    摘要: A compact rendering processor for processing image data including a multi-bit halftone region generates high addressability pixels. The compact rendering processor includes a tagging sub-processor operating on the image data to identify a target pixel and a neighboring pixel to determine a fill-order. The compact rendering processor also includes a rendering sub-processor that converts the target pixel into a high addressability pixel based upon the fill-order. Optionally, a diffusion sub-processor can be included to diffuse an error resulting from the conversion of the target pixel into a high addressability pixel to other pixels within the image data.

    摘要: A method of reproducing a document including halftoned regions therein scans the document to generate scanned image data comprising a digitized representation of said document. The scanned image data that corresponds to the halftoned regions is then rendered using a compact rendering process that includes positioning an observation window about a target pixel and a neighboring pixel; selecting a fill-order based upon a result of the analyzing step; and generating a high addressability pixel as a function of the selected fill-order.

    摘要: The present invention is a method and apparatus for the identification and tagging of antialiased pixels within regions of an image. The techniques described improve the recognition of fine gray features and enable the detection of both black and white features on high and low contrast backgrounds. The system relies on the establishment of the sense (positive/negative) of an image by first using a histogramming operation. Once the sense is determined, a plurality of logical channels are used to select a threshold, binarize a region of the image, generate a vector representative of the region, and to process the vector to identify whether an antialiased pixel is present therein. Subsequently, the output of the channels is logically combined to produce an antialias tag.

    摘要: Error is distributed to pixels neighboring a pixel of interest based on a ranking of the neighboring pixels. The ranking is based on pixel values of the neighboring pixels. Optionally a spatial weighting is applied to the pixel values before ranking, to provide a preference for pixels closest to the pixel of interest or to a particular portion of a related halftone screen. Rank order based error diffusion provides compact halftone dots without patterning artifacts. An image processing system operative to perform rank order error diffusion includes a pixel ranker and an error diffuser. In a xerographic environment the image processing system includes a xerographic printer.

    摘要: A method for processing digital images to be displayed, stored, or printed, to eliminate blooming and other artifacts. The system utilizes morphological processes to isolate and modify image structures susceptible to marking process artifacts and then combines the modified image structures with the input image to produce a printable image that may be rendered on a given printer.

    摘要: A method for rendering a raster output level determines an image position of a pixel of interest (POI) within an image. An intended raster output level, which corresponds to the POI, is received into a processing device. A final raster input level is determined as a function of the image position and the intended raster output level. The final input level and the image position are transmitted to an output device. An actual raster output level is rendered, via the output device, at a position on an output medium corresponding to the image position. The actual raster output level substantially matches the intended raster output level.
