摘要： A technique which combines the advantages of blue noise and clustering obtains more pleasant "blueish" effects in the rendering of the grey levels for which the original multicell mask generates unwanted periodic representations. Such original multicell clustered dither array patterns which are undesirable are replaced by less periodic ones while preserving all benefits of the classical methods, and in particular, leaving the nicest patterns unchanged. An automated process redistributes the locations of the threshold values corresponding to undesirable grey levels to obtain more pleasant "blueish" effects in the rendering of the grey levels.

摘要： A multiple beam printer system having N laser beams receives print job information from a print host. A rendering application uses a threshold array to generate halftone image data from the print job. The threshold array is defined based on a spot function. The defined screen is non-orthogonal and includes Y pels in a direction that is perpendicular to a scanning direction of the laser beams where Y is an integer multiple of N. A distance between screen dots in pels is preferably equal to an integer multiple of N. The screen dot may be defined by a supercell encompassing two screen dots and having an odd number of pels in a direction that is parallel to the scanning direction. The spot function may include a snap feature that snaps a screen dot to the nearest printer grid pel. The spot function may include scaling to compensate for the distortion of the non-orthogonal screen dot.

摘要： A method and apparatus to calibrate a printer which do not depend on geometric assumptions on the printed dots. The method takes account of the fundamentally probabilistic nature of the process of printing any dot on some types of printers such as laser printers. It allows estimating the probability distribution of what gets printed at each pixel depending on the local configuration of dots to be printed in such a way that only a limited number of tests need to be done, while no artificial cutoff is introduced on the size of local configurations to be taken into account. The calibration method can be applied to many problems encountered in digital printing, and permits computing printer dependent calibration of a dithering method without need for further direct measurements.

摘要： A method, computer program product and system for detecting and compensating for color misregistration. A black/white edge or a solid color edge on a target may be scanned. A black/white edge may refer to a black image, e.g., black text, on a white surrounding background having a rapid spatial transition from black to white. A solid color edge may refer to a solid color image, e.g., solid color text, on a white surrounding background having a rapid spatial transition from color to white. A curve of gray values versus spatial pixel positions for each color channel, e.g., red, green and blue color channels, may be generated. A misregistration error may then be calculated by calculating the offset between the color channel curves. The misregistration error may then be used to calibrate the scanner to compensate for the detected color misregistration.

摘要： A digital halftoning technique for controlling a spot function is disclosed. A method for generating a spot for use in halftoning according to the present invention includes defining a spot function that combines two functions selected to provide a predetermined spot shape for use in a halftone cell and scaling the spot function using a scaling function that varies according to a value of a first and second spot function ordinate. Asymmetric modulation of spot functions is used to control the touching of adjacent spots, and to change the shape of the spots with the gray region.

摘要： A data processing system and method are described for generating a halftone screened image from an input image. A first threshold matrix is generated which, when utilized to halftone a solid gray input image, generates a first halftoned output image which is a plurality of generally solid vertical lines. The first threshold matrix includes a plurality of matrix elements arranged in a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns. A plurality of groups of the matrix elements are shifted within the first threshold matrix to create a second threshold matrix which, when utilized to halftone the solid gray input image, generates a second halftoned output image which is a checkerboard type pattern of alternating black or white blocks. In one embodiment, groups of the plurality of the rows are shifted horizontally over by at least one adjacent column to generate the second matrix.

摘要： A method and apparatus for matching the print outputs of two printers having different characteristics. For the purpose of laser printing, or more generally for reproduction on any printing device with limited number of printing levels, a color or grayscale image has to be transformed into an array of printing decisions at each pixel of the output image. Sometimes this array is the only available representation of the original image. One may desire to print this array on a printer with different characteristics from the printer for which the array was originally prepared. The method and apparatus solve this problem by generating a printing decision matrix which takes into account the differences between the two printers.

摘要： Provided is a method, system, program, and data structures for halftoning an input image comprised of at least two input color components. Each input color component provides input intensity values for the color component at pixel locations in the image. At least two halftoning screens are accessed. There is one screen for each color component and halftone output generated by at least one of the screens has a lines per inch (LPI) that is at least approximately twenty percent different than the LPI of halftone output generated by one other screen. The input image is separated into the separate color components. The accessed screen for each color component is applied to the input intensity values for the color component to produce output intensity values for the color component. The combined halftone outputs for all the color components form the output pixels.

摘要： A method and an apparatus to descreen a halftoned picture takes into account the actual distribution of black or colors on the print without the need for scanning printed images but, rather, using only the printing decision matrix and the printer characteristics. For the purpose of laser printing, or more generally for reproduction on any printing device with a limited number of printing levels, a color or grayscale image has to be transformed into an array of printing decisions at each pixel of the output image. Sometimes this array is the only available representation of the original image. One may desire to reconstitute a good approximation of the original grayscale image from this array, for instance to print the picture on a printer with different characteristics from the printer for which the array was originally prepared, or to display it on a high resolution monitor. The method and apparatus to solve this problem in a way which take precise account of printer characteristics is described.
