ABSTRACT:
The image recording apparatus comprises: a recording head which has a plurality of recording elements; a conveyance device which causes the recording head and a recording medium to move relatively to each other by conveying at least one of the recording head and the recording medium; a characteristics information acquisition device which acquires information that indicates recording characteristics of the recording elements; a correction object recording element specification device which specifies a correction object recording element from among the plurality of recording elements, a density non-uniformity caused by the recording characteristic of the correction object recording element being corrected; a correction range setting device which sets N correction recording elements (where N is an integer larger than 1) from among the plurality of recording elements, the N correction recording elements being used in correction of output density; a correction coefficient specification device which calculates the density non-uniformity caused by the recording characteristic of the correction object recording element, and specifies density correction coefficients for the N correction recording elements according to correction conditions that reduce a low-frequency component of a power spectrum representing spatial frequency characteristics of the calculated density non-uniformity; a correction processing device which performs calculation for correcting the output density by using the density correction coefficients specified by the correction coefficient specification device; and a drive control device which controls driving of the recording elements according to correction results produced by the correction processing device.
