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 7):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 5 , wherein the predetermined measurement image includes a first measurement image, a second measurement image, and a third measurement image,\n wherein a density level of the first measurement image is lower than a density level of the second measurement image, wherein the density level of the second measurement image is lower than a density level of the third measurement image, wherein the controller determines a reference value based on the measurement result of the area, wherein the controller selects the measurement results of the first, second, and third measurement images in a case where the reference value is less than a first threshold, and wherein the controller selects the measurement results of the second and third measurement images without selecting the measurement result of the first measurement image in a case where the reference value is more than the first threshold and is less than a second threshold that is more than the first threshold.
