    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: A color conversion table designed to produce 0% under-color removal and a 100% under-color removal TRC are configured as a matched pair and are used to render an image from fuzzy detected color signals, including providing variable under-color removal to obtain fuzzy black conversion. The output of the color conversion table and the TRC are multiplied by a weighted value which depends on a value of a received neutral tag. The weighted outputs of the color conversion table and TRC are added such that a varying weighted output is generated. The generated output is used in image rendering to produce a smooth transition from a full color to monochrome, where variable amounts of under-color removal are obtained using the color correction table and TRC.

    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 fastscan and slowscan 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 fastscan direction but have little or no variation in a slowscan direction.

    摘要: A control system for a ROS scanner in which the aspect ratio and magnification of an image is controlled by precise, real-time control of the relative velocities of the polygon mirror and the photoreceptor. Values related to monitored measurements of polygon mirror and photoreceptor velocity are mathematically combined with a reference clock value and other factors to yield real-time control signals. The control signals operate the polygon and photoreceptor motors to obtain a desired magnification and aspect ratio of images created on the photoreceptor.

    摘要: An apparatus and associated method for controlling the velocity of the photoreceptor within a reprographic machine having a seamed, web type photoreceptor, for producing a plurality of images thereon. The images being separated by unexposed interdocument regions on the photoreceptor. The reprographic machine further including a registration apparatus for registering copy substrates with developed latent images. The process of assuring that the seamed region of the photoreceptor lies within an interdocument region begins by first sensing an actual phase relationship between the photoreceptor seam and the activity of the registration apparatus and then calculating a phase error value by comparing the actual phase relationship to a desired phase relationship. Next, the system determines an adjustment photoreceptor velocity as a function of the phase error. Subsequently, the photoreceptor is moved at a fixed velocity during exposure of the images. Changing the calculated reference and hence photoreceptor velocity is restricted to the interdocument zone, so that there are no velocity changes except when the interdocument zone is passing through the imaging station. This ensures that the registration requirements and image quality specifications are simultaneously accomplished.

    摘要: When estimating distance to an object in an image using a single camera, data acquired by an onboard accelerometer is analyzed to determine camera speed as the user takes a video of the object of interest. The compression that results during video processing is used to derive motion vectors for the object of interest in the scene. The motion vectors have an opposite direction to the camera motion and a magnitude that is a function of the unknown object distance and a known magnification level. The object distance is calculated from the estimated velocity and motion vector magnitude.

    摘要: As set forth herein, computer-implemented methods and systems facilitate detecting non-uniformities (e.g., streaks or other defects) in a scanned image, and correcting the non-uniformities while accounting for geometric distortion therein. For instance a scanned image may include a light streak (e.g., higher L* values than expected) down the page at a given distance from a page edge. Paper shrinkage may also cause the image to be magnified relative to the page. Correction values (e.g., L* knockdown values or the like) are generated to bring the non-uniform L* values down to a darker level. To account for the magnification of the image, the correction values are electronically registered to uniformity data for the page, and applied at the correct location to account for the magnification. The corrected image is then printed by a marking device.
