CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

The present application claims priority from Japanese Patent Application No. 2019-034556 filed on Feb. 27, 2019, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.

BACKGROUND

The technology relates to an image judging system that judges an image formed by an image forming apparatus, to an image judging apparatus, and to an image judging method.

Some image forming apparatuses maintain quality of a formed image by adjusting an image formation condition. For example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2017-132126 discloses an image forming apparatus that receives an image of a color chart from an external device and adjusts a color print density on the basis of the received image.

SUMMARY

It is desired for an image forming apparatus to have high quality in a formed image, and further improvement in image quality is expected.

It is desirable to provide an image judging system, an image judging apparatus, and an image judging method that allow for improvement in image quality.

According to one embodiment of the technology, there is provided an image judging system that includes a server and a mobile terminal. The mobile terminal performs communication between the server and the mobile terminal. The server includes a position calculating unit that calculates a position of an image of interest in a whole image data and a position of a first landmark image in the whole image data. The whole image data is obtained on the basis of a judging target image. The judging target image is provided on a recording medium and includes a plurality of landmark images and the image of interest. The first landmark image is one, of the landmark images, corresponding to the image of interest. The mobile terminal includes an imaging unit that captures an image of the judging target image and thereby generates image data. The server or the mobile terminal includes a guide information generating unit that detects the first landmark image in the image data, and calculates a position of a guide mark on the basis of a positional relationship and a position of the first landmark image in the image data. The positional relationship is a positional relationship between the image of interest in the whole image data and the first landmark image in the whole image data. The guide mark is to be disposed in the image data and relative to the image of interest. The mobile terminal includes a display unit that displays the image data and the guide mark together. The imaging unit generates related image data after the display unit displays the guide mark. The related image data is related to the judging target image.

According to one embodiment of the technology, there is provided an image judging apparatus that includes a position calculating unit, an imaging unit, a guide information generating unit, and a display unit. The position calculating unit calculates a position of an image of interest in a whole image data and a position of a first landmark image in the whole image data. The whole image data is obtained on the basis of a judging target image. The judging target image is provided on a recording medium and includes a plurality of landmark images and the image of interest. The first landmark image is one, of the landmark images, corresponding to the image of interest. The imaging unit captures an image of the judging target image and thereby generates image data. The guide information generating unit detects the first landmark image in the image data, and calculates a position of a guide mark on the basis of a positional relationship and a position of the first landmark image in the image data. The positional relationship is a positional relationship between the image of interest in the whole image data and the first landmark image in the whole image data. The guide mark is to be disposed in the image data and relative to the image of interest. The display unit displays the image data and the guide mark together. The imaging unit generates related image data after the display unit displays the guide mark. The related image data is related to the judging target image.

According to one embodiment of the technology, there is provided an image judging method including: calculating a position of an image of interest in a whole image data and a position of a first landmark image in the whole image data, the whole image data being obtained on the basis of a judging target image, the judging target image being provided on a recording medium and including a plurality of landmark images and the image of interest, the first landmark image being one, of the landmark images, corresponding to the image of interest; capturing an image of the judging target image and thereby generating image data; detecting the first landmark image in the image data; calculating a position of a guide mark on the basis of a positional relationship and a position of the first landmark image in the image data, the positional relationship being a positional relationship between the image of interest in the whole image data and the first landmark image in the whole image data, the guide mark being to be disposed in the image data and relative to the image of interest; displaying the image data and the guide mark together; and generating related image data after the displaying of the guide mark, the related image data being related to the judging target image.
