To provide an image inspection device which can improve the good quality ratio of an output object by faithfully restoring an original image of an image missing portion unique to the electrophotography type whose occurrence portion cannot be predicted.SOLUTION: An image inspection device for inspecting an image of a medium output from an image formation device based on input image data includes: image reading units 411, 412 which read the image of the medium; an image diagnosis unit 444 which diagnoses the necessity of repairing for the image of the medium on the basis of the input image data and the output image data of the image reading units; and an image processing unit 445 which generates image data for repairing of the portion where repairing is performed on the image of the medium on the basis of the input image data when the diagnosis result of the image diagnosis unit shows that repairing is necessary.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5 【課題】電子写真方式特有の発生箇所が予測できない画像欠落箇所の本来の画像そのものを忠実に復元し、出力物の良品率の向上を図ることができる画像検査装置を提供する。【解決手段】入力画像データに基づいて画像形成装置から出力されるメディアの画像を検査する画像検査装置において、メディアの画像を読み取る画像読取部４１１，４１２と、入力画像データと画像読取部の出力画像データとに基づいて、メディアの画像について補修の要否を診断する画像診断部４４４と、画像診断部の診断結果が補修要の場合に、メディアの画像上の補修を行う箇所の補修用画像データを、入力画像データを基に生成する画像処理部４４５と、を備える。【選択図】図５
