Method and apparatus for correcting image formation using fuzzy logic

摘要

An image forming apparatus for forming images on a recording medium on the basis of an electrophotography system includes a calculator for determining the quantities of state and quantities of control using fuzzy sets and for calculating, for each color, quantities of control. Each quantity of control corresponds to one of the detected quantities of state from a degree to which the quantity of state belongs to each fuzzy set. An extractor for extracting, in accordance with predetermined rules, a main quantity of control for each color in a specific position within the area represented by each quantity of control calculated by the calculator.
