  • Patent number: 9235790
    Abstract: A recording material processing device, includes: an accumulation unit that is accumulated with a plurality of recording materials each of which is a recording material formed with an image by an image forming unit and inspected by an inspection unit, where the image forming unit that forms the image on the recording material based on original image data; and a processing unit that removes the recording material which was determined to have a defect which occurred in the image by the inspecting unit, among the plurality of recording materials and adds a new recording material on which a same image is formed by the image forming unit, to the plurality of recording materials, the same image being based on the original image data of the image formed on the defective recording material.

  • Publication number: 20140285830
    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.

  • Publication number: 20120249573
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes an image receiving unit, a screen-information receiving unit, a pixel-block extraction unit, a halftone-dot extraction unit, and a halftone-dot adding unit. The image receiving unit receives an image. The screen-information receiving unit receives screen information concerning screening which has been performed on the received image. The pixel-block extraction unit extracts pixel blocks which are possibly halftone dots included in the received image. The halftone-dot extraction unit extracts, on the basis of the screen information, a pixel block which is a halftone dot among the pixel blocks extracted by the pixel-block extraction unit. The halftone-dot adding unit adds, on the basis of the screen information, a halftone dot at a position at which no pixel block has been extracted by the pixel-block extraction unit.

  • Patent number: 8099384
    Abstract: An operation procedure extrapolating system includes a history recording unit, a sort unit and an extrapolating unit. The history recording unit records history records of processes that at least one image processing apparatus is instructed to perform in a series of operation procedures. Each history record includes operator information, time information, content information and an object image. The sort unit sorts the history records into sets defined for individual operations, based on a comparison among the object images of the recorded history records. The extrapolating unit extrapolates operation procedures in at least one of the individual operations, based on the content information of the history records included in the set defined for the at least one of the individual operations and a sequence of the operator information of the history records included in the set defined for the at least one of the individual operations.

  • Patent number: 8077977
    Abstract: An image processing system includes an area extracting unit, an area relation extracting unit, a relation analyzing unit and an image display unit. The area extracting unit extracts areas from an input image. The area relation extracting unit extracts a relation between the areas extracted by the area extracting unit. The relation analyzing unit analyzes the relation between the areas extracted by the area relation extracting unit. The image display unit displays the image in accordance with an analysis result by the relation analyzing unit.

  • Patent number: 8041117
    Abstract: An image processing system includes an image input section, a first character-extracting section, a second character-extracting section and a synthesizing section. The image input section inputs images which are linked to each other in time series manner. The first character-extracting section extracts a character from a first image input by the image input section. The second character-extracting section extracts a character from a second image input by the image input section. The synthesizing section generates a character string in accordance with the character extracted by the first character-extracting section and the character extracted by the second character-extracting section.
