Abstract:
A color verification apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention uses a color measuring instrument to measure an estimation object in a printed matter including a RIP image formed by an image forming apparatus and thereby acquires a measured color value of the estimation object. The color verification apparatus calculates an estimated color value of a color verification target object from the measured color value of the estimation object and a conversion coefficient. The color verification apparatus performs color verification on the color verification target object in the printed matter based on the estimated color value of the color verification target object and a theoretical color value of the color verification target object when it is determined that color measurement is unavailable to the color verification target object.

Claim (Index 2):
The color verification apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising:\n an estimation object candidate list generator that extracts an estimation object candidate and generates a list on condition that the estimation object candidate is comparable to an object belonging to objects included in the RIP image, maintains uniform color values, and completely covers a color measuring aperture of a color measuring instrument, wherein the estimation object list generator determines whether a theoretical color value of the color verification target object is included in a space based on a device-independent color system including theoretical color values of four estimation object candidates selected from an estimation object candidate list generated by the estimation object candidate list generator and, when a theoretical color value of the color verification target object is included in a space based on the device-independent color system including theoretical color values of the four estimation object candidates, extracts the four estimation object candidates as the estimation objects, and generates the estimation object list; and wherein the conversion coefficient calculator calculates an interpolation coefficient in order to find a theoretical color value of the color verification target object from theoretical color values of the four estimation objects by using interpolation and identifies the interpolation coefficient as the conversion coefficient.
