Abstract:
An evaluation device includes a projector to project a pattern having an edge component onto an object, an imaging device to capture an image of the object, a reflective-property correction unit to correct an amount of change in shape of a virtual image of the pattern reflected in the object, using reflective-property data of a surface of the object, and an evaluation-value calculator to evaluate image clarity of the surface of the object based on the corrected amount of change. A computer-readable non-transitory recording medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a method. The method includes correcting an amount of change in shape of a virtual image of the pattern reflected in the object based on image data that is obtained by capturing an object onto which a pattern having an edge component is projected, using reflective-property data of a surface of the object.

Claim (Index 7):
The evaluation device according to  claim 1 , further comprising:\n a binarizing unit configured to binarize lightness image data with a prescribed threshold based on the spectral image data to obtain a number for an amount of change in shape of an edge of the pattern; an edge-component linear approximation unit configured to calculate an approximate straight line for shape-changing positions of edges of the binarized lightness image data; a deviation calculator configured to calculate changes in edge with reference to the approximate straight line; a frequency characteristics calculator configured to calculate frequency characteristics of the changes in edge; a visual-character correction unit configured to assign a weight to the frequency characteristics of the changes in edge using data that reflects characteristics of human visual perception; and an integration calculator configured to integrate the weighted frequency characteristics, wherein the imaging device captures the image of the object using a spectral camera an image converter configured to convert the image of the object into spectral image data using first spectral data obtained by capturing the image of the object and second spectral data obtained by capturing an image of a reference whiteboard, wherein the reflective-property correction unit corrects an integrated value of the object.
