Abstract:
Disclosed is an image information processing apparatus that determines, based on image information, a region suitable for inspecting image forming performance of an image forming apparatus in an entire region of an image represented by the image information. The image information processing apparatus includes a segment region extraction unit that extracts a segment region having a predetermined size from the entire region of the image; a color reproducibility prediction unit that predicts a result of color reproducibility of the entire image by using an algorithm in a case where the image forming performance is adjusted based on a color measurement result of the extracted segment region; and an object region determination unit that determines, as an object region, the segment region showing a best one of the plural results obtained by repeatedly performing extraction processing by the segment region extraction unit and prediction processing by the color reproducibility prediction unit.
