Abstract: A processor determines an image defect in a test image obtained through an image reading process performed on an output sheet output by an image forming apparatus. The processor creates an image to be processed including a horizontal line, extending in a horizontal direction, extracted from the test image. Furthermore, the processor determines the presence or absence of at least one periodicity set in advance in a vertical direction in the image to be processed and determines the cause of the horizontal line according to the determination result on the periodicity.

Abstract: A processor determines a cause of an image defect based on a test image that is obtained through an image reading process performed on an output sheet output from an image forming device. The processor generates an extraction image by extracting, from the test image, a noise point that is a type of image defect. Furthermore, the processor determines a cause of the noise point by using at least one of, in the extraction image: an edge strength of the noise point; a degree of flatness of the noise point; and a pixel value distribution of a transverse pixel sequence that is a pixel sequence traversing the noise point.

Abstract: An anomaly detecting unit detects an anomaly object in a target image. A characteristic amount watching unit watches at least two basic characteristic amounts of the anomaly object, determines whether values of the basic characteristic amounts satisfy a predetermined watching determination condition of any one of predetermined plural anomaly types or not, if it is determined that the values of the basic characteristic amounts satisfy the watching determination condition, determines as an auxiliary characteristic amount for the anomaly object a characteristic amount corresponding to the anomaly type of which the values of the basic characteristic amounts satisfy the watching determination condition, and starts watching a value of the auxiliary characteristic amount. An anomaly type determining unit determines an anomaly type of the anomaly object on the basis of the basic characteristic amounts and the auxiliary characteristic amount currently watched by the characteristic amount watching unit.

Abstract: The image processing apparatus includes: an abnormality detection unit configured to detect one or more abnormalities included in a target image and an abnormality exclusion processing unit configured to exclude a specific abnormality from the detected one or more abnormalities. In a case in which a detection area of a certain abnormality among the detected one or more abnormalities and a detection area of another abnormality overlap with each other and a type of the certain abnormality and a type of the another abnormality are different from each other, when brightness information of one of the certain abnormality and the another abnormality satisfies a specific condition, the abnormality exclusion processing unit excludes the one of the certain abnormality and the another abnormality from the detected one or more abnormalities.

Abstract: A processor identifies a specific part composed of a plurality of significant pixels in a mixed-color test image. Furthermore, the processor identifies a color vector. The color vector represents a vector in a color space from one of a color of the specific part in the mixed-color test image and a color of a reference area including a periphery of the specific part to the other. Furthermore, the processor determines which of a plurality of image creating portions of an image forming device corresponding to a plurality of developing colors, is a cause of an image defect, based on the color vector identified from the mixed-color test image.

Abstract: A processor determines a cause of an image defect based on a test image that is obtained through an image reading process performed on an output sheet output from an image forming device. The processor extracts a vertical stripe part extending along a sub scanning direction in the test image. Furthermore, the processor determines which of predetermined two types of cause candidates is a cause of the vertical stripe part, based on a distribution of a pixel value sequence along a main scanning direction that crosses the sub scanning direction, in a target part including the vertical stripe part in the test image.

Abstract: A processor identifies an original drawing part that is originally drawn in a test image. Furthermore, the processor identifies a noise point in the test image. Furthermore, the processor determines which of predetermined two types of cause candidates is a cause of the noise point by determining a degree of overlapping between the original drawing part and the noise point. The two types of cause candidates are: waste toner dropping in which waste toner that has adhered to a transfer body that transfers a toner image to a sheet, is transferred to the sheet in the image forming device; and carrier developing in which magnetic carrier that has been mixed with toner is transferred to a sheet.

Abstract: A vector generation unit derives a reference feature vector and a document feature vector. A feature quantity extraction unit performs a dimensionality reduction process on the reference feature vector and the document feature vector so as to set a dimensional value as a first feature quantity and derives a cosine similarity between the reference feature vector and the document feature vector as a second feature quantity. A grid division unit classifies documents into first partial regions obtained by dividing a feature quantity space of the first feature quantity, and classifies the documents into second partial regions obtained by dividing a range of the second feature quantity. A training data extraction unit selects, for each combination of a first partial region and a second partial region, a document classified in both the partial regions and sets documents selected with respect to all combinations as training data.
