Color measuring device, image forming apparatus, image forming method, and computer-readable storage medium

摘要

A color measuring device include an illuminating unit configured to illuminate an image-capturing range; an image capturing unit configured to capture an image of the image-capturing range containing a patch and an object; an extracting unit configured to extract image data of a surrounding region in a predetermined color from the image data output by the image capturing unit; an interpolating unit configured to interpolate at least one target region that is at least one of regions of the patch and the object based on the image data of the surrounding region; a storage unit configured to store therein, as correction data, interporting data that is interporated; a correcting unit configured to correct the image data output by the image capturing unit by using the correction data; and a calculating unit configured to calculate a colorimetric value of the object based on the corrected image data.

1. An image capturing device comprising:
a reference chart including a plurality of patches; an image capturing unit configured to capture an image of an image-capturing range containing the reference chart and an object outside of the image capturing device, and to output two-dimensional image data of the image; an illuminating unit configured to illuminate the image-capturing range of the image capturing unit; an extracting unit configured to extract a background region of the patches of the reference chart from the two-dimensional image data output by the image capturing unit, the background region being in a predetermined color; an interpolating unit configured to interpolate image data regions of the patches in the two-dimensional image data output by the image capturing unit by assuming that the regions of the patches are in the predetermined color; a storage unit configured to store therein, as correction data, interpolating data that is interpolated by the interpolating unit; a correcting unit configured to correct the image data output by the image capturing unit by using the correction data; and a calculating unit configured to calculate a colorimetric value of the object based on the image data of the regions of the patches and image data of a region of the object contained in the image data corrected by the correcting unit.
