According to examples, an apparatus may include a processor and a memory on which are stored computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, may cause the processor to access a master image to be printed and receive a scanned image corresponding to the master image. The processor may identify a defect in a scanned image region of interest (ROI) based on the master image. A type of the scanned image ROI may include a raster ROI, a symbol ROI, a background ROI, and/or a color vector ROI, and the identified defect may be associated with the type of the scanned image ROI. The processor may determine a severity of the identified defect of the scanned image and may output the determined severity.

Image region of interest defect detection

In some examples, a device includes a printing device to generate an image on a substrate from a digital image, and a processor to: receive a scanned image of the image on the substrate, identify a plurality of image portions of the scanned image, identify horizontal color changes across a horizontal portion of the plurality of image portions, identify vertical color changes across a vertical portion of the plurality of image portions, compare the horizontal color changes and vertical color changes to corresponding horizontal color changes and corresponding vertical color changes of the digital image, and measure a presence of color plane misregistration, and the color, direction and magnitude of misregistration based on the comparison.
