Abstract

A printed matter processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit that acquires image data of an environment in which a printed matter is set, a processor, and a display unit, in which the processor configured to, by executing a program, input the image data acquired by the acquisition unit, display how the printed matter is seen in a case where the printed matter is set in the environment on the display unit, by compositing the printed matter in the image data in accordance with a printing condition of the printed matter, and decide the printing condition of the printed matter by changing the printing condition of the printed matter in accordance with a user operation and displaying the printed matter.

Claims (49)

1. A printed matter processing apparatus comprising:

a communication interface that acquires image data of an environment in which a printed matter is set;

a display; and

a processor configured to, by executing a program,

input the image data acquired by the communication interface,

perform object recognition on the image data to identify a target with a known dimension,

estimate an actual dimension of the environment based on the identified target with the known dimension in the image data,

display how the printed matter is seen in a case where the printed matter is set in the environment on the display, by compositing the printed matter in the image data in accordance with a printing condition of the printed matter, wherein the printing condition is associated with the estimated actual dimension of the environment, and

decide the printing condition of the printed matter by changing the printing condition of the printed matter in accordance with a user operation and displaying the printed matter.

2. The printed matter processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the printing condition includes at least one of a dimension, a color, a pattern, a font, or resolution of the printed matter.

3. The printed matter processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to

estimate at least an appropriate dimension of the printed matter with respect to the image data of the environment from the input image data, and

display the printed matter on the display by compositing the printed matter in the image data using the estimated appropriate dimension.

4. The printed matter processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the processor is configured to

estimate at least an appropriate dimension of the printed matter with respect to the image data of the environment from the input image data, and

display the printed matter on the display by compositing the printed matter in the image data using the estimated appropriate dimension.

5. The printed matter processing apparatus according to claim 3 ,

wherein the processor is configured to estimate the appropriate dimension from the image data using a machine learning model.

6. The printed matter processing apparatus according to claim 4 ,

wherein the processor is configured to estimate the appropriate dimension from the image data using a machine learning model.

7. The printed matter processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the communication interface acquires picture data of the environment as the image data.

8. The printed matter processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the communication interface acquires image data of an environment similar to the environment in a case where the image data of the environment is not present.

9. The printed matter processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the printed matter is any of a posted matter, a wallpaper, a poster, and a cover.

10. The printed matter processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the printed matter is any of a posted matter, a wallpaper, a poster, and a cover.

11. The printed matter processing apparatus according to claim 3 ,

wherein the printed matter is any of a posted matter, a wallpaper, a poster, and a cover.

12. The printed matter processing apparatus according to claim 4 ,

wherein the printed matter is any of a posted matter, a wallpaper, a poster, and a cover.

13. The printed matter processing apparatus according to claim 5 ,

wherein the printed matter is any of a posted matter, a wallpaper, a poster, and a cover.

14. The printed matter processing apparatus according to claim 6 ,

wherein the printed matter is any of a posted matter, a wallpaper, a poster, and a cover.

15. The printed matter processing apparatus according to claim 7 ,

wherein the printed matter is any of a posted matter, a wallpaper, a poster, and a cover.

16. The printed matter processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the identified target with the known dimension is an object with a standardized dimension.

17. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process, the process comprising:

inputting image data of an environment in which a printed matter is set;

performing object recognition on the image data to identify a target with a known dimension;

estimating an actual dimension of the environment based on the identified target with the known dimension in the image data;

displaying how the printed matter is seen in a case where the printed matter is set in the environment on a display, by compositing the printed matter in the image data in accordance with a printing condition of the printed matter, wherein the printing condition is associated with the estimated actual dimension of the environment; and

deciding the printing condition of the printed matter by changing the printing condition of the printed matter in accordance with a user operation and displaying the printed matter.
