    Abstract: This invention is a screening method. The input image is divided into a plurality of supercells. These supercells are divided into a plurality of individual cells. An expanded cell is defined larger than each of the individual cells. A map of an input gray scale tone to an output gray scale tone is defined for each pixel of the expanded cell. The screening takes place for each pixel of the input image. First the method determines a pixel of the expanded cell corresponding to the input pixel. Then the output gray scale tone corresponding to the pixel of the expanded cell is recalled.

    Abstract: This invention proposes to transcode the compressed image, that may be in the JPEG format for example, to an intermediate format that allows pseudo-random access. Such a pseudo-random access would that allow efficient image transformation. By using this format, in most cases a pixel is decoded only once in the entire image transformation process. This is certainly true for the most common transformation operations such as rotation by 90, 180 and 270 degrees. This transcoding would enable image transformations in printers whose memory is insufficient to store the entire decompressed image.

    Abstract translation: 本发明提出将可能以JPEG格式的压缩图像转码为允许伪随机访问的中间格式。 这样的伪随机访问将允许有效的图像变换。 通过使用这种格式,在大多数情况下,像素在整个图像变换过程中仅被解码一次。 对于最常见的转换操作(例如旋转90度,180度和270度)这一点是肯定的。 这种代码转换将使得内存不足以存储整个解压缩图像的打印机中的图像转换。
