    摘要: A color printing process, printing a color image in which out-of-gamut original colors are present. For each pixel defined by an original color which is determined to be out of gamut, a gamut remapping process is applied to map each pixel to a color which is within a printer gamut, remapping said pixels to colors within an output printer gamut. For a given set of gamut remapped pixels, gamut remapped pixel colors are compared with said original pixel colors, to derive a comparison metric. Using the comparison metric, a corrected set of gamut remapped colors is generated. The comparison metric may be subjected to an adaptive filtering process, which strengthens the comparison metric in high frequency image regions to increase its impact on the gamut remapped colors, and weakens the comparison metric in low frequency areas, to weaken its impact on the gamut remapped colors. The filter is selected by determining a filter selection metric in accordance with measured local image activity and changing filter parameters as a function of the determined filter selection metric.

    摘要: A simplified color space transformation method uses a principal axis or dominating parameter in a first color space to determine the value of an associated axis in a second color space. Transformation curves relating the principal axis to the associated second space axis are predetermined and stored. Each curve describes the relationship between the principal axis and the associated axis given certain values for remaining, secondary or non-principal first color space axes. In operation the non-principal axes are used to calculate index values. For example, the non-principal values are quantized. The index values are used to access an appropriate curve. The principal axis value is used as an index into the appropriate curve. An image processor operative to perform the method comprises a transformation curve library. Software modules running on a computational device, such as, a microprocessor or digital signal processor analyze image pixels and access appropriate curves for use in transforming the pixel into a new color space.

    摘要: Color printing systems frequently use multiresolution analysis, which creates intermediate lower resolution images, in applications such as descreening and filtering. The typical steps are to decompose the original image into sub bands, apply the application to one or more sub bands and then recompose the image, prior to color correction and color space transformation. This disclosure describes applying the color correction to one of the lower resolution sub bands and a simpler color space transformation to the final image as a way to reduce the amount of computation. The described multiresolution analysis is a wavelet transform.

    摘要: An apparatus, method and system optimizes Huffman codes within the Huffman tables without requiring buffering an entire uncompressed original image. Compression of a whole image is performed prior to storage in a buffer. Therefore, the necessary buffer size for performing computation of symbol frequencies in order to optimize Huffman codes is reduced. Default Huffman codes are used to pre-compress the image for storage in the buffer. Simultaneously, the input symbol frequency is determined to produce optimized Huffman codes. The optimized Huffman codes are used to optimally re-encode the encoded image data to reduce the space of the re-encoded data. The optimally encoded image data can then be stored and/or transmitted.

    摘要: A method of fast decompressing a document image compressed using transform coding for scaling and previewing purposes. A fast algorithm is derived by utilizing a fraction of all available transform coefficients representing the image. The method is particularly efficient using the discrete cosine transform which is used in the JPEG ADCT algorithm. In JPEG ADCT, a very fast and efficient implementation is derived for a resolution reduction factor of 16 to 1 (4 to 1 in each direction) without needing any floating point arithmetic operations.

    摘要: A method of deriving a preview image from CCITT-compressed digital image data that represent an original image is disclosed. The method comprises receiving CCITT-compressed image data that represent an original image having Nr rows and Nc columns. Without decompressing the CCITT-compressed data, a preview image is derived that has Nr/M rows each having Nc/M pixel values. The reducing step includes processing each group of M rows of said original image represented in the CCITT-compressed data. Specifically, the CCITT-compressed data that represent the group of M rows of the original image is read. For each constituent row in the group of M rows, a location in the row is derived for each transition represented in the CCITT-compressed data. For each constituent row in the group of M rows, each transition in the row is mapped to a pixel value in a reduced row having Nc/M pixel values. Therefore, for each group of M rows in the original image, M reduced rows are defined. In each case, the M reduced rows are combined by averaging or the like into a single preview row having Nc/M preview pixel values. The preview image is assembled from Nr/M preview rows.
