  • Patent number: 11977980
    Abstract: An information processing method includes the following executed by a computer: acquiring a first image and object data of an object appearing in the first image, extracting a portion of the first image that corresponds to a difference between the object data and an object detection result obtained by inputting the first image to a trained model, the trained model receiving an image as input to output an object detection result, acquiring a second image that includes a portion corresponding to the same object data as object data corresponding to the extracted portion of the first image, reflecting an image based on the extracted portion of the first image in the portion of the acquired second image that corresponds to the same object data, and generating training data for the trained model.

  • Publication number: 20200195789
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an image processing apparatus includes a damaged file determiner, a response unit, and a file restoration unit. The damaged file determiner determines whether or not a file used in the image processing apparatus is damaged. The response unit requests another device to provide a recovery file to be used to restore the damaged file and obtain the recovery file from another image processing apparatus, when it is determined that the file is damaged. The file restoration unit restores the damaged file by using the recovery file.

  • Patent number: 10194043
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, a detection apparatus for detecting a decoloration ink image includes an image reading unit, a decoloration unit, and a controller. The controller acquires image data using the image reading unit before decoloration that is the image data on the sheet before decoloration processing is executed by the decoloration unit. In addition, the controller determines whether or not there is a difference between the image data to be decolored and the decolored image data, thereby determining whether or not the decoloration ink is used in the sheet.
