摘要： A system and method digitally scans a document using a high reflectance mode and a low reflectance mode. Initially, a platen cover provides a low reflectance background around the document and the scanner scans the low reflectance background and document to determine an edge of the document or to retrieve other image characteristics of the document. Subsequently, the platen cover changes so as to provide a high reflectance background around the document. The scanner then scans the high reflectance background and the document and produces digital image data relating to an image on the document.

摘要： The present invention is a method and apparatus for generating N-bit per pixel output signals in response to M-bit per pixel image input signals, where M is greater than N. The invention employs a halftone cell threshold memory that stores a single threshold for each cell element. During real-time processing of the video image signals, multiple thresholds are calculated based upon the stored thresholds, and the image signals are compared to the thresholds. The threshold calculation process is simplified by using equally spaced constants and any desired variation from the resulting equally spaced thresholds is accomplished through a remapping of the video image signals using a look-up table. The output of the plurality of comparisons carried out for each halftone cell element is then encoded to produce a digital gray-scale output signal.

摘要： A method and system implements a redistributive characteristic into an error diffusion process. A grey level value representing a pixel is received. A threshold circuit thresholds the received grey level value and generates an error value as a result of the threshold. A portion of the error value is diffused to adjacent pixels on a next scanline. All the error for a single pixel on the next scanline is accumulated. Since this accumulated error has a greater number of bits than can be stored in a buffer, a portion of the accumulated error is truncated and redistributed to a down stream pixel for inclusion in the downstream pixel's error accumulation process. The grey level value has a first resolution which corresponds to an original input resolution. In a high addressabilty environment, the received grey level value is interpolated to subpixel grey level values before thresholding.

摘要： A method and apparatus for controlling the execution of image processing operations carried out on an array of image signals, the specific operations having been identified by a plurality of predefined windows. The windows are divided into a plurality of non-overlapping tiles, the boundaries of which correspond to transitions from one window region to another. Each tile therefore defines an exclusive region within the array of image signals, and the image processing operations to be applied to the signals within the boundaries of that region. Tile data is stored in one of two memory banks, thereby enabling bank switching and reprogramming of the device in real-time to permit management of complex window shapes. The apparatus is designed to efficiently manage the identification of tile regions while minimizing the required decoding hardware. The apparatus also provides flexibility of programming resulting in greater efficiency of memory usage.

摘要： There is provided a method to convert gray level image data from image input terminals, into binary data for high-addressability image output terminals. High addressability output terminals such as printers increase their virtual resolution in the fast scan direction in order to achieve a higher effective printing resolution. For example, one pixel in the slow scan direction divided into eight pixels in the fast scan direction, improves a printer's actual resolution from n spots.times.m spots per unit area to (8 * n) spots.times.m spots per unit area. Gray level input data representing pixel data from image input terminals such as scanners is encoded by either an analog signal or a quantized digital signal with a large number of levels (e.g. 256 levels). Binary output data has pixels with either a value of one or zero or a much smaller number of gray levels compared to digital input signals.
