There is provided an image forming apparatus which shortens the time taken for circumference detection and measures the circumference at high precision without obstructing downsizing of the apparatus. To accomplish this, the image forming apparatus detects, at an arbitrary timing, the physical pattern of the image-formed surface of a rotation member that changes over time. In the second round, the image forming apparatus detects the second pattern at a timing a predetermined time after the arbitrary timing. By using the detected patterns, the image forming apparatus obtains information associated with the circumference of the rotation member.

The image recording apparatus comprises: a recording head which has a plurality of recording elements; a conveyance device which causes the recording head and a recording medium to move relatively to each other by conveying at least one of the recording head and the recording medium; a characteristics information acquisition device which acquires information that indicates recording characteristics of the recording elements; a correction object recording element specification device which specifies a correction object recording element from among the plurality of recording elements, a density non-uniformity caused by the recording characteristic of the correction object recording element being corrected; a correction range setting device which sets N correction recording elements (where N is an integer larger than 1) from among the plurality of recording elements, the N correction recording elements being used in correction of output density; a correction coefficient specification device which calculates the density non-uniformity caused by the recording characteristic of the correction object recording element, and specifies density correction coefficients for the N correction recording elements according to correction conditions that reduce a low-frequency component of a power spectrum representing spatial frequency characteristics of the calculated density non-uniformity; a correction processing device which performs calculation for correcting the output density by using the density correction coefficients specified by the correction coefficient specification device; and a drive control device which controls driving of the recording elements according to correction results produced by the correction processing device.

Cone Beam Breast CT (CBBCT) is a three-dimensional breast imaging modality with high soft tissue contrast, high spatial resolution and no tissue overlap. CBBCT-based computer aided diagnosis (CBBCT-CAD) technology is a clinically useful tool for breast cancer detection and diagnosis that will help radiologists to make more efficient and accurate decisions. The CBBCT-CAD is able to: 1) use 3D algorithms for image artifact correction, mass and calcification detection and characterization, duct imaging and segmentation, vessel imaging and segmentation, and breast density measurement, 2) present composite information of the breast including mass and calcifications, duct structure, vascular structure and breast density to the radiologists to aid them in determining the probability of malignancy of a breast lesion.

An image forming apparatus that is capable of generating highly accurate read timing of a patch image, thereby achieving highly accurate density adjustment and improving color stability. A patch image for color adjustment is read in read timing generated when a trigger bar is detected. The patch image and the trigger bar that are to be read by a color sensor are formed on a transfer material. Image formation is executed by a printer controller in an image forming condition set differently for the trigger bar and for the patch image.

An image adjustment method for an image forming apparatus in which an adjustment image is formed by transferring a plurality of reference images formed by a color component to be the reference among a plurality of color components and a plurality of images to be adjusted, which are formed by other color component to be adjusted, onto a transfer medium so that the images to be adjusted are superposed on the reference images, the density of the formed adjustment image is detected, and an image forming position of the other color component to be adjusted is adjusted based on the detected density of the adjustment image. The density of the surface of the transfer medium is detected, and the position of forming the image to be adjusted is adjusted, based on the detected density of the surface of the transfer medium and the detected density of the adjustment image.

An infrared gas detector for detecting a density of a sample gas includes an infrared light sensor for detecting the density of the sample gas under an influence of water vapor based on an intensity of received infrared light of a specific wavelength, and a humidity sensor for detecting an absolute humidity of the water vapor in the sample gas based on an intensity of the received infrared light of the specific wavelength. The density of the sample gas is determined by correcting for the influence of the water vapor included therein based on the absolute humidity in the sample gas detected by the humidity sensor.
