the detecting unit, and the first raster data.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes an image capturing section, a marker-image defecting section, a judging section and an output section. The image capturing section captures at least a part of a target image, which includes a plurality of marker images and a recognition target range defined by the plurality of marker images, to acquire a captured image. The marker-image detecting section detects the marker images from the captured image. The judging section judges based on a detection result, whether or not the recognition target range is included in the captured image. When the judging section judges that the recognition target range is not included in the captured image, the output section outputs guidance for capturing the recognition target range.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus captures a target image containing marker images and a recognition target range identified by a marker-image set including at least parts of the marker images. The image processing apparatus includes an image capturing section, a first detection section, a position estimation section and a second detection section. The first detection section detects one marker image as a reference marker image from a captured image. The position estimation section adopts a marker image, which is other than the reference marker image and is contained in at least one of marker-image sets containing the reference marker image, as a corresponding marker image. The position estimation section estimates a position of the corresponding marker image in the captured image based on a size of the detected reference marker image. The second detection section detects the corresponding marker image based on the estimated position of the corresponding marker image.

Abstract: An image processing system integral with an image output unit having a power saving mode comprises a temperature detection section for monitoring a fuser temperature in a power saving mode or a rotation detector for a polygonal motor, a control section for outputting a control signal at a predetermined timing, and an energization control section capable of turning on/off output in response to the control signal from the control section. The timing of a power saving mode off signal output by the control section is when the fuser temperature lowers to a temperature or the polygonal motor take longer to ramp up than the time until the image output unit, after the power saving mode is released, is placed in a reprintable state becomes longer than the time required for setting up the data required when image processing is performed. Thus, the transition time to the copyable state as a whole is used efficiently, and power consumption can be reduced.

Abstract: An image forming device, such as a color copying machine or a color printer, which processes an input image signal, thereby obtains an output image signal, and forms an output image on the basis of the output image signal. In the image forming device, an information input unit writes some information identifying the copying machine to an area in an information storing unit at the time when a power source is turned on for the copying machine for the first time after the assembly thereof. When the power source is turned on for a second and any subsequent times for the copying machine, the copying machine copies an original sheet in such a state of the machine that the information stored in the area of the information storing unit is added to the output image in the form of a pursuit image which it is hard or impossible to recognize with the human eyes.
