Image processing device, image processing system, image processing method, and control program

Abstract

To provide an image processing device, an image processing system, an image processing method, and a control program capable of improving convenience for a user.SOLUTION: An image processing device comprises: a setting unit which sets a profile including a setting value of each of setting items designated by a user; an acquisition unit which acquires an input image obtained by imaging a medium; an identifying unit which identifies a plurality of pieces of feature information related with each of the setting items in the input image; a determination unit which compares the pieces of feature information in the input image with information based on the setting value of each of the setting items included in the set profile and thereby determines whether the profile corresponds to the feature of the input image; and a control unit which when it is not determined that the profile corresponds to the feature of the input image, reports information on a determination result to the user or stops image generation processing performed by a device having generated the input image.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 8

Claims

1. A computer control program, A profile is set that includes setting values ​​for each of the specified settings related to imaging, image processing, or transport processing. The medium captures an input image, If, by comparing the multiple feature information associated with each of the multiple setting items in the input image with information based on the setting values ​​for each of the multiple setting items included in the set profile, it is determined that the profile does not match the characteristics of the input image, then information regarding a recommended profile is notified, or the image generation process by the device that generated the input image is stopped. A control program characterized by causing the computer to perform the following action.

2. The control program according to claim 1, wherein the setting value for each of the plurality of setting items included in the set profile is used as information based on the setting value for each of the plurality of setting items included in the set profile.

3. The control program according to claim 2, wherein the degree of fit between the plurality of feature information in the input image and the setting value for each of the plurality of setting items included in the set profile is greater than or equal to a threshold, thereby determining whether the set profile fits the features of the input image.

4. Furthermore, obtain the plurality of feature information in past images generated in the past according to the set profile, The control program according to claim 1, wherein the plurality of feature information in the past image is used as information based on the setting values ​​for each of the plurality of setting items included in the set profile.

5. Furthermore, the plurality of feature information in a plurality of past images generated in the past according to the set profile is obtained, The control program according to claim 4, wherein the set profile is determined to match the characteristics of the input image by comparing the plurality of feature information in the input image with the plurality of feature information in the plurality of past images.

6. The control program according to claim 4 or 5, wherein it is determined whether the set profile fits the characteristics of the input image based on whether the degree of agreement between the plurality of feature information in the input image and the plurality of feature information in the past image is above a threshold.

7. The control program according to claim 4 or 5, further comprising the determination of whether the set profile matches the characteristics of the input image based on the result of comparing the date and time the input image was generated with the date and time the past image was generated.

8. After notifying the user of information regarding the recommended profile, the user is asked to indicate whether the set profile is correct or not. The control program according to claim 1, wherein, if it is specified that the set profile is correct, the weight of any of the multiple setting items that is determined not to match the feature information in the input image with the information regarding the setting value included in the set profile is reduced in subsequent determinations.

9. Furthermore, obtain multiple profiles, The control program according to claim 1, wherein the set profile is determined to match the characteristics of the input image based on the results of comparing the plurality of feature information in the input image with information based on the setting values ​​for each of the plurality of setting items included in each of the plurality of profiles.

10. The control program according to claim 9, which, as information regarding the recommended profile, notifies the user of information regarding the profile among the plurality of profiles that best matches the plurality of feature information in the input image.

11. A setting unit that sets a profile including setting values ​​for each of a plurality of setting items related to imaging processing, image processing, or transport processing, An acquisition unit that acquires an input image captured on a medium, A control unit, which, when it is determined that the profile does not match the characteristics of the input image, by comparing the multiple feature information related to each of the multiple setting items in the input image with information based on the setting values ​​for each of the multiple setting items included in the set profile, notifies the user of information about a recommended profile or stops the image generation process by the device that generated the input image, An image processing apparatus characterized by having

12. An image processing system having an image reading device and an information processing device, Either the image reading device or the information processing device has a setting unit that sets a profile including setting values ​​for each of a plurality of setting items related to the specified imaging process, image processing, or transport process. Either the image reading device or the information processing device has an acquisition unit that acquires an input image on which a medium has been photographed. Either the image reading device or the information processing device has a control unit that, when it determines that the profile does not match the characteristics of the input image by comparing the multiple feature information related to each of the multiple setting items in the input image with information based on the setting values ​​for each of the multiple setting items included in the set profile, notifies the user of information about a recommended profile or stops the image generation process by the device that generated the input image. An image processing system characterized by the following:

13. A profile is set that includes setting values ​​for each of a plurality of setting items related to the specified imaging process, image processing, or transport process, The medium captures an input image, If, by comparing the multiple feature information associated with each of the multiple setting items in the input image with information based on the setting values ​​for each of the multiple setting items included in the set profile, it is determined that the profile does not match the characteristics of the input image, then information regarding a recommended profile is notified, or the image generation process by the device that generated the input image is stopped.
