  Exemplary embodiments of an image processing apparatus, an image processing method, and an image processing program according to the present invention are explained in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an overall configuration of an image processing system 1 according to the embodiment. The image processing system 1 includes a scanner 100, an image processing apparatus 101, a first printer 102, a second printer 103, and a third printer 104. The scanner 100 reads the first printed material 111 and the second printed material 112 that are the targets for detecting misalignment, and obtains a first printed image and a second printed image that are converted into data. The image processing apparatus 101 acquires the first print image and the second print image from the scanner 100, and creates a misalignment display image that visualizes the misalignment between the two print images. Further, a displacement amount indicating the degree of displacement between the first print image and the second print image is calculated, and processing to be assigned to the displacement display image is determined according to the displacement amount. Examples of the processing for the misalignment display image include output to the first printer 102, the second printer 103, or the third printer 104. The first to third printers 102 to 104 each print a misalignment display image. The process assigned to the misalignment display image will be described later.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a functional configuration of the image processing apparatus 101. The image processing apparatus 101 includes a print image acquisition unit 201, a misregistration detection unit 202, a misregistration display image creation unit 203, a misregistration determination unit 204, an output processing switching unit 208, and an output processing unit 209. ing. The positional deviation determination unit 204 includes a scanning condition determination unit 205, a scanning unit 206, and an evaluation unit 207. The output processing unit 209 includes a first output processing unit 210, a second output processing unit 211, and a third output processing unit 212.

  The print image acquisition unit 201 acquires a print image from the scanner 100. Specifically, a first print image obtained by converting the first print product 111 to be subjected to misregistration detection into data and a second print image obtained by converting the second print product 112 into data are acquired. The misregistration detection unit 202 binarizes the first print image and the second print image. Specifically, a certain lightness is set as a threshold, pixels brighter than this are set as white, and dark pixels are set as black. Then, it is checked whether or not the corresponding pixels of the binarized first print image and the second print image match. Then, a pixel value indicating a matching state is assigned to each pixel. As a state of coincidence, there are a state in which both coincide with each other in white or black, a state in which one is black and the other is white, or vice versa.

  The misregistration detection unit 202 has a pixel value determination table for determining a pixel value to be allocated based on the matching state, and determines a pixel value to be allocated to each pixel with reference to the pixel value determination table. . FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a data configuration of a pixel value determination table included in the misregistration detection unit 202. As described above, in the pixel value determination table, the pixel of the first print image and the pixel of the second print image to be processed are associated with the pixel value to be assigned. The misregistration detection unit 202 assigns a pixel value “a” to a pixel in which both the first print image and the second print image are black. The pixel value “b” is assigned to the pixel in which the pixel of the first print image is black and the pixel of the second print image is white. A pixel value “c” is assigned to a pixel in which the pixel of the first print image is white and the pixel of the second print image is black. Also, a pixel value “d” is assigned to a pixel in which both the pixels of the first print image and the pixels of the second print image are white.

  The misalignment display image creation unit 203 creates a misalignment display image based on the pixel values assigned by the misalignment detection unit 202. The misalignment display image creation unit 203 has a display color determination table, and creates a misalignment display image from the pixel values assigned by the misalignment detection unit 202 with reference to the display color determination table. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a data configuration of the display color determination table. Thus, in the display color determination table, each pixel value assigned by the misregistration detection unit 202 and the display color are associated with each other.

  The misalignment display image creation unit 203 refers to the display color determination table and displays, for example, pixels assigned with the pixel value “a” in green. In this way, the misalignment display image creation unit 203 creates a misalignment display image expressed in a color determined according to the matching state of the first print image and the second print image with reference to the display color determination table. To do.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a misalignment display image. As shown in FIG. 5, a pixel (a) in which both the first print image and the second print image are black, a pixel (b) in which the first print image is black and the second print image is white, the first An image in which different colors are assigned to the pixel (c) in which the print image is white and the second print image is black and the pixel (d) in which both the first print image and the second print image are white Created as a misalignment display image.

  The positional deviation determination unit 204 calculates a deviation amount indicating the degree of positional deviation based on the positional deviation display image created by the positional deviation display image creation unit 203. Then, the misalignment display images are classified into a plurality of groups based on the misalignment amount. Then, different processing is assigned to the misalignment display image for each group to which the misalignment display image belongs.

  In the present embodiment, the misregistration determination unit 204 displays the misregistration display image in the first group and the second group corresponding to three misregistration amounts of “no deviation”, “slight deviation”, and “clear deviation”. Classify into groups and third groups. Then, the misalignment display images belonging to the first group are output to the first output processing unit 210 to perform the first output processing. The misalignment display images belonging to the second group are output to the second output processing unit 211 to perform the second output process. The misalignment display images belonging to the third group are output to the third output processing unit 212 to perform the third output processing.

  FIGS. 6A and 6B are diagrams for explaining the processing of the misregistration determination unit 204. For example, as shown in FIG. 6A, when characters overlap, it is determined that there is a slight shift. Also, as shown in FIG. 6B, when the characters are completely separated, it is determined that there is an obvious shift. If the characters match completely, it is determined that there is no deviation. In order to make such a determination, the misalignment determination unit 204 sets a scan frame 500 as shown in FIG. 7 for the misalignment display image, and installs the scan frame 500 at arbitrary intervals from the edge of the image. . Then, referring to the pixel values included in the scanning frame 500 as shown in FIG. 8, the degree of deviation is calculated. Specifically, when pixel values “b” and “c” exist and “a” exists, it is determined that there is a slight deviation, and at least one of the pixel values “b” and “c” exists. And when “a” does not exist, it is determined that the difference is clear. Further, it is determined that there is no deviation when the pixel values “a” and “d” exist and “b” and “c” do not exist.

  The positional deviation determination unit 204 includes a scanning condition determination unit 205, a scanning unit 206, and an evaluation unit 207 as a configuration for performing the above processing. The scanning condition determination unit 205 determines a scanning condition that is a condition related to the scanning frame. The scanning conditions are conditions such as the size of the scanning frame and the scanning interval for installing the scanning frame. The scanning condition determination unit 205 determines the size of the scanning frame and the scanning interval based on the size of the circumscribed rectangle of the connected component of the predetermined color of the misalignment display image. Specifically, the size of the circumscribed rectangle of the character of the minimum font in the character string included in the misalignment display image is determined as the size of the scanning frame. Furthermore, for example, a length of 1/10 of the length and width of the circumscribed rectangle of the character of the minimum font is determined as the vertical and horizontal scanning intervals. It is also possible to set a threshold for ignoring the influence of noise and change the judgment criterion for deviation by performing threshold processing.

  The scanning unit 206 scans the scanning frame on the misaligned display image according to the scanning condition determined by the scanning condition determining unit 205. The evaluation unit 207 calculates the degree of misalignment by the processing described with reference to FIG. 8 in each scanning frame set by the scanning by the scanning unit 206, and combines these to calculate the misalignment display image misalignment amount. calculate. Then, the evaluation unit 207 determines a process to be assigned to the misalignment display image based on the misalignment amount. Specifically, an output processing number for identifying an output processing unit that performs processing on the misalignment display image is assigned. For example, the evaluation unit 207 has an output destination determination table in which a deviation amount and an output process number are associated with each other, and specifies an output process number associated with the deviation amount with reference to the output destination determination table.

  In the present embodiment, when the deviation amount is “no deviation”, an output processing number for identifying the first output processing unit 210 is assigned. In the case of the deviation amount “slight deviation”, an output processing number for identifying the second output processing unit 211 is assigned. In the case of the deviation amount “apparent deviation”, an output processing number for identifying the third output processing unit 212 is assigned.

  The output process switching unit 208 acquires the misalignment display image from the misalignment display image creation unit 203 and acquires the output process number from the misalignment determination unit 204. The output processing switching unit 208 displays the misalignment display image for any of the output processing units identified by the output processing number, that is, the first output processing unit 210, the second output processing unit 211, and the third output processing unit 212. Output. The output process switching unit 208 corresponds to an assigning unit.

  The first output processing unit 210, the second output processing unit 211, and the third output processing unit 212 of the output processing unit 209 output misalignment display images to different output destinations. The first output processing unit 210 outputs a misalignment display image to the first printer 102. The second output processing unit 211 outputs a misalignment display image to the second printer 103. The third output processing unit 212 outputs a misalignment display image to the third printer 104. The first output processing unit 210, the second output processing unit 211, and the third output processing unit 212 also perform different image processing processes on the misalignment display image.

  With the above configuration, the misalignment display image determined to have no misalignment is printed by the first printer 102 via the first output processing unit 210. The misalignment display image determined to be slightly misaligned is printed by the second printer 103 via the second output processing unit 211. The misalignment display image determined to be an obvious misalignment is printed by the third printer 104 via the third output processing unit 212. In this way, different processes are performed depending on the amount of deviation.

  For example, a printout of a misalignment display image that has been printed by the third printer 104 and is determined to be a clear misalignment is handed over to an unskilled person and visually confirmed by the unskilled person. Here, the unskilled person is a person who has little experience in visual confirmation processing and is not used to visual confirmation. Furthermore, the printed matter of the misalignment display image that is determined to be a slight misalignment printed by the second printer 103 is handed over to an expert and visually confirmed by the expert. Here, the expert is a person who has a long experience in the eye confirmation process and can make an accurate judgment even for a slight deviation. In this way, since different printers output data depending on the amount of deviation, the skilled person visually confirms only the misalignment display image determined to be a slight deviation that is difficult to judge, and the judgment by visual confirmation is relatively easy. Further, it is possible to cause a non-expert to perform a visual confirmation process on the misalignment display image determined to be an obvious deviation, and to improve the efficiency of the visual confirmation process.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing image processing by the image processing apparatus 101. First, the first output processing unit 210 acquires a first print image and a second print image from the scanner 100 (step S101). Next, the misregistration detection unit 202 detects misregistration between the first print image and the second print image acquired by the print image acquisition unit 201 (step S102). Next, the misalignment display image creation unit 203 creates a misalignment display image based on the misalignment state detected by the misalignment detection unit 202 (step S103).

  Next, the misalignment determination unit 204 determines the amount of misalignment of the misalignment display image based on the misalignment display image (step S104). Specifically, the misalignment display image creation unit 203 calculates a shift amount and specifies an output processing number that identifies an output processing unit as an output destination according to the shift amount. Next, the output processing switching unit 208 determines the output processing unit identified by the output processing number as the output destination of the misalignment display image, and outputs the misalignment display image to the output processing unit as the output destination. (Step S105). The output processing units 210 to 212 of the output processing unit 209 pass the misalignment display image to the corresponding printer, and each printer outputs the misalignment display image.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing detailed processing of the positional deviation determination processing (step S104). In the misregistration determination process (step S104), the scanning condition determination unit 205 first determines a scanning condition based on the font of the minimum character in the misalignment display image (step S201). Next, the scanning unit 206 performs scanning of the scanning frame in the misalignment display image according to the scanning condition determined by the scanning condition determining unit 205 (step S202). Next, the evaluation unit 207 calculates the degree of deviation in each scanning frame, and calculates the amount of deviation of the misalignment display image from the degree of deviation of each scanning frame (step S203). Then, the evaluation unit 207 identifies an output processing number based on the amount of positional deviation, and outputs this to the output processing switching unit 208. This completes the positional deviation determination process.

  As a modification of the image processing system 1 according to the present embodiment, the output processing unit may output a misalignment display image not only to the printer but also to a storage unit such as an HDD. For example, a misalignment display image determined to be an obvious misalignment, that is, a misalignment display image belonging to the third group has a low need for visual confirmation. Therefore, the misalignment display image is displayed in the storage unit via the third output processing unit 212. It may be stored together with the information “Yes”. And it is good also as performing a visual confirmation process collectively later.

  In addition, as a second modification example, in the misalignment display image determined to be an obvious misalignment, since the visual confirmation is relatively easy, when the misalignment display image is printed, the pixel values a and b , D need not be clearly different in color. Note that b and c are represented by the same color. Therefore, in general, it is desirable to use a combination of three colors that are clearly distinguishable visually by human eyes in the misalignment display image. However, for misalignment display images determined to be obvious misalignment, for example, magenta, A combination of three colors of cyan and blue combining these two colors may be assigned. As a result, printing by the printer can be performed using only two toners of magenta and cyan. By giving such processing to the output processing unit, the types of toner can be reduced. Since the printer maintenance fee often changes depending on how many toners are used, the maintenance cost can be reduced.

  As a third modification, the image processing apparatus 101 may directly acquire image data from the outside instead of the print image obtained from the printed material by the scanner 100.

  As a fourth modification, the output processing units 210 to 212 may simply output the misalignment display images to different printers and do not need to perform processing such as image processing.
