Abstract:
An image forming apparatus that is capable of finding density of an output image with high accuracy even if reflectance of an image bearing member varies. A conversion unit converts image data based on a conversion condition. An image forming unit forms an image based on the converted image data. A measurement unit measures irregular reflection light from a measurement image on the image bearing member. A controller controls the image forming unit to form measurement images, controls the measurement unit to measure irregular reflection light from an area on the image bearing member where the measurement images are not formed, controls the measurement unit to measure the irregular reflection light from the measurement images, selects a measurement result from among measurement results of the measurement images based on the measurement result of the area, and generates the conversion condition based on the selected measurement result.

Claim (Index 5):
An image forming apparatus that forms an image on a sheet, the image forming apparatus comprising:\n a conversion unit configured to convert image data based on a conversion condition; an image forming unit configured to form an image based on the converted image data; an image bearing member; a measurement unit configured to measure irregular reflection light from a measurement image on the image bearing member; and a controller configured to control the image forming unit to form a plurality of measurement images based on measurement image data, to control the measurement unit to measure irregular reflection light from an area on the image bearing member where the plurality of measurement images are not formed, to control the measurement unit to measure the irregular reflection light from the plurality of measurement images, to select a measurement result used for generating the conversion condition from among measurement results of the plurality of measurement images based on the measurement result of the area, and to generate the conversion condition based on the selected measurement result.
