    摘要: A system includes a memory to store pre-computed boundary look-up tables (LUTs) for respective drop weight boundary classes of a printer having a plurality of colorants. Each pre-computed boundary LUT provides one Neugebauer Primary area coverage (NPac) for each node of the LUT in response to a device color input value that corresponds to each node. Measurement data stored in the memory represent measured drop weight values for the plurality of different colorants of the printer. A processor executes instructions that interpolate among the pre-computed LUTs based on the measured drop weight values to determine a proportional weighting of each of the pre-computed LUTs.

    摘要: Certain examples described herein relate to the use of three-dimensional threshold matrices in the production of three-dimensional objects. In one case, data values for a three-dimensional matrix for use in halftoning are assigned based on a structural volume coverage representation. In certain described cases, the structural volume coverage representation defines a probabilistic distribution of at least two different structures available for the production of the three-dimensional object. A convex combination of the at least two different structures is determined, based on data values of the structure volume coverage representation. A data value may be assigned to the three-dimensional matrix based on the convex combination determined. The resultant three-dimensional matrix is used in a halftoning operation to control a structure distribution in the three-dimensional object.

    摘要: Certain examples described herein relate to the processing of object data corresponding to a three-dimensional object. First data corresponding to a first portion of the three-dimensional object and second data corresponding to a second portion of the three-dimensional object, separate from the first portion, are determined. The first data is halftoned using a first halftoning technique to generate control instructions for an apparatus to produce the first portion of the three-dimensional object. The second data is halftoned using a second halftoning technique to generate control instructions for the apparatus to produce the second portion of the three-dimensional object.

    摘要: A method for setting properties of a three-dimensional object in an additive manufacturing process, e.g. 3D-Printing, in which data representing a three-dimensional object to be printed is obtained. The data comprises sub-volumes representing the three-dimensional object. The position of the sub-volumes in the three-dimensional object is identifyied by a positional pomponent, i.e. a location depth and an orientation angle. A characteristic for the three-dimensional object to be printed is identified or set by the user. The property data is set for individual sub-volumes to be used in printing the three-dimensional object based on the identified characteristic and positional component. The property data comprises material property data, structural property data and printing property data.

    摘要: Examples of a method and a system for configuring an imaging system are described. These examples involve obtaining a random sample of area coverage representations and grouping these by an estimated color, such as a colorimetric value. In each group a selected area coverage representation is determined with respect to one or more imaging attributes. A color gamut based on the random sample and the selected area coverage representations are used to generate a color mapping from an input color space to an area coverage representation space for use by the imaging system.
