Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes an output image reading portion that reads an image of a physical document. The physical document includes a desired print image and a line image. The apparatus further includes a line image detecting portion that detects the line image at a predetermined position of the physical document using the image, a line image analyzing portion that determines a line width of the line image, a line-width correction value determining portion that compares the determined line width to a preliminarily set line-width threshold value and determines a line-width correction value based on the comparison, and a line-width correcting portion that performs line width correction on a to be formed line image based on the line-width correction value.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus 1 obtains displacement amounts of patterns formed on front and back sides of a recording sheet respectively, and performs correction of an image formation position based on the displacement amounts. The image processing apparatus 1 calculates the lengths of the sides of each of the front and back sides of a recording sheet by detecting the intersection points of the surrounding edges of the recording sheet with reference to the image data of the each of the front and back sides. A magnification error is calculated based on the lengths of the sides corresponding between the front and back sides. A correction amount is then calculated based on the calculated magnification error in order to make the lengths of each side match each other. Displacement amounts of the positions of the patterns is obtained after correction based on the correction amount.
