Abstract: A method for reducing a linear artifact in a medical image. The method includes identifying, in the medical image, a region occupied by the linear artifact and isolating, in the region, a signal intensity component attributed to the linear artifact from an overall signal intensity of the region. The method further includes obtaining a corrected signal intensity by subtracting, in the region, the signal intensity component attributed to the linear artifact from the overall signal intensity of the region, and, after obtaining the corrected signal intensity, correcting a contrast in the region to match the contrast in surrounding regions.

Abstract: A method for producing packages of printed materials arranged in order based on multiple original digital documents. A user interface is provided to allow the user to specify the order of the original documents to be printed. A print server generates multiple sub-jobs which contain linking information that links them to each other in the specified order to form a job set. The job set can be submitted to a printer in one submission. A printer executes the linked sub-jobs sequentially based on the linking information contained in the sub-jobs to produce the multiple printed documents in the specified order.

Abstract: A 2D color barcode decoding method is disclosed. The barcode includes a 2D array of data cells, corner locators, and border reference cells. Each data cell and reference cell has one of four primary colors (e.g. CMYK or CMWK). The reference cells, which have known colors, are used to calculate the channel offset (a spatial offset) of each primary color and the reference color values of each primary color. The reference cells are also used to calculate a color conversion matrix between color intensity (RGB) values and the primary color. Pixel-color probabilities are calculated from the pixel color intensity values using the color conversion matrix. The color of each data cell is determined using the pixel-color probabilities, the pixel color intensity values, the reference color intensity values, and the channel offset.
