摘要： A method for automatically classifying a printed image, includes scanning the printed image; selecting an n by n block of pixels from the scanned image; calculating an array of DCT coefficients of the pixel block, wherein the array of calculated DCT coefficients are representative of spatial frequency and spatial orientation of the pixel block; comparing the DCT coefficients with an array of predetermined values, wherein the array of predetermined values are indicative of different image marking processes used to produce printed images; and determining an image marking process used to create the printed image based on the comparison of the DCT coefficients with the array of predetermined values. The array of DCT coefficients may be sampled into a feature set and the feature set provided to a neural network to output the determined image marking process.

摘要： Error diffusion halftoning systems and methods propagate the error both within a color layer and between the color layer being halftoned and subsequent color layers yet to be halftoned. Threshold array halftoning systems and methods diffuse error to subsequent color layers after a color layer has been halftoned using a threshold array. A color continuous tone image is separated into color layers. A plurality of weighting factors are selected that control how error is diffused to subsequent color layers as each color layer is halftoned. A first color layer is halftoned using error diffusion or threshold array halftoning. An error layer is generated from the first halftoned color layer and the first color layer. A modified second continuous tone color layer is generated based on at least one error layer and the corresponding weighting factor. That modified second continuous tone color layer is then halftoned and the process is repeated.

摘要： Apparatus and methods that adjust image data for show-through image information of an image on a front side of an image bearing substrate having image data on a back side and on an adjacent side of a backing substrate, e.g., the pages of a bound volume. Image data for a front side image, a back side image and an adjacent side image is obtained from an optical sensor that senses light reflected from the image bearing substrate. The image data is stored in a memory and is used to determine scanned density data and approximate absorbency data for the respective sides of the substrates. Show-through compensated density data for the front side image is computed by filtering the absorbency data for the back and adjacent side with a filter characteristic of the show-through characteristics of the image bearing substrate and subtracting this filtered absorbency data from the front side scanned density data. If required, the show-through compensated density data for the front, side image is converted into a show-through compensated reflectance image.

摘要： A method is presented for deriving gamma for a display monitor that does not involve color matching tasks. The method includes displaying a test pattern to a user on the display monitor. The test pattern includes at least one of a pattern of alternating light and dark regions displayed to the user at different gamma correction levels, or a grayscale character string displayed to the user at different digital gray levels against a background of two known luminance levels. Input is received from the user as to at least one of a gamma correction level that results in the pattern of alternating light and dark regions having light and dark regions of perceived equal size, or a digital gray level for the grayscale character string that results in maximum legibility of the text string against the two known background luminance levels. Gamma is derived for the display monitor based upon the user input.

摘要： A method is provided for rendering a color image with a plurality of separations with a halftone process using a single screen. The screen is comprised of a plurality of pixel locations with associated threshold values and the image is comprised of a plurality of separation values. The method includes the steps of rendering a first one of the plurality of separations in accordance with the screen, wherein the plurality of pixel locations are turned on or off at a given pixel location based on a comparison of the image separation value at that pixel with the screen threshold value. The rendering of the next color separation is made in accordance with the rendering of the first separation and the screen, wherein for constant image separation values, pixel locations are turned on for the separation at pixel locations disposed in a highest available luminance region having a lowest available threshold value. When successive filling approaches the end portion of available threshold values, overlap filling with earlier rendered color separations occurs before the screen is completely filled.

摘要： A method of adjusting an image production system to account for a variable property of a desired output medium includes storing a reference characterization of at least one measured value associated with a reference output medium. An output value, adjusted for the variable property of the desired output medium, is determined based on data including the reference characterization of the reference output medium, for example stored in color lookup tables, color rendering dictionaries, or the like. Based on the adjusted output value determined, the desired output medium is then printed or otherwise marked using the output value.
