    摘要: A system for enabling depth perception of image content in a rendered composite image, wherein illuminant/colorant depth discrimination encoding provides encoding of first and second source images in a composite image, for the purposes of subsequent illuminant/colorant depth discrimination decoding. Composite image rendering allows for rendering the composite image in a physical form. Illuminant/colorant depth discrimination decoding allows recovery of the first and second source images, thus offering to an observer the perception of spatial disparity between at least one of the recovered source images and some or all of the remaining image content perceived in the rendered composite image.

    摘要: Compensation for rendering device non-uniformities is provided for halftoned images. A spatially dependent tone reproduction curve (TRC) provides compensation values. Pixel location information is used to access TRC values. For example, the values are modification values. The modification values are added to the pixel values to generate combined values. Quantization is applied to the combined values to prepare compensated image data for rendering. For example, Rank Ordered Error Diffusion is applied to the combined values. The combined values may include diffused error from previously processed pixels. Gray values may be estimated for the respective pixels. The estimated gray values may be used to access compensation information from a TRC that is both spatially and gray value dependent. Mathematical basis decomposition is used to reduce TRC memory requirements. For example, Discrete Cosine Transformation, Singular Value Decomposition or Principal Component Analysis is used to determine a compact form for the TRC.

    摘要: A color correction method includes for each of a plurality of color separations of a digital image, establishing a tone reproduction curve in the form of a vector. The vector is a function of a plurality of basis vectors. The basis vectors account for colorant interactions between a primary colorant with which the color separation is to be rendered and at least one secondary colorant with which at least a second of the plurality of color separations is to be rendered. The vector includes modified input values corresponding to input values for the color separation which vary, depending on the input values of at least the second color separation. For a pixel of interest in the digital image, a modified input value for the color separation which corresponds to the input value of the given color separation is identified from the vector.

    摘要: Engine response curves (RCs) can be used for streak compensation for printed documents. A feedback control paradigm can be included to effect RC compensation. Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) can be used to represent each RC in the collection of spatial RC data as a linear combination of basis vectors. RCs are approximated by selecting the first few basis vectors, the approximation aiding in noise rejection and reducing computation in the controller by reducing dimensionality of the RC data from gray levels to the number of SVD bases selected. An optimal subset of RCs is selectable from the set of approximated RCs by clustering the SVD weights, the clustered SVD weights producing TRCs that span all engine response RCs generated by a printer. Compensation RCs are constructible using reduced number of bases and clustered SVD weights

    摘要: A color transformation method which accounts for colorant interactions includes establishing a plurality of tone reproduction curves (TRCs), for one or more of the color separations forming a digital image. Each TRC accounts for colorant interactions between a primary colorant with which the first color separation is to be rendered and at least one secondary colorant with which at least a second of the plurality of color separations is to be rendered. The TRCs include input values and their corresponding modified input values. In a given TRC, the input values of the second and optionally other color separations are fixed. For a pixel of the digital image having a given input values for the first and second color separation one or more of the TRCs are selected which bound the fixed input value for the second color separation and a modified input value is determined therefrom.

A system includes a library of output patterns in association with encoded resolution bit patterns, a block analyzer, a block selector and an encoder.

    摘要: Spatially dependent colorant interaction effects are identified and isolated from other aspects of spatially dependent colorant appearance nonuniformities. A decorrelating function for compensating for the identified spatially dependent colorant interaction effects is determined. Spatially dependent single colorant compensating functions for compensating for the other aspects of the spatially dependent colorant appearance nonuniformities may also be determined. Image data is processed through the decorrelating function, thereby generating colorant values that are compensated for spatially dependent colorant interaction effects. Optionally, image data is also processed through the spatially dependent single colorant compensating functions, thereby generating colorant values that are compensated for both aspects of colorant appearance nonuniformities. The two kinds of compensating functions may be determined, calibrated and/or stored at different spatial and temporal frequencies or resolutions. One or both of the compensating functions may be employed to maintain consistency across a plurality of rendering devices (e.g., marking engines).
