    摘要: A printing system includes a multiple-beam generator array configured to generate multiple beams. A collimator lens is positioned to receive the multiple beams, and an aperture stop is located where the multiple beams are spatially coincident with each other. A scanning optical system is positioned to receive the beams from the aperture stop, and a recording medium receives the beams from the scanning optical system. A filter is located where the multiple beams are spatially coincident with each other, whereby each of the multiple beams may be filtered by the supplied filter.

    摘要: A method for sharpening the corners of digital image data within an anti-aliasing image path so as to overcome corner rounding when displayed or printed. The method comprises stepping a window across the image data and comparing that windowed data to templates or performing Boolean logic and arithmetic operations on the image data. Upon determining a match or a corner detection, pixel values are substituted in the identified pixel locations to achieve a clustering of the substituted pixel values about the corner structure producing a corner-enhanced digital image. Filtering and sampling are then performed according to an anti-alias operation to the corner-enhanced image to produce an anti-aliased corner enhanced image. The data substitution will achieve a localized clustering or “ear” of toner/ink, or in the alternative for inside corners the localized clustered absence of toner/ink. The result of this clustering is a sharpening of the corners so that they display or print as intended by the bitmap.

    摘要: Disclosed herein is a method and apparatus for moiré-free enhanced color halftone printing of color image separations for an arbitrary number of colorants. The method and apparatus utilizes a plurality of halftone screens, >4, to produce outputs that are moiré free and form hexagonal periodic rosettes. The relatively large number of screens can be used for enhanced printing applications, such as printing with high-fidelity colorants, light colorants, or special colorants, such as white, metallics and fluorescents. The method and apparatus provide for defining rosette fundamental frequency vectors VR1, VR2 that satisfy a length and sum requirement to meet visual acceptability standards according to |VR1|>fmin, |VR2|>fmin, and |VR1±VR2|>fmin; defining N halftone screens for colorants i=1, N, respectively possessing first and second frequency vectors (Vi1, Vi2), where no two screens possess identical fundamental frequency vector pairs; and selecting fundamental frequency vectors for the N halftone screens according to (Vi1, Vi2)=(mi1VR1+mi2VR2, ni1VR1+ni2VR2) for integer m's and n's, where at least one fundamental frequency vector or its conjugate must also satisfy one of the following: Vik=VR1, Vik=VR2, and |Vik>2 max [|VR1|, |VR2|].

    摘要: Selective edge softening and selective edge dithering is introduced into an image representation to improve local control where halo problems are expected. Selective areas of dilation are isolated and separately dithered or halftoned, the result of which is then swapped back into or substituted for the stored original image. In this manner misregistration and color plane-to-plane interactions can be compensated for in plural image forming station architecture systems. The same technique is also valuable in monochrome systems as an aid to overcoming edge displacement and slow toner problems when the selective edge softening is selectively applied to edges which are in particular perpendicular to the fast scan direction.

    摘要: A method of correcting illumination variation in a scanned image of a non-planar original object, such as an open book, includes scanning at least a portion of the book in order to produce scanned image data. Illumination variation data is extracted from the scanned image data and used to derive a plurality of illumination compensation values. The scanned image data is then compensated or scaled in accordance with the illumination compensation values. Illumination data is acquired through a sampling window having a long and thin geometry. From the data acquired via the sampling window, foreground and background illumination distributions are defined. From the foreground and background illuminations, high and low threshold values are determined in order to calculate a set of reference or compensation values. A tone reproduction curve is generated in order to map the scanned data, thus normalizing the illumination variation. Alternately, an illumination gain factor is employed in the compensation.

    摘要: A system for generating a warped contone image that compensates for beam scan trajectory distortions. The system includes an image buffer for storing a portion of a received contone image. An interpolation coefficient generator provides interpolation coefficients associated with a warped pixel within the warped contone image in response to an input identifying the warped pixel. A pixel interpolator is coupled to the image buffer and the interpolation coefficient generator and provides an output signal that identifies the warped pixel within the warped contone image. The pixel interpolator further retrieves pixels from the contone image stored in the image buffer using the interpolation coefficients and generates the warped pixel by combining the retrieved pixels into a single pixel value.
