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.

Disclosed are FIFO type methods, systems and apparatus for electronically registering image data relative to a raster or other marking device. According to an exemplary method, a FIFO type data queuing configuration is provided, where the length of data memory segments associated with the FIFO are selected to correspond to the number of raster lines from the most upstream point of the physical raster to the point where the given pixel column intersects the physical raster.

The present application is a method of producing digital image objects with enhanced halftone edges. The method operates by selecting a target pixel location within the digital image; observing a set of pixels within a pixel observation window superimposed on the digital image relative to the target pixel location; generating edge-state codes for a plurality of pairs of neighboring vectors of pixels within the pixel observation window; generating edge-identification codes from the plurality of edge-state codes using at least one look-up table; and, utilizing the edge-identification code to select and apply to the digital image at the target pixel either a first halftone screen having a first fundamental frequency and a first angle or a second halftone screen having a second fundamental frequency and a second angle, wherein the second frequency and second angle are harmonically matched to the first frequency and first angle. The method solves the problem of ragged edges on halftone tints as an automated, operation, with a computing architecture that is readily adapted to a wide variety of tinted edge conditions, and which can be readily adapted to real-time applications.

A system and method for processing a digital image for rendering are provided. The method includes performing one or more Line Width Control (LWC) operations on digital image data including pixels having pixel values representing gray levels and tag states providing information for specialized rendering techniques thereby changing one or more pixel values resulting in one or more inaccurate pixel tag states, identifying and reassigning one or more inaccurate pixel tag states for improving the rendering of the resultant digital image. An apparatus, such as an image processing system, capable of performing line width control and tag reassignment is also provided.

The teachings provided herein disclose a method for the identification of edge pixels within a digital image. The method operates by generating edge-state codes for a plurality of pairs of neighboring vectors of pixels within a given observation window, and generating an edge-identification code from the plurality of edge-state codes using a look-up table. The edge identification provides information that can be used for subsequent treatments such as rendering anti-aliased pixels, selecting preferred halftoning and tone reproduction for edge pixels, corner sharpening, and object recognition and segmentation.

The teachings provided herein disclose an image processing method for rendering a digital image possessing anti-aliased pixels by selecting a target pixel location within the digital image; observing a set of pixels within a pixel observation window superimposed on the digital image relative to the target pixel location; generating edge-state codes for a plurality of pairs of neighboring vectors of pixels within the pixel observation window; generating edge-identification codes from the plurality of edge-state codes using at least one look-up table; and, utilizing the edge-identification codes to select and apply to the digital image at the target pixel either anti-aliased rendering or conventional halftoning. The anti-aliasing may employ pixel signals that are high addressable and directionally biased to a particular orientation.

One aspect of the invention provides a method of halftoning an image which involves determining a quantization error for a selected target pixel of an image, selecting a diffusion mask, the mask relating to the target pixel and pixels neighboring thereto, receiving a first pair of neighboring pixel values for a first pixel pair including a first neighboring pixel and a second neighboring pixel, and receiving a second pair of neighboring pixel values for a second pixel pair including a third neighboring pixel and a fourth neighboring pixel. The method further involves determining a ranking order of the first, second, third and fourth neighboring pixels by comparing pixel values of the first, second, third and fourth neighboring pixels, and diffusing error to at least one of the first, second, third and fourth neighboring pixels based on the determined ranking order of the first, second, third and fourth neighboring pixels.
摘要:
A method for reduction of differential gloss as found in hardcopy image prints. The method comprises selecting a first halftone having a high apparent gloss characteristic and a second halftone having a low apparent gloss characteristic while retaining an identical matching density characteristic to the first selected halftone. a A determination is then made of which areas of the halftone image correspond to potentially high gloss and low gloss regions under normal printing conditions. The first halftone is applied to those portions of the halftone image determined as corresponding to potentially low gloss regions, and the second halftone is applied to those portions of the halftone image determined as corresponding to potentially high gloss regions of the halftone image.
