    摘要: Current methodologies for color image halftoning produce prominent halftoning noise. Brightness variations between color dots placed at neighboring locations are a primary cause of color halftone noise. To correct this flaw, an Ink Relocation Postprocess to halftoning algorithms relocates ink drops between neighboring drop locations in order to reduce local brightness variations. Due to the intrinsic blurring side-effect of ink relocation, some enhancement may be desired. Two application-specific enhancement procedures are presented. In the first enhancement, ink relocation is suppressed in areas of fine detail. In the second enhancement, edge sharpening is performed after ink relocation.

    摘要: Error diffusion algorithms such as the celebrated Floyd Steinberg error-diffusion algorithm are high-performance halftoning methods in which quantization errors are diffused to "future" pixels. Originally intended for grayscale images, they are traditionally extended to color images by error-diffusing each of the three color planes independently (separable error-diffusion). Adding a design rule which is based on certain characteristics of human color perception to the error-diffusion paradigm results in a color halftoning algorithm having output of considerably higher quality when compared to separable error-diffusion. These benefits are achieved by adding the Minimum Brightness Variation Criterion (MBVC) to the design rules of color error-diffusion halftoning methods. Halftone values are constrained to be vertices of a Minimum Brightness Variation Quadruple (MBVQ) associated with each pixel of the color image being processed. The algorithm presented requires no additional memory and entails a reasonable increase in run-time.

    摘要: A system and method for a context-sensitive extensible plug-in architecture. Specifically, an extensible plug-in architecture is described. The plug-in architecture includes a main application responding to at least one media object under a current context. A plug-in application is also included that extends capabilities of the main application. The plug-in architecture also includes an interface for sharing the current context with the plug-in application so that the plug-in application responds to the at least one media object under the current context.

    摘要: A process for correcting the time stamp of recordings such as photographs, obtained in many locations. An onboard clock records a time stamp for each photograph. GPS tracking data is obtained during movement of the camera. A time correction is sought, to account for an unknown error in the onboard clock, relative to the trusted GPS time data. To this end, an assigned location of each photograph is generated from the location tracking data and from an estimated time correction. Indicators of an appropriate time correction include clustering of the assigned locations, and correlation of the assigned locations to locations of reduced velocity. A GUI can be used to enable user assessment of clustering and/or correlation, and indication of a suitable time correction. Or, algorithmic assessment can be used. The determined time correction can be used to correct each photograph's time stamp.
