摘要： Consistency of document reprints is improved by recording characteristics of a reference printing system used to produce a reference printing of a document, determining related characteristics of a reprint printing system, retrieving the recorded characteristics and compensating for differences between the reference system and the reprint system in the reprint system prior to using the reprint system to produce reprints of the document. Analytical test prints (TPs) are produced with the respective printing systems in close temporal association to the production of the respective reference prints and reprints. TPs can be customized according to aspects of the document. TP customization allows the compensation to address aspects of the printing systems that have a bearing on perceived consistency in the reprints. TPs can be customized with regard to colors in test patches or both the colors and locations of test patches on a page. Compensation is based on measurements of the TPs.

摘要： A method for encryption of a digital watermark by intelligent halftoning includes receiving image data that define at least a portion of a document to be printed in terms of at least three halftone images corresponding respectively to three printing colorants, each of the three halftone images comprising a plurality of halftone cells. The image data are modified by phase-shifting some of the halftone cells of at least one of the halftone images relative to the other halftone images to encode a watermark within the portion of the document such that the at least one phase-shifted halftone image includes a phase-shifted region and a non-phase-shifted region. The modified image data are used to print the portion of the document on a substrate that will fluoresce when subjected to UV illumination. The printed portion of the document includes a first printed pattern resulting from the phase-shifted region and a second printed pattern resulting from the non-phase-shifted region. The first and second patterns of the printed portion of the document appear substantially similar when the portion of the document is viewed in visible light, and appear dissimilar when the portion of the document is viewed in UV light such that the watermark encoded in the modified image data is perceptible when the portion of the document is viewed in UV light and is hidden when the portion of the document is viewed in visible light.

摘要： Systems and methods preserve the information lost in gamut-mapping during marking (e.g., printing) such that the lost information survives the marking and recapture (e.g. scanning) process. Generally, an encoding method may include gamut-mapping and image for a particular device; determining a residual image; and embedding the information needed to recover the residual image within the pixels of the gamut-mapped image. Generally, a decoding method may include extracting the embedded information from the image; and using the residual image to restore the gamut-mapped image to the original image.

摘要： The proposed systems and methods automatically select the node locations of a multi-dimensional lookup table transformation in accordance with the relative importance of multi-dimensional input values. Such importance, as an example could be quantified by the statistical distribution of the input data. Additionally, the proposed scheme is efficient and works for inputs of arbitrary dimensionality. Finally, the proposed method accounts the characteristics of the input-data and the geometry of the input space. The proposed systems and methods are generally applicable to a large number of practical scenarios including, but not limited to, color imaging applications where input adaptive color look-up tables are desired.

摘要： A computer program product and method for calibrating and characterizing a color display perform calibrating and characterizing steps. A light source is operated in order to emit light from one or more light emitters on the light source. A color capture device, e.g., a digital camera, is calibrated and characterized based on the emitted light. Then, color images are displayed on the color display and captured on the color capture device. The color display is calibrated and characterized based on the captured color images. Computer program instructions are recorded on the computer readable medium, and are executable by a processor, for performing the calibrating and characterizing steps. A method for generating a controlled light source includes displaying light source selections to a user and receiving a user light source selection. Selected light emitters produce a light output matching the user light source selection.

摘要： Methods and systems are presented for calibrating or characterizing a color printer or determining the color response of a color printer to combat spatial non-uniformity, in which color patches are printed on a test page according to an input matrix of input color in a printer-dependent-color space and the test page is measured to provide a corresponding output matrix of output color in a printer-independent-color space. Initial forward and inverse color transforms between the input and the output colors are generated based on the input and the output matrices. The output values are mapped to the input color space based on the initial inverse transform to form a feedback matrix, and spatial non-uniformities present in the printed test page are estimated according to noise values derived from the input matrix and the feedback matrix. The input matrix is modified according to the estimated spatial non-uniformity to form a modified input matrix of input color, and final forward and inverse transforms are generated for the color printer according to the modified input matrix and the output matrix.

摘要： A method is presented for deriving gamma for a display monitor that does not involve color matching tasks. The method includes displaying a test pattern to a user on the display monitor. The test pattern includes at least one of a pattern of alternating light and dark regions displayed to the user at different gamma correction levels, or a grayscale character string displayed to the user at different digital gray levels against a background of two known luminance levels. Input is received from the user as to at least one of a gamma correction level that results in the pattern of alternating light and dark regions having light and dark regions of perceived equal size, or a digital gray level for the grayscale character string that results in maximum legibility of the text string against the two known background luminance levels. Gamma is derived for the display monitor based upon the user input.

摘要： Provided herein are teachings directed to calibrating an output device such as a color display, using a visual method of determining the gamma for the blue primary that is easier to perform and more consistent than methodologies employing a luminance-matching task. The methodology is based on the insight that accurate gamma estimation for blue is important not for luminance reproduction, but for proper color-balance, and most importantly grey-balance. Thus, it follows to use grey-balancing, rather than luminance-matching, as the criterion for selecting the blue gamma value. One variant as taught herein is to provide a user visual task to find a patch best representing neutral, given previously determined calibrated digital values for the red and green primaries that produce 50% fractional luminance. A large patch is displayed within a larger surround containing both a white border and either a checkerboard or a line pattern, so as to establish a reference for the neutral axis. The user adjusts a control causing only the value of the blue primary to change. This changes the color of the patch in the middle, moving it along a line from yellowish to bluish. The user thus selects the value at which the patch appears most nearly neutral with respect to the surround. Effectively, the task is to match the chromaticity of a grey patch with that of a halftone pattern.
摘要翻译：本文提供的是针对校准诸如彩色显示器的输出设备的教导，使用与使用亮度匹配任务的方法相比更容易执行并且更一致的蓝色主要的伽马的可视方法。该方法基于以下认识：蓝色的精确伽玛估计对于亮度再现而言是重要的，但是对于适当的色彩平衡，最重要的是灰平衡。因此，使用灰度平衡而不是亮度匹配，作为用于选择蓝色伽马值的标准。给出本文教导的一种变型是提供用户可视化任务，以找到代表中性的最佳贴片，给出产生50％分数亮度的红色和绿色原色的先前确定的校准数字值。一个较大的贴片显示在一个包含白色边框和棋盘或线条图案的较大环绕中，以便建立中立轴的参考。用户调整仅导致蓝色主要值改变的控件。这会改变中间的补丁的颜色，将其沿着一条线从黄色移动到蓝色。因此，用户选择补丁出现的相对于环绕最接近中立的值。有效地，任务是将灰色贴片的色度与半色调图案的色度相匹配。
