    摘要: A method and apparatus are provided for determining a weighted average measured reflectance parameter Rm for pixels in an image for use in integrated cavity effect correction of the image. For each pixel of interest Pi,j in the image, an approximate spatial dependent average Ai,j, Bi,j of video values in a region of W pixels by H scan lines surrounding the pixel of interest Pi,j is computed by convolving video values Vi,j of the image in the region with a uniform filter. For each pixel of interest Pi,j a result of the convolving step is used as the reflectance parameter Rm. The apparatus includes a video buffer for storing the pixels of the original scanned image, and first and second stage average buffers for storing the computed approximate spatial dependent averages Ai,j, Bi,j. First and second stage processing circuits respectively generate the first and second stage average values Ai,j, Bi,j by convolving the video values of the image in a preselected region with a uniform filter.

    摘要: A method for determining a location on an image bearing surface of an image printing system where a toner image is to be printed is provided. The method comprises generating a first signal from a detector that is configured to detect a reference mark on the image bearing surface, and a second signal from a clock system that counts. incremental movements of the image bearing surface, determining a first value that correlates the first signal and the second signal, where the first value corresponds to a value of the second signal at a start of characterization of the image bearing surface, and determining a second value using the first value, where the second value provides the location on the image bearing surface where the toner image is to be printed.

    摘要: Detecting skew and determining skew angle using the front of a document by determining background-to-document transitions. Incoming scanlines are interval sampled in the fast scan direction every nth pixel. The samples are collected and organized into a two dimension array comprised of scanline based rows and interval based columns. The collected and organized samples are analyzed by intervals to determine a scanline (row) where a specified sampling condition exceeds predetermined threshold. The corresponding row-interval point forms a background-to-medium transition point of the edge of a document. When two or more background-to-medium transition points are found from different intervals the skew angle can be determined using linear regression.

    摘要: A document size identification module receives a single scan of a document and detects for at least one of a black to white transition and a white to black transition. The black to white transition may represent a transition from an overscan area of a platen to a document. The white to black transition may represent a transition from the document to the overscan area of the platen. By detecting at least one of the black to white transition and the white to black transition, the document width may be determined. By determining the document width, the document size may be identified.
