    摘要: This invention relates to an imaging device that extends the processing of resources to data having a greater bit-depth. A signal having data at the first bit-depth is received, and at least a portion of the data at the first bit-depth is converted into an estimated value that is at the second bit-depth. A residual that indicates a difference between the data and the estimated value is determined. The estimated value is processed through the resource to form processed data that is at the second bit-depth. The data is then substantially recovered at the first bit-depth from the processed data that is at the second bit-depth and based on the residual.

    摘要: A method adapts image data using more than eight bits per pixel to be compatible with devices using only 8-bit per pixel data. The method separates the higher bit depth data into an 8-bit image data stream, the balance of the bits are carried in a separate tag data stream. The 8-bit image data stream can be used in legacy devices that can handle only 8-bit data, and the tag data stream can be used in legacy devices that incorporate a tag data stream for their internal image processing.

    摘要: In a machine-fed scanner, orientation angles of edges of an image bearing substrate are obtained and used to calculate image shear and/or skew. A running weighted average of the image skew may be kept in a memory. When a skew value is obtained for a given image, it may be determined whether the skew value is within a predetermined range. If the skew value is within the predetermined range, the skew value is used to determine an image revision to compensate for the skew, and the skew value is incorporated into the running weighted average skew. If the skew value is not within the predetermined range, it is discarded and the running weighted average skew is used to determine an appropriate image skew revision. The running weighted average of the shear may also be kept in a memory. A shear value is obtained for each image, and incorporated into the running weighted average shear. Shear revision is performed based on the running weighted average shear. A determination may be made whether the shear value for a current image is within a predetermined range, and the running weighted average shear may be updated based on the shear value for the current image if the shear value for the current image is within the predetermined range.

    摘要: A method for dynamic range adjustment of image data of a captured image by determining a white point of an image. The method also involves determining a black point of the image, classifying pixels of the image, and determining an offset value for a pixel of the image based on the determined black point of the image and the determined classification of the pixel. Dynamic range adjustment of the image data is performed using the determined offset value for the pixels of the image and the determined white point of the image.

    摘要: Disclosed is a processor-implemented method for processing images. The processor receives image data of a color space defined by input provided to a system by a user, determines at least one color attribute of the pixels in the received image correlating to at least perceptual image characteristics, determines statistics using the attribute(s), and analyzes the statistics to classify the image into a category. Based on at least the category, a billing structure for the image is determined. For example, chroma and/or hue of pixels can be used to create histograms, whose data is used to determine a degree of color and/or content of an image, which is categorized. Color space components of received pixels can also be statistically analyzed. Such determinations consider billing based on human perception of use of color. Billing for color images in this manner satisfies the user and increases use of color output (e.g., printing).

    摘要: A system determines the noise level of image data by high pass filtering image data. Absolutes values of the high pass filtered image data are determined. Thereafter, multiple mean values for absolute values less than a predetermined number of threshold values are determined. Based upon the determined mean values, a plurality of estimated mean values is calculated, each estimated mean value being calculated from a combination of two determined mean values. The noise of the image is determined from a combination of the minimum estimated mean value and the maximum estimated mean value. This noise can be optionally used by a sigma filter, at Step S740, to sigma filter the image data.

    摘要: A streak detection method and system in a fixed imaging array digital scanning system obtains image data from each of the plurality of rows in the at least one full color spectrum channel set of rows of positionally discrete sensors and integrates this data to produce an estimate of image data recorded by at least one clear channel row of positionally discrete sensors. A clear channel error signal is generated by the comparison to alert the operator to the presence of non-image data. The clear channel error signal may be refined to through a low pass column filtering process in order to filter out potentially erroneous clear channel error resulting from thermal, mechanical or other noise sources unrelated to image scanning. Stationary obstructions in the field of view of the imaging array, or defects in one or more sensors in the imaging array, are detected through this comparison which would otherwise appear repeatedly reproduced as streaks or lines in the reproduced output image.

    摘要: A method and apparatus are provided for determining a weighted average measured reflectance parameter Rm for pixels in an image for use in integrated cavity effect correction of the image. For each pixel of interest Pi,j in the image, an approximate spatial dependent average Ai,j, Bi,j of video values in a region of W pixels by H scan lines surrounding the pixel of interest Pi,j is computed by convolving video values Vi,j of the image in the region with a uniform filter. For each pixel of interest Pi,j a result of the convolving step is used as the reflectance parameter Rm. The apparatus includes a video buffer for storing the pixels of the original scanned image, and first and second stage average buffers for storing the computed approximate spatial dependent averages Ai,j, Bi,j. First and second stage processing circuits respectively generate the first and second stage average values Ai,j, Bi,j by convolving the video values of the image in a preselected region with a uniform filter.
