    Abstract: An example system includes a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored therein instructions that are executable to cause the system to perform various functions. The functions include obtaining an image associated with a print job, and providing the image as input to a convolutional neural network. The convolutional neural network includes a residual network, upscaling layers, and classification layers configured to detect whether the image is an artificial image having a computer-generated image gradient. The functions also include determining, based on an output of the classification layers, that the image is an artificial image having a computer-generated image gradient. Further, the functions include, based on determining that the image is an artificial image having a computer-generated image gradient, providing the image to an upscaling module of a print pipeline for upscaling rather than using an output of the upscaling layers for the upscaling.

    Abstract: Example systems and related methods relate to rendering using smooth shading. A computing device can receive information about an image, the information including one or more patches, where a particular patch of the one or more patches is specified using a plurality of non-linear equations. The computing device can determine one or more linear approximations to a particular non-linear equation of the plurality of non-linear equations. The computing device can update the particular patch to replace the particular non-linear equation with at least one linear approximation of the one or more linear approximations. The computing device can render at least part of the image by at least rendering the updated particular patch. The computing device can generate an output that includes the rendered at least part of the image.

    Abstract: An example embodiment may involve obtaining an m×n pixel cell from an input image. Each of the m×n pixels in the m×n pixel cell may be associated with at least one color value. An m×n attribute cell may be determined, elements of which may be associated in a one-to-one fashion with respective pixels in the m×n pixel cell. The m×n pixel cell may be compressed in a lossy fashion, and the m×n attribute cell may be compressed in a lossless fashion. Compression of the m×n pixel cell may be based on at least part of the m×n attribute cell. An interleaved representation of the compressed m×n pixel cell and the compressed m×n attribute cell may be written to an output medium.

    Abstract: An example embodiment may involve obtaining an a×b pixel macro-cell from an image with one or more color planes, and an a×b attribute macro-cell. The a×b pixel macro-cell may contain 4 non-overlapping m×n pixel cells, and the a×b attribute macro-cell may contain 4 non-overlapping m×n attribute cells. The pixels in the a×b pixel macro-cell may be associated with respective color values. The example embodiment may also involve determining 4 attribute output values associated respectively with the 4 non-overlapping m×n attribute cells. The example embodiment may further involve determining 1 to 4 color-plane output values for the non-overlapping m×n pixel cells, and writing an interleaved representation of the 4 attribute output values and the determined color-plane output values.
