    摘要: A method and system compensates for streak defects in an image formed using a raster output scanning device. A reflectance profile is generated from an image generated by the raster output scanning device. Thereafter, a difference profile is determined. The difference profile is determined based upon the generated reflectance profile and a uniform profile. A compensation profile is generated based on the determined difference profile. The compensation profile represents a change in an intensity profile for the raster output scanning device.

    摘要: Engine response curves (RCs) can be used for streak compensation for printed documents. A feedback control paradigm can be included to effect RC compensation. Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) can be used to represent each RC in the collection of spatial RC data as a linear combination of basis vectors. RCs are approximated by selecting the first few basis vectors, the approximation aiding in noise rejection and reducing computation in the controller by reducing dimensionality of the RC data from gray levels to the number of SVD bases selected. An optimal subset of RCs is selectable from the set of approximated RCs by clustering the SVD weights, the clustered SVD weights producing TRCs that span all engine response RCs generated by a printer. Compensation RCs are constructible using reduced number of bases and clustered SVD weights.

    摘要: An image processing method to reduce streaking on a printed sheet uses a negative feedback system to reduce streaking. The method scans a printed sheet to produce image data. The method further measures gray-levels of the image data and computes a compensation vector from the measured gray-levels as the difference between a nominal tonal-resproduction-curve and local tonal-reproduction-curves. The compensation vector is applied the image data to be printed. The compensation vector emphasizes ranges of frequencies sensitive of the human eye.

    摘要: System and method for real-time job cell-assignment using soft-computing is provided. The system includes a work-in-progress module, a load estimation module and a fuzzy inference module. Clients send jobs to the system and the system evaluates a plurality of document processing cells' capacity to process the jobs taking into consideration the cells' current workload and the cells' capacity to process the job. Specifically, the work-in-progress module determines a work-in-progress (“WIP”) value for each cell that represents a current workload, and the load estimation module estimates a load value that represents how busy the cell is for jobs of a certain type. The fuzzy inference module applies the WIP and the estimated load values to a set of membership functions to associate the values with fuzzy values. The module determines merit values for the cells using the fuzzy values, and selects the cell having the largest merit value to route the job to.

    摘要: A plurality of printing jobs associated with a printing environment can be initially evaluated. Such a printing environment can be implemented as a print shop or another lean document production environment. A set of minimal resource capacities can then be calculated as a multi-objective optimization using a linear programming (LP) analysis. Alternatively, in a generalized geometrical algorithm, at least one peak-demand production rate associated with the most critical resource can first be estimated, in response to evaluating the plurality of printing jobs. Thereafter, minimal resource capacities of the plurality of resources of the printing environment can be hierarchically calculated based on estimating the previously determined peak-demand production rate of higher priority.
