摘要： A process for improving the reconstruction of images compressed by the wavelet-based JPEG2000 specification. The basic reconstruction is followed by an edge-preserving filter (such as a sigma filter), another transform to the wavelet domain, an adjustment in the wavelet domain to yield the same quantized values as the compressed input image, and, finally, an inverse wavelet transform to yield the improved image. The process reduces the artifacts in sharp text and graphics documents, yielding images that would otherwise require larger files.

摘要： A method for run-time streak removal from a scanned image includes providing a scan line of image data from the scanned image; detecting corrupted data within the scan line; evaluating image data located in a neighborhood before and after the corrupted data on the scan line; if the evaluated image data in the neighborhood is smooth, replacing the corrupted data with image data determined by a linear interpolation process; and else if the evaluated image data in the neighborhood is not smooth, replacing the corrupted data with image data determined by the linear prediction process. Various techniques can be used to evaluate the image data located in the surrounding neighborhood. For example, a filter selection step may be used based on prediction discrepancies.

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： Disclosed are methods/systems to embed a watermark into a contone image. Specifically, the disclosed methods and systems spatially modulate a contone image substantially adjacent a watermark area according to a first polarization and spatially modulate the contone image substantially within the watermark area according to a second polarization. These spatially modulated images may then be subsequently processed, stored, communicated and/or rendered.

摘要： The teachings as provided herein relate to a watermark embedded in an image, and methodology for same, that has the property of being relatively indecipherable under normal light, and yet decipherable under UV light. This fluorescent mark comprises a substrate containing optical brightening agents, and a first dot design printed as an image upon the substrate. The first dot design has as a characteristic, the property of strongly suppressing substrate fluorescence. A second dot design having a property of providing a differing level of substrate fluorescence suppression from that of the first dot design such that when rendered in close spatial proximity with the first dot design image print, the resultant image rendered substrate suitably exposed to an ultra-violet light source, will yield a discernable image evident as a fluorescent mark.
