摘要： The present invention is a method and apparatus for improving the appearance of electronic images, and more specifically, to the efficient use of template rotation within a template matching process to enhance such images. The invention reduces the number of entries that are stored in a look up table by eliminating identical patterns that differ only by the angle at which they are output. The appropriate templates are then rotated it by the required angle for output subsequent to their retrieval from the lookup table.

摘要： The methods and apparatus of this invention model and reconstruct binarized images. A grayscale image is modeled using a template matching approach. Each binarized grayscale image value is characterized by a unique set of templates which are rotations of each other. The set of templates allows construction of a look-up table between patterns and grayscale values. The look-up table is provided with a limited number of entries. As a result, the number of entries in the look-up table is reduced. The look-up table thus obtained is used for reconstructing the original grayscale image from the binarized image. The generated image quality is good in comparison with conventional methods. The process may be applied to various halftoning processes including error-diffusion processes.

摘要： A method and apparatus for automating the design of morphological or template-based filters for print quality enhancement. A plurality of different phase, but same resolution, subsampled images are generated from training documents. Statistical data derived therefrom is then employed in an automated process to generate filters. The filters may be used for resolution enhancement and/or conversion of bitmap images. Furthermore, the statistical data is used to produce filters that are intended to not only optimize image structure, but image density as well.

摘要： A hybrid halftone cell selection method enables selection of gray levels in halftone printing algorithms to minimize the effects of noise resulting in nonuniformities, such as, for example, halftone banding. The method requires selection of hybrid halftone cells possessing structures wherein the total number of gray pixels are limited. The number of gray pixels having any given intermediate reflectance level in any halftone cell is also limited. The cell selection method thus reduces the number of TRC gray steps to some minimum required number by eliminating the most noise sensitive cells (i.e. those cells having the highest percentage of gray level pixels). The intermediate reflectance values of the gray pixels in the selected cells are then selected to produce uniform gray steps and reduce variability in the TRC.
摘要翻译：混合半色调细胞选择方法使得能够在半色调打印算法中选择灰度级以最小化导致不均匀性（例如半色调条带）的噪声的影响。该方法需要选择具有其中灰色像素总数有限的结构的混合半色调细胞。在任何半色调单元中具有任何给定中间反射率水平的灰度像素的数量也受到限制。因此，通过消除大多数噪声敏感小区（即具有最高百分比灰度像素的那些小区），小区选择方法将TRC灰阶的数目减少到一些最小所需数量。然后选择所选单元格中的灰色像素的中间反射率值，以产生均匀的灰阶，并减少TRC中的变异性。

摘要： In a printer, a controller keeps track of the imager's operation. The original image is transferred into a continuous tone image by using a tone reproduction curve. That signal is encoded into gray pixel data by a halftoner. The pixel data contains the pixel location and the desired darkness of gray, i.e., amount of toner deposited. An imager uses the pixel data to generate the final halftoned image in a printer. A controller generates a feedback signal based on the printer's operation and the quality of the final halftoned image. The imager uses the feedback signal to modify the encoded gray pixel data in order to adjust the final halftoned image. The original coding of the image into gray pixel data is generic and does not depend on the characteristics of the printer being used. This invention reduces the computation of gray pixel data and allows the imager to be separate from the apparatus generating the gray pixel data.

摘要： A gray pixel encoding scheme is used in combination with a halftoner and an imager to produce halftoned images. A halftoner and an imager can be totally separate because the gray pixel encoding allows the imager to decode them at any time. The encoded gray pixels require less bandwidth than explicit gray pixels and can be decoded by the imager in an optimal fashion for the characteristics of the specific printer being used. An imager produces a small partial pixel within a spot boundary. The subpixel produced is called a gray pixel. The gray pixel is allowed to grow from a zero width to a full spot width and is allowed to start anywhere within the spot. The pixel codes describe the starting positions of the gray pixels, the locations of the gray pixels within the spot, and the gray pixel width required. The imager uses the encoded gray pixel from the halftoner to produce a final halftoned image. The list of encoded pixels produced by the halftoner can be stored and used at a later time or sent through a network to a different imager to be printed out.
摘要翻译：灰度像素编码方案与半色调和成像器组合使用以产生半色调图像。半色调和成像器可以完全分离，因为灰度像素编码允许成像器随时对它们进行解码。编码的灰色像素需要比显式灰度像素少的带宽，并且可以由成像器以针对所使用的特定打印机的特性的最佳方式进行解码。成像器在斑点边界内产生一小部分像素。所生成的子像素被称为灰色像素。允许灰度像素从零宽度增长到整个光点宽度，并允许其在任意位置开始。像素码描述了灰色像素的起始位置，斑点内的灰色像素的位置以及所需的灰色像素宽度。成像器使用来自半色调的编码灰色像素来产生最终的半色调图像。由半色调生成的编码像素列表可以在以后存储和使用，或通过网络发送到不同的打印机打印输出。

摘要： A method and system for providing a virtual rendering alert with respect to a rendering job page exception. A realistic virtual three-dimensional rendering model with respect to the rendering job can be rendered utilizing a virtual rendering unit. One or more multi-media aspects can be added with respect to an anomalous object in the rendering job to automatically identify a page exception in the rendering job. A list of objects associated with the rendering job can be activated within a scene based on a set of print policies and/or production cost structures at the discretion of a user. A virtual clue can also be presented along with the realistic virtual rendering model in order to provide additional information with respect to the object in the rendering job and thereby effectively identify the rendering job exception.
