Abstract: A developing device includes a development unit, a developer amount detector, an accuracy requirement determiner, and a detection count setting unit. The development unit includes a developer container configured to store a developer. The development unit is configured to supply the developer from the developer container to a latent image bearer, on which an electrostatic latent image is to be formed according to image data, to form a developer image. The developer amount detector is configured to detect a developer amount in the toner container of the development unit in every detection period. The accuracy requirement determiner is configured to a determine accuracy requirement required as a detection accuracy of the developer amount by the developer amount detector. The detection count setting unit is configured to set a number of times of detection of the developer amount by the developer amount detector based on the accuracy requirement.

Abstract: An image transforming device transforms a part of a captured image of an object based on a predetermined type of transformation. The image transforming device includes an obtaining unit that obtains the captured image of the object, a detecting unit that detects characteristic information from the captured image of the object, a grid point setting unit that sets grid points for the captured image, and setting movement information of the grid points based on the control points and the movement information of the control points, and an image transforming unit that transforms an image area by moving the grid points based on the movement information of the grid points.
