摘要： A system and method for processing image data converts a pixel of image data having a first resolution to a plurality of subpixels, the plurality of subpixels representing a second resolution, the second resolution being higher than the first resolution. The plurality of subpixels are thresholded to generate a group of subpixel values for each pixel and a threshold error value. It is then determined if the group of subpixel values from the thresholding process produce a pattern containing an isolated subpixel. If the group of subpixel values from the thresholding process produce a pattern containing an isolated subpixel, the group of subpixel vales is modified to produce a pattern without an isolated subpixel. The modification process produces a subpixel error value which is compensated for localized error before being diffused to adjacent pixels.

摘要： The integrating cavity effect is reduced by using a polarizing filter. The polarizing filter reduces the secondary illumination onto a document being scanned. The filter is placed at the opening to the cavity of the scanner. The sum effects of using a polarizing filter reduces the integrating cavity effect by a factor of 2.

摘要： A system and method which enables the location and orientation of an image to be determined without introducing scanning artifacts into the rendered image. The system utilizes a separate set of sensors on a scanning bar that are sensitive to a wavelength of light outside the range of wavelengths of the typical sensors found on the scanning bar, such as red, green, or blue. Moreover, the system includes a light source which is capable of emitting the wavelength of light that is outside this range of wavelength of light. Thus, whenever the additional set of sensors detect light, the system would determine that the light was due to a scanning artifact, such as a hole, rip, or dog ear in the original document being scanned. Furthermore, the system would include a process which measures the variations of the image signal in the fasts can and slows can directions, as well as, the gray level of the video signal from these various measurements, the system would develop a cost value as to the certainty as whether the signal represents a scanning artifact. In such a system, the backing would be embedded with a pattern which would have a predetermined variation in a fasts can direction but have little or no variation in a slowscan direction.

摘要： A method and apparatus for using one moving system to transmit output data in a pattern that is dependent upon the motion of another moving system is disclosed. More specifically, the present invention enables a line writing device, such as a raster output scanner or a thermal inkjet array, to transmit imaging data to a target, typically an imaging member or a recording medium, in a pattern that is dependent upon the motion of the target. Thus, if motion of the target is altered due to wear and tear, malfunctioning of the printing machine, or for any other reason, the line writing device will adjust its data transmission rate to cause the imaging data to strike its target in the appropriate location.

摘要： An inductive-type rotary encoder includes a stator having at least one conductive pattern on one side thereof, and a rotor having another conductive pattern on one side thereof which faces the at least one conductive pattern of the stator. The conductive patterns are inductively coupled to one another so as to generate an output signal indicative of the angular position of the rotor relative to the stator. In order to reduce the overall size and number of parts required, the circuitry for energizing the stator conductive pattern(s) and for generating the output signal can be provided on a printed circuit board, the opposite side of which contains the at least one stator conductive pattern. In order to reduce noise as well as to reduce the first harmonic error, lead lines for attaching the stator and rotor conductive patterns to the controlling circuitry and a return line which extends along substantially the entire length of the rotor or stator conductive patterns and attaches to one of the lead lines are provided and specially located relative to undulations of the conductive patterns. Additionally, the length of spokes which define undulations of the respective rotor and stator conductive patterns can be controlled to improve the performance of the rotary encoder. A rotary encoder including inductively coupled rotor and stator conductive patterns for generating a relative angular position (or rotary speed) of the rotor relative to the staator, as well as stator and rotor index pulse patterns inductively coupled for generating an index pulse once per revolution of the rotor relative to the stator is also provided.

摘要： A method is described to combine two integer lookup tables to realize a single integer lookup table. The method converts each lookup table to a set of floating point values. The conversion process generates a set of floating point values that are as close as possible to the underlying analytic or smooth function that generated the tables in the first place. A system to implement the method is also described.

摘要： A system determines the noise level of image data by high pass filtering image data. Absolutes values of the high pass filtered image data are determined. Thereafter, multiple mean values for absolute values less than a predetermined number of threshold values are determined. Based upon the determined mean values, a plurality of estimated mean values is calculated, each estimated mean value being calculated from a combination of two determined mean values. The noise of the image is determined from a combination of the minimum estimated mean value and the maximum estimated mean value. This noise can be optionally used by a sigma filter, at Step S740, to sigma filter the image data.
