<p>An image forming apparatus (100) includes an image forming unit (101Y, 101C, 101M, 101K) that forms an image using an electrophotographic process; a color measuring unit (109) that measures a color of the image; a measured- value acquiring unit (10) that acquires a measured value that is measured by the color measuring unit (109); and a set-value deciding unit (20) that decides a set value related to formation of the image based on a difference between the measured value and a preset target value,
wherein the set-value deciding unit (20) determines the set value so that the image approaches a reference value in a period from a current state of the image to desired state of the image while optimizing a constraint evaluation function related to a constraint condition for the formation of the image by using an estimation equation for approximating time-series variation in a state of the image.</p> |
