Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To form an image which faithfully reproduces a subject to be picked up while reducing the amount of data of spectral reflectance. SOLUTION: In an image forming apparatus, spectral reflectance is calculated in a wavelength region ranging 380 to 780 mm to be a visible light region and represented as a spectral reflectance estimation function by a linear combination of a specific vector and a coefficient with respect to the specific vector, and processing such as image forming processing is performed on the basis of the spectral reflectance estimation function in a middle wavelength region ranging 400 to 700 mm excluding a low wavelength region ranging 380 to 400 mm and a high wavelength region ranging from 700 to 780 mm. Values of stimulus values x(λ), y(λ), and z(λ) are distributed all over the visible light region and a ratio by which these contribute to the low wavelength region and high wavelength region is very small. Therefore, when a spectral reflectance estimation function is obtained with respect to all over the visible light region, a difference between the spectral reflectance estimation function in the middle wavelength region to be actually used for processing and an original spectral reflectance of the subject can be made smaller.

Abstract:
PURPOSE:To quantify and detect continuously a degree of decoloration without intervention of a worker by irradiating a white light to the surface of a steel sheet and obtaining tristimulus values in accordance with the reflected light and obtaining a whiteness index or color difference value from tristimulus values. CONSTITUTION:A running steel sheet 10 is irradiated with a white light source 14, and the reflected light is separated into spectral components by a reflecting diffraction grating 20, and these spectral components are detected simultaneously in a visible wavelength area by a parallel photodetector array 22. The detected signal is given to an analog/digital operation processing device 24, and tristimulus values X, Y, and Z are obtained from the given signal in the device 24, and a whiteness index W or a color difference DELTAE is operated in accordance with these values X, Y, and Z to convert them to information of a degree of decoloration. Thus, the worker finds the occurrence condition of the degree of decoloration on a basis of the output result of the degree of decoloration and prevents the occurrence of decoloration.

CONSTITUTION:The reflected light of a specimen is incident to a spectroscope 18 through a pervious specimen chamber 16 by the light from a light source 14. The spectroscope 18 divides the reflected light into lights classified by wavelength component through a diffraction lattice 19 to allow said lights to irradiate a photodiode array 20. The reflectivity at every wavelength received by the photodiode array 20 is inputted to an operation circuit 21 and three stimulation values X, Y, Z are calculated according to JISZ8722. Further, the operation circuit 21 calculates the density value of each color from three stimulation values X, Y, Z according to a specific formula.

Abstract:
The invention reduces a variation of a result of image inspection by alleviating a burden on the user relating to designation of an extracted color. An image inspection device displays a color image of an inspection target object, receives designation of at least a foreground region, and extracts a foreground color and a background color as color information from the foreground region and a background region, respectively. The image inspection device calculates a distance between a color of each pixel of the color image and the foreground color in a color space, and generates a foreground distance image. Similarly, the image inspection device forms a background distance image. The image inspection device inspects the inspection target object using a foreground-background image created by combining the foreground distance image and the background distance image.
