摘要： The present invention relates to the segmentation of an image into a main area and a image segment for variable data differential gloss image control. A single color is selected. Two or more different color definitions are created by combining the selected single color with two or more halftones having anisotropic structure characteristics which are significantly different in orientation to each other while remaining identical in density. By alternatively assigning the color definitions to the image segment in accord with the variable data content, a variable data differential gloss image may be superimposed within an image having reduced data processing and storage requirements.

摘要： An artifact removal and quality assurance method and system for digital images, wherein a document comprising at least one printed page is scanned or the original image data are otherwise input. The input digital image data are segmented into components as to content type. The components are classified as either information or noise components. An information component image defined by the information components and a noise component image defined by the noise components are generated and displayed to the user. The user inputs quality assurance input data to indicate zero or more improperly classified components and any improperly classified component is reclassified. The component images are then regenerated and displayed to account for the reclassified component(s). The reclassified component is moved as a unit in real time as viewed by the user from an original location in one of the component images to a corresponding location in the other of the component images. Both component images are saved or otherwise output as desired.

摘要： The present invention relates to the expedient supply of differential gloss or other correlation mark text into a document image via a font definition, particularly as when desired in the employ of rendering variable data. A font character is selected and sub-sampled. The sub-sampled result is then scaled up into a full size result. A first halftone cell having a first anisotropic structure orientation is selected and applied to the full size scaled font result while a second halftone cell having a second anisotropic structure orientation is applied to the surrounding background around the full size scaled font result to create a gloss font or other correlation mark character. This full gloss font character or correlation mark character is then stored as a font representation as callable by the digital front end of a printing apparatus.

摘要： The present disclosure relates to providing a user interface for the effective generation of differential gloss images. The user is instructed to indicate the base primary image data, and the desired gloss image data. This data may be displayed for verification and position adjustment by superimposition of the gloss image data upon the base image data. In an alternative, the placement information may be inferred from the position of originals upon the scanner or copier platen and the result may or may not be displayed. By selectively applying halftones with different anisotropic structure orientation characteristics to the base primary image data as directed by the desired gloss image data, a differential gloss image file or hardcopy may be provided.

摘要： A method for editing image data includes segmenting input image data into a plurality of discrete objects, wherein each of the objects is defined by a plurality of input pixels that are spatially grouped and that relate to a common content type and feature of the input image data so as to define an objectized input image from the input image data. The objectized input image and a holding area image are generated and simultaneously displayed. Editing input is received from a user by user selection of an object of the objectized input image that the user desires to be moved from the objectized input image to the holding area image based upon the user's visual inspection of the objectized input image. The objectized input image and the holding area image are updated based upon the received editing input so that the selected object is deleted from an original location in the objectized input image and inserted into the holding area image as a temporary object at an insertion location that spatially corresponds to the original location of the objectized input image. The method further includes receiving replacement input data from the user that indicates a selected replacement object in a replacement object database to be inserted into the original location of the objectized input image. The objectized input image is updated to include the selected replacement object in the original location to define an objectized output image.

摘要： Methods and systems for adding identifying keywords to images stored within a database. A new image is compared to other images stored in a database using content based image retrieval methods. A user is automatically offered a set of keywords associated with stored images that most closely match the new image based on the comparison. The user can accept keywords contained in the offer or enter alternative keywords for the new image. A system can include a database adapted for storing images, a content based image retrieval module for providing text-associated image archiving, image management and image retrieval capabilities, database statistics module for providing statistical analysis regarding the number and type of images and metadata stored in the database, and a user interface (UI) adapted for providing user intervention during image archiving and further enables user acceptance of system suggestions, user selection of system suggestions, and enables user entry of user-provided keywords for association with images.
