Abstract: An image storage and processing method constructs, clips, fills, and combines arbitrary 2-dimensional shapes in an advanced graphics system. The method supports processing of anti-aliased images by compressing the image into a novel AlphaRegion data structure. AlphaRegion encodes into the data structure both the partially transparent as well as the fully opaque alpha values of an image according to rectangular bands. A band is a contiguous series of scan lines that have the same pattern of alpha values in a single direction. AlphaRegion encoding results in a more compact representation than possible in a conventional bitmap, but without losing the anti-aliasing features. AlphaRegion can be constructed either by supersampling sub-scan lines of an image, from the scan lines of a gray-scale image, from an existing conventional 1-bit Region or alpha mask buffer, or directly from a scan-line conversion of a geometric shape. AlphaRegion stores image data into three arrays, yInfo, xInfo and alphaData. Methods provided with AlphaRegion include rendering methods for filling or clipping the area on the drawing surface and methods for combining two AlphaRegions using boolean combination operators OR, AND, XOR, SUBTRACT, or SUBTRACT_FROM.

Abstract: A system and method for processing color objects provides optimal processing quality by supporting both a perceptual-based color space and a physical-based color space and utilizing both color spaces for color processing in an integrated manner transparent to the end user. The graphics engine of the system includes a module for converting a color object being processed between the perceptual-base color space and the physical-based color space. During color processing that may involve various perceptual-based and physical-based operations, the graphics engine automatically converts the color object from one of the perceptual-based and physical-based color spaces to the other depending on the color processing operation to be performed. The graphics engine may also perform conversions on input graphic data from an input device to one of the dual color spaces for processing and converting a processed class object into the color space of an output device for displaying or printing.

Abstract: A system and method for editing images. Each image editing operation is described by a few parameters. Multiple users can share image processing changes by sharing a few set of parameters instead of the whole bitmaps of the images. An Editing List describes the parameters defining the image changes. The size of Editing List is very small and is ideal for network transmission and collaboration. Image Editing Lists are independent of the images themselves. By decoupling the Image Editing Lists from the original bitmap images, other advantages are obtained. For instance, the same Editing List can be applied to other images and also to multiple images at the same time. Rendering of the modified images can be performed at a later time and only when necessary. In case of collaborative editing, the transmission time is reduced drastically.

Abstract translation: 一种用于编辑图像的系统和方法。 每个图像编辑操作由几个参数描述。 多个用户可以通过共享一组参数而不是图像的整个位图来共享图像处理更改。 编辑列表描述了定义图像更改的参数。 编辑列表的大小非常小，是网络传输和协作的理想选择。 图像编辑列表独立于图像本身。 通过将图像编辑列表与原始位图图像分离，可以获得其他优点。 例如，相同的编辑列表可以同时应用于其他图像以及多个图像。 修改图像的渲染可以在稍后的时间进行，并且仅在必要时进行。 在协同编辑的情况下，传输时间大大降低。

Abstract: An extended colorspace which has a higher accuracy and a wider gamut than sRGB color space is disclosed. The extended color space includes an alpha channel which defines the translucency of the color image. The alpha channel is different from known alpha channels in that the inventive alpha channel can represent “super transparent” and “super opaque” values by allowing the alpha parameter (α) to be greater than 1 and less than 0. A data structure for storing the extended colorspace information has three fields, a sign field, an integer field and a decimal field. The sign field defines whether an integer is negative or positive. The integer field defines the integer, wherein the integer defines the super or under saturated values for color and alpha components. The decimal field defines the fine detailed information for the value of the color and alpha components.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for rendering images on a computer screen. Under the invention, a portion of a base image is described using a path. The path is then transformed using a non-affine transform to produce a transformed path. The transformed path is then rendered onto the computer screen. Another aspect of the present invention is a method and apparatus for rendering curves of any order and any dimension. In particular, the present invention provides a means for converting a function of any order and any dimension that describes one segment of a curve into a function that describes a different sized segment or an adjoining segment.

Abstract: A system and method of providing a transformable region that may be used on graphics devices having different resolutions. The original path and geometric data of the region, as well as all operations performed on the data, are preserved when generating the region. The device-independent region can be described by a hierarchical tree, wherein the leaf nodes contain path or rectangle, ellipse, pie, and polygon data and the branch nodes contain the operations to be performed on the regions. As the tree is traversed and regions are used, they are converted to a device resolution-specific from such that the operations are performed on device resolution-specific regions. Matrix transformation operations (e.g., translate, scale, skew and rotate) can be applied because the original path information is preserved and if the region is to be used in a device having a different resolution or a subsequent matrix operation is to be applied to the region, the tree can be re-traversed.

Abstract: A method for color extension of bar codes includes converting the white portions of a plurality of black and white bar codes to a color unique to each bar code; merging the converted bar codes together to form a combined color image; and producing a color bar code from the combined color image. The method may include rendering, scanning, and decoding the color bar code to recreate the black and white bar codes. The contents of the black and white bar codes may be utilized as data to store text, graphics commands, or music.
