Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus for use with a printed substrate, the image processing apparatus comprising: a first imaging device configured to receive light reflected from a portion of multiple patches of a colorbar on the printed substrate and configured to process color data from the light reflected from the portion of multiple patches of the colorbar; and a second imaging device configured to receive light reflected from the printed substrate and configured to process spatial information from the light, wherein the first imaging device is configured to acquire a first image of a portion of the printed substrate and is configured to process the color data from the first image using a first processing circuit of the first imaging device, wherein the second imaging device is configured to acquire a second image, wherein the second image comprises the first image acquired from the same portion of the printed substrate at the same time as the first imaging device, and wherein the second imaging device is configured to process spatial information from the second image using a separate second processing circuit of the second imaging device.
