Abstract:
An apparatus includes: a unit that provides an instruction on creasing and folding positions on paper set such that the distance between fold crease and fold line positions is meaningful; a unit that acquires a read image by reading paper that has been subjected to creasing and folding processes in accordance with the creasing and folding positions in an open state; a unit that analyzes the read image to detect two streaks corresponding to the fold crease and the fold line from the read image, and that specifies the position of one of the two streaks as the fold crease position and the position of the other as the fold line position on the basis of the creasing and folding positions; and a unit that outputs correction information about at least one of the creasing and folding positions such that the fold crease and fold line positions match each other.

Claim (Index 1):
An image processing apparatus comprising:\n a post-process instruction unit that provides a post-processing device that executes a creasing process and a folding process with an instruction on a creasing position and a folding position on paper, the creasing position and the folding position being set such that a distance between a position of a fold crease formed by the creasing process and a position of a fold line formed by the folding process is a meaningful distance; a reading unit that acquires a read image by reading paper that has been subjected to the creasing process and the folding process which are executed by the post-processing device in accordance with the creasing position and the folding position, the instruction on which is provided by the post-process instruction unit, in an open state; an image analysis unit that analyzes the read image to detect two streaks corresponding to the fold crease and the fold line from the read image, and that specifies a position of one of the two streaks as a fold crease position and a position of the other as a fold line position on a basis of the creasing position and the folding position, the instruction on which is provided by the post-process instruction unit; and a correction information output unit that outputs, to the post-processing device, correction information about at least one of the creasing position and the folding position which are set by the post-process instruction unit such that the fold crease position and the fold line position which are specified match each other.
