Aspects of the present disclosure relate to adjusting an illumination of a user depicted in one or more images when using a video conferencing application. In one example, one or more images depicting the user may be received from an image sensor. Further, an illumination of the user depicted in the one or more images may be determined to be unsatisfactory. For example, the user's face may be too bright or too dim. Accordingly, content displayed at a display device may identified and then modified. The modified content may then be rendered to a display device thereby changing the illumination of the user depicted in subsequent images. In examples, the modified content may include a graphical element, such as a ring of a specific color at least partially surrounding content rendered to and displayed at the display device.

A printed matter reviewed by a user is read, and a difference image is generated based on a first image obtained as a result of reading the printed matter and an electronic document that is a printing source from which the printed matter is generated. Based on the difference image, a process is performed to identify an instruction relating to a revision additionally written on the printed matter and a character string to be subjected to the revision in the electronic document. Thereafter, a particular process is executed on the electronic document based on the instruction related to the revision and the character string to which the revision is applied.

An image processing apparatus for inspection of a sheet on which a code image obtained by encoding predetermined information is printed includes: a first acquisition unit which acquires positional information indicating a position and a size of the code image in the sheet; a second acquisition unit which acquires a plurality of read images obtained by a plurality of reading units reading different portions of the sheet, respectively, wherein the read images become an image indicating the entire sheet by being combined; a determination unit which determines whether any one of the read images includes the entire code image based on the positional information; and an extraction unit which extracts the predetermined information by, in a case where there is a read image including the entire code image, reading the code image in that read image.

An image forming apparatus includes a processor configured to: receive paper information on a type of paper on which an image is formed; acquire assist information about assistance to supply the paper by supplying gas to the paper and adjustment information about positioning of the paper after assistance to supply the paper is performed, the assist information and the adjustment information corresponding to the received paper information and relating to transport of the paper; and perform control for storing the paper information, the assist information, and the adjustment information in association with one another into a memory.

An object of the present disclosure is to implement highly accurate image connecting processing between line sensors. One embodiment of the present invention is an image reading apparatus having: a plurality of line image sensors arrayed in a first direction; a conveyance unit configured to convey a document in a second direction intersecting with the first direction; a calculation unit configured to calculate a correction value for correcting a deviation at the time of connecting image data obtained by each of the plurality of line image sensors based on read data obtained by reading a chart with the plurality of line image sensors, on which a plurality of dot patterns is printed and which is conveyed by the conveyance unit; a measurement unit configured to measure an amount of conveyance in the first direction in a case where the document is conveyed in the second direction by the conveyance unit.

An image processing apparatus includes a controller, a display, and a job executor that executes a job at a predetermined setting based on setting information for job execution sent from a terminal device, wherein the controller starts up, an application in response to a startup instruction, generates apparatus information including identification information on the image processing apparatus based on the started application, displays the generated apparatus information on the display for the terminal device, and controls the job executor to output the job at a predetermined setting based on setting information for job execution sent from the terminal device having read the displayed apparatus information, and terminates the application when a termination determination time has elapsed after startup of the application.

An inspection apparatus registers, as a reference image, image data generated based on a print job or image data obtained by scanning a printed sheet. The inspection apparatus sets a determination criterion value used in an inspection of a printed material to determine quality of the printed material and determines, in an inspection method for inspecting the printed material using the registered reference image which is based on image data generated based on a print job, quality of the printed material based on a difference between scanned image data that is obtained by scanning the print material and the registered reference image and on the determination criterion value. The inspection apparatus controls updating of the registered reference image based on a result of the determination.

An image inspection apparatus includes a processor configured to acquire printing data that is data as a base of an image to be printed, acquire read data that is data obtained by reading the image printed on a paper sheet, specify whether or not the printing data or the read data is an image corresponding to any of an image having a periodic structural feature or an image not having a structural feature, in a case where the printing data or the read data corresponds to the image having the periodic structural feature or the image not having the structural feature, perform registration using a position correction amount that is a correction amount for registering an image based on the printing data and an image based on the read data and is calculated for an already printed image, and inspect the image by comparing the printing data with the read data.

An image inspection apparatus includes a processor configured to acquire printing data that is data as a base of an image to be printed, acquire read data that is data obtained by reading the image printed on a paper sheet, perform correction of a blur caused by floating of the paper sheet occurring in the reading of the image, on the read data, and inspect the image by comparing the printing data with the read data after the correction.

A first inspection apparatus registers an image scanned from a print product printed by a first printing apparatus as a first reference image, and registers information of a print job related to printing of the image with the image and first configuration information indicating configuration of the first printing apparatus. A second inspection apparatus imports the first reference image registered in the first inspection apparatus and registers the imported first reference image as the second reference image. Based on information of the print job registered with the first reference image, the first configuration information, and the second configuration information indicating the configuration of the second printing apparatus, it is controlled whether the first reference image is registered as the second reference image by reversing a front and back of the first reference image or as the second reference image without reversing the front and back of the first reference image.
