Abstract:
The spectral colorimetry apparatus includes an LED, a diffraction grating; a line sensor that has multiple pixels and that receives light dispersed by the diffraction grating at the multiple pixels for respective wavelengths of the dispersed light and outputs voltages according to the intensity of the received light; and a sensor CPU that calculates spectral reflectivity of an object based on the intensity of light reflected from the object. The sensor CPU varies, with the multiple pixels, the number of detection times of detecting the light reflected from the object at each pixel.

Claim (Index 17):
An image forming apparatus comprising:\n a forming unit configured to form a measurement image on a recording material as an object; a fixing unit configured to fix the measurement image formed by the forming unit on the recording material; a spectral colorimetry apparatus provided downstream of the fixing unit in a conveyance direction of the recording material, the spectral colorimetry apparatus configured to perform colorimetry on the measurement image fixed by the fixing unit onto the recording material; and a control unit configured to control an image forming condition based on a result of the colorimetry performed by the spectral colorimetry apparatus, the spectral colorimetry apparatus comprising: a light source configured to emit light to an object; a spectral unit configured to disperse the light reflected from the object; and a line sensor having pixels, the line sensor configured to receive the light dispersed by the spectral unit at the pixels for respective wavelengths to output a voltage according to intensity of the light received, wherein the control unit performs control to vary a number of detection times to detect the object per pixels.
