Abstract:
An image processing apparatus includes a reading unit and a correction information output unit. The reading unit acquires a saddle-stitched surface picture by reading a saddle-stitched surface of a saddle-stitched booklet formed through folding and stapling processes performed by a saddle-stitching device, and acquires a cover surface picture by reading a cover surface of the saddle-stitched booklet. The correction information output unit outputs correction information about a stapling position to the saddle-stitching device. The correction information is calculated on the basis of a difference between a cover-side fold line position on the cover surface picture, which is specified on the basis of a saddle stitch-side fold line position detected from the saddle-stitched surface picture, and a staple position detected from the cover surface picture.

Claim (Index 4):
The image processing apparatus according to  claim 3 ,\n wherein, prior to the reading process performed by the reading unit, the printing unit prints a first misregistration detection mark for detecting positional misregistration between the first mark pair and the second mark pair on the saddle-stitched surface, and prints a second misregistration detection mark on the cover surface at a same position as that of the first misregistration detection mark on the saddle-stitched surface, the saddle-stitched surface picture includes a first misregistration detection mark image corresponding to the first misregistration detection mark, and the cover surface picture includes a second misregistration detection mark image corresponding to the second misregistration detection mark, and the image processing apparatus further comprises a mark image position adjustment unit that, in a case where there is a difference between a first distance to the first misregistration detection mark image from a paper edge that is parallel to the fold line detected from the saddle-stitched surface picture and a second distance to the second misregistration detection mark image from a paper edge that is parallel to the fold line detected from the cover surface picture, adjusts a position of either the first mark image pair or the second mark image pair in a direction that is perpendicular to the fold line on a basis of the difference between the first distance and the second distance, prior to specifying the cover-side fold line position.
