    摘要: A system is disclosed. The system includes at least one physical memory device to store edge enhancement logic and one or more processors coupled with the at least one physical memory device to execute the edge enhancement logic to receive a plurality of pels in a continuous tone image (CTI), receive compensation data for pel forming elements associated with each of the plurality of pels, receive edge enhancement transfer functions, determine whether each of the plurality of pels is an edge pel, perform edge enhancement processing for each of the determined edge pels, including generating a final pel value for the pel based on the pel value for the pel, the edge enhancement transfer function associated with the pel, and the compensation data associated with the pel and perform compensation processing for each of the determined not edge pels, including generating a final pel value for the pel based on the pel value for the pel, and the compensation data associated with the pel.

    摘要: A system is disclosed. The system includes at least one physical memory device to store compensation logic and one or more processors coupled with the at least one physical memory device to execute the compensation logic to generate inverse transfer functions for each of a plurality of color planes to compensate for non-functioning pel forming elements based on ink deposition functions for groups of pel forming elements including functioning pel forming elements and the non-functioning pel forming elements, wherein the inverse transfer functions transform output digital counts and the ink deposition functions represent output ink amount versus input digital count and generate compensated halftones for each of a plurality of color planes based on the inverse transfer functions.

    摘要: A method is disclosed. The method includes receiving one or more images of bitmap data applied to a print medium as print medium image data, register the print medium image data to the bitmap data, detecting one or more candidate defects based on whether a difference between the print medium image data at a location and the bitmap data at the location exceeds a predetermined threshold, detecting one or more defects among the candidate defects and transmitting information about the one or more candidate defects classified as defects.

    摘要: Systems, methods, software for monitoring usage of a recording medium in an image forming apparatus. In one embodiment, a usage monitor receives a raster image, and identifies thresholds that distinguish different intensity levels reproduced by different drop sizes of the recording material. The usage monitor identifies a set of pixel values for a block of pixels from the raster image, performs a vectorized comparison of the set of pixel values to each of the thresholds to generate sets of comparison bits, determines a number of set bits in each of the sets of comparison bits, and updates a threshold counter for each of the thresholds based on the number of set bits. The usage monitor may then compute drop counts for different drop sizes based on the threshold counter for each of the thresholds.
