摘要： The present invention is a method and apparatus for automatic image segmentation using template matching filters. The invention generally segments differing binary textures or structures within an input image by passing one or more structures while removing other structures. More particularly, the method and apparatus segment a stored binary image using a template matching filter that is designed to pass therethrough, for example, text regions while removing halftone regions.

摘要： An error diffusion processor for preparing a document image for printing. Shadows and highlights regions stress error diffusion processes, because accumulated error cannot be easily compensated for in these regions. Edge enhancement emphasizes the problem by locally increasing error in order to maintain spatial detail of the image. The arrangement described puts an additional term into the error calculation that is a function of local intensity, with substantial value only in shadow and highlight regions to correct for edge enhancement artifacts.

摘要： A method of improving the contrast in a natural scene image. A relevant histogram of the image is derived for from a selected subset of local histograms representing regions of the image. The signal describing the histogram is operated on with a filter having the characteristic of weakening strong peaks and valleys in the function, but not effecting flat portions of the signal. The filtered histogram signal is used for controlling the TRC mapping in a device at which the image is to be printed. To assure optimum selection of local histograms, regions including the black point and white point of an image are determined and added to the subset of local histograms representing regions of the image.

摘要： A method of decompressing a document image compressed with JPEG ADCT and a subsequent statistical encoding method, includes an iterative processing step, which filters the image to correct for compression/decompression artifacts, and subsequently checks the ADCT coefficients of the filtered image to determine whether the filtered image is a possible one, given the received original ADCT coefficients and Q-Table description. In such an arrangement, the iterative process step can be terminated at a preselected number of iterations based on the measured size of the statistical encoding prior to removing the statistical encoding.

摘要： An image processing system for preparing a color document for printing, each discrete area or pixel in the image described by a signal having a number of possible states greater than can be rendered by a selected printer, in which each separation of the image is halftoned, with at least one of the separations processed with a non-periodic halftoning method, and at least one of the remaining separations processed with a periodic pattern. Preferably, in a printer printing with colorants approximating cyan, magenta, yellow and black, one of the non-yellow separations is processed with the non-periodic halftoning method.

摘要： High addressability image signals, each representing a pixel in an image, where the signal has one of a relatively large number of signal levels, are directed through an error diffusion quantization process, for the conversion of the signal to one of a relatively small number of levels. Each signal is modified by a correspondingly weighted error correction term signal or signals from previously processed image signals, thereby generating a modified image signal. This modified image signal is compared to a threshold to derive a preliminary output signal having a smaller number of levels. The preliminary output signal is directed to an output if it has the same level as the previous output signal. If the preliminary output signal does not have the same level as the previous output signal, the preliminary output signal is directed to the output only if the previous output signal was one of a contiguous group of a preselected number of like level signals. Otherwise, the previous output value is directed to the output. The actual output signal is then compared to the modified input signal to derive an error signal for the diffusion feedback loop that maintains gray density.
摘要翻译：每个表示图像中的像素的高可寻址性图像信号，其中信号具有相对大量的信号电平之一，被引导通过误差扩散量化处理，用于将信号转换成相对较小数目的信号水平。每个信号被相应加权的纠错项信号或来自先前处理过的图像信号的信号修改，由此产生经修改的图像信号。将该修改后的图像信号与阈值进行比较以导出具有较小数量级别的初步输出信号。如果初始输出信号具有与先前输出信号相同的电平，则将其输出到输出。如果初步输出信号与先前的输出信号不具有相同的电平，则只有当前一个输出信号是预定数量的类似电平信号的连续组之一时，初步输出信号被引导到输出。否则，以前的输出值被定向到输出。然后将实际输出信号与修改的输入信号进行比较，以导出维持灰度密度的扩散反馈回路的误差信号。

摘要： A bitmap to be prepared for printing by a printing process with a characteristic dilation or erosion artifact, is initially increased in resolution by a selected factor. The bitmapped image is then increased or decreased in size, at the increased resolution, by an amount necessary to compensate for the characteristic erosion or dilation of the printing process. The bitmap is rescanned, or reduced in resolution, to the original resolution of the image. The rescanned image is highly binary in appearance, but will include a number of gray level pixels in areas where it has been increased in size. Prior to printing, the pixel values are subjected to a quantizing process where gray level pixel values are reduced to binary values, preferably through an error diffusion process which operates only on gray pixels. The process of increasing the bitmap resolution may include a step of smoothing halfbitting.

摘要： A method of dynamically adjusting the threshold level of an error diffusion algorithm to selectively control the amount of edge enhancement introduced into the encoded output. The threshold level is selectively modified on a pixel by pixel basis and may be used to increase or decrease the edge enhancement of the output digital image, thus, more closely representing the original detail and edge sharpness of the continuous tone input image.

摘要： Disclosed are methods and apparatus for providing extended functionality to a networked device, the networked device connected in a network, as well as corresponding apparatus and computer-readable medium. The embodiments intercept data communications in which the networked device is a party, the data communications being intercepted by an interdictor, receive at the interdictor a subscription registration for notification of a networked device event which is to be altered, the subscription registration being received from an extension service, determine whether the data communications in which the networked device is a party corresponds to the subscription registration of the networked device event which is to be altered, and modify the data communications in which the networked device is a party to provide the extended functionality when the data communications are determined to correspond to the subscription registration of networked device event to be altered. According to one exemplary embodiment, the event is altered to include a security feature within a document associated with a print job.
