Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to acquire image data from preprocessing, calculate information related to accuracy of a result of processing for each partial region of an image corresponding to the acquired image data, and notify the preprocessing of the calculated information related to the accuracy and information for specifying a corresponding partial region.

Claims (54)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a processor configured to

acquire image data from preprocessing apparatus;

execute processing the acquired image data

calculate feedback information related to accuracy of a result of the processing for each partial region of an image corresponding to the acquired image data;

notify the preprocessing apparatus of the feedback information related to the accuracy, wherein the feedback information comprising information for specifying a corresponding partial region; and

acquire the image data from different preprocessing apparatus which is newly executed after notifying the preprocessing apparatus of the feedback information.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to

calculate the feedback information related to the accuracy of the result of processing for each of a plurality of small regions into which the partial region is further divided, and

notify the preprocessing apparatus of the accuracy of the result of processing calculated for each of the plurality of small regions collectively or individually.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the feedback information related to the accuracy indicates that the accuracy of the result of processing is lower than a predetermined threshold value.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to

estimate a cause of the accuracy of the result of processing being lower than a predetermined threshold value, and

notify the preprocessing apparatus of the estimated cause as the feedback information related to the accuracy.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 ,

wherein the feedback information comprising information related to a text or a background included in the partial region.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 ,

wherein the processor is configured to estimate the cause by including accuracy of a result of processing of which a target is the entire image data.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 ,

wherein the processor is configured to estimate the cause based on information about a content of processing provided from the preprocessing apparatus.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 ,

wherein the processor is configured to estimate the cause based on a history of the estimated cause for another image data similar to the image data.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 ,

wherein the processor is configured to estimate the cause based on a difference in accuracy between partial regions of the same type.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the feedback information comprising information for providing an instruction to change a content to the preprocessing apparatus.

11. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the feedback information comprising information for providing an instruction of a content of processing to be requested to the preprocessing apparatus.

12. The information processing apparatus according to claim 11 ,

wherein the information for providing the instruction of the content to the preprocessing apparatus includes information for providing an instruction of a value of a parameter used in the preprocessing apparatus.

13. The information processing apparatus according to claim 11 ,

wherein the processor is configured to estimate the content of processing to be requested to the preprocessing apparatus based on a history of an instruction with respect to another image data similar to the image data.

14. The information processing apparatus according to claim 13 ,

wherein the processor is configured to

learn the content notified to the preprocessing apparatus and accuracy of a result of processing of the partial region acquired again after notification as training data, and

estimate the content of processing to be requested to the preprocessing apparatus.

15. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the feedback information comprising information indicating a certainty degree of a result of processing of the image data acquired again,

wherein the processor is configured to, in a case where the image data on which the different preprocessing apparatus is newly executed is acquired again, output the result of processing of the image data acquired again when the certainty degree of processing of each partial region corresponding to the image data is higher than a predetermined threshold value.

16. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to, in a case where the image data on which preprocessing apparatus with a different content is executed for a partial region in which accuracy lower than a predetermined threshold value is obtained is acquired again and the result of processing is higher than the threshold value, output the result of processing of the partial region in combination with the result of processing with respect to another partial region in which accuracy higher than the threshold value is obtained in previous processing.

17. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to share information for identifying the image data which is a target of the notification, with the preprocessing apparatus.

18. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to provide an instruction to increase resolution to the preprocessing apparatus of generating the image data.

19. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to notify the preprocessing apparatus of a finish of processing in a case where the accuracy of the result of processing exceeds a predetermined threshold value for all partial regions.

20. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to implement:

a function of acquiring image data from preprocessing apparatus;

a function of calculating feedback information related to accuracy of a result of processing for each partial region of an image corresponding to the acquired image data;

a function of notifying the preprocessing apparatus of the feedback information related to the accuracy, wherein the feedback information comprising information for specifying a corresponding partial region; and

a function of acquiring the image data from different preprocessing apparatus which is newly executed after notifying the preprocessing apparatus of the feedback information.
