    摘要: A method of and system for calibrating an imaging device is described herein. An iterative method that attempts to find the best calibration parameters conditional upon an error metric is used. Regression is used to estimate values in a color space where the calibration is performed based upon a training data set. More calculation steps are required than would be for a regression in raw RGB space, but the convergence is faster in the color space where the calibration is performed, and the advantages using boundary conditions in the color space is able to provide improved calibration.

    摘要: A system for and method of calibrating an imaging device efficiently is described herein. The imaging device acquires an image of an object that is more than one color. The information acquired is then transferred to a computing device. The information is then used to generate a set of data which represents information which was not acquired in the image. The set of data is generated based on statistical prediction using a training data set. Using acquired image information and the set of data, an imaging device is able to be calibrated. Since the process of calibration utilizing this method only requires one image to be acquired and a reduced set of image information to be sent to the computing device, the process is more efficient than previous implementations.

    摘要: A system for and method of determining calibration parameters while only capturing a single image is described herein. Furthermore, traditional calibration algorithms are avoided by the direct determination of the calibration parameters. The determination of the calibration parameters is possible by first determining a training data set from images acquired of a variety of objects with a multitude of colors. Then, using the training data set, regression coefficients are generated. A camera to be calibrated then acquires only one set of image information such as a single picture. Then, using the regression coefficients and the acquired information, the calibration parameters are directly estimated for that camera.

    摘要: A system and method for effectively implementing a dither matrix for an electronic printer device may preferably create an improved dither matrix with optimal threshold values for use in a corresponding dither tile. During a matrix populating procedure for assigning tile threshold values for the dither matrix, the dither tile may preferably be embedded within a larger frame area of additional adjacent frame cells. A design entity may then preferably compute various cost functions when the additional boundary cells of the frame area are in place. The embedded dither matrix of the dither tile is thus preferably populated within the foregoing frame area so that various boundary effects may be taken into account when an overall cost function of both the dither tile plus the frame area is calculated.

    摘要: A system and method for gray-scale or color printing is disclosed. One embodiment of the present invention transposes multiple pairs of pixels at the same time. During this process a record of the values of the cost function is kept. After a good statistical sample of multiple pairs of pixel replacements has occurred, the top five combinations are then selected for further refinement. During this next round of calculations the multiple of pairs of pixels transposed is reduced by a factor of two. In another embodiment of the present invention, the selection of the groups of pixels to transpose is controlled. During the initial iteration stages, a minimal radial offset of separation is imposed upon the pixel selection. Typically this minimum radial offset starts at one quarter of the array height. This selection process ensures that transpositions have the largest mixture around the array.

    摘要: An optical sensor system is provided which provides portions of the intensity spectrum of various types of natural and artificial light and combinations thereof. The illumination passes through a series of band pass filters or through a diffraction grating to be sensed by a plurality of photosensors sensing different portions of the spectrum. The photosensors are connected to a processing system which can determine the nature of the illuminants from characteristic areas of the intensity spectrum falling on the photosensors.
