    Abstract: An example system includes a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored therein instructions that are executable to cause the system to perform various functions. The functions include obtaining an image associated with a print job, and providing the image as input to a convolutional neural network. The convolutional neural network includes a residual network, upscaling layers, and classification layers configured to detect whether the image is an artificial image having a computer-generated image gradient. The functions also include determining, based on an output of the classification layers, that the image is an artificial image having a computer-generated image gradient. Further, the functions include, based on determining that the image is an artificial image having a computer-generated image gradient, providing the image to an upscaling module of a print pipeline for upscaling rather than using an output of the upscaling layers for the upscaling.

    Abstract: A computer-implemented method comprises receiving a data stream that includes a series of code words that encodes a respective series of pixel data according to a first entropy coding lookup table, and processing the data stream to determine if there is a match between a first code word and a consecutive second code word, and a code word entry in a second entropy coding lookup table. The method also includes, if there is a match, decoding the first code word and the second code word using the second entropy coding lookup table. Further, the method includes, if there is not a match, decoding the first code word using the first entropy coding lookup table.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for processing images receive an input image. The systems and methods provide the input image to a first module to increase a resolution of the input image to produce an upscaled image. The systems and methods detect white pixels in the input image. The systems and methods generate a mask associated with the input image. The mask includes mask bits that are set to mark the white pixels in the input image. The systems and methods upscale the mask to produce an upscaled mask matching a resolution of the upscaled image. The systems and methods identify target pixels of the upscaled image that correspond to the set mask bits in the upscaled mask. The systems and methods modify the upscaled image to produce an output image by replacing target pixels of the upscaled image with a replacement pixel having greater whiteness. The systems and methods output the output image.

    Abstract: Systems and methods upscale an input image by a final upscaling factor. The systems and methods employ a first module implementing a super resolution neural network with feature extraction layers and multiple sets of upscaling layers sharing the feature extraction layers. The multiple sets of upscaling layers upscale the input image according to different respective upscaling factors to produce respective first module outputs. The systems and methods select the first module output with the respective upscaling factor closest to the final upscaling factor. If the respective upscaling factor for the selected first module output is equal to the final upscaling factor, the systems and methods output the selected first module output. Otherwise, the systems and methods provide the selected first module output to a second module that upscales the selected first module output to produce a second module output corresponding to the input image upscaled by the final upscaling factor.

    Abstract: An example embodiment may involve obtaining an a×b pixel macro-cell from an input image. The a×b pixel macro-cell may contain 4 non-overlapping m×n pixel cells. The a×b pixels in the a×b pixel macro-cell may have respective color values and may be associated with respective object type tags. The example embodiment may also include selecting a compression technique to either (i) compress the a×b pixel macro-cell as a whole, or (ii) compress the a×b pixel macro-cell by compressing each of the 4 non-overlapping m×n pixel cells separately. The example embodiment may further include compressing the a×b pixel macro-cell according to the selected compression technique, and writing a representation of the compressed a×b pixel macro-cell to a computer-readable output medium.
