摘要： Compensation for rendering device non-uniformities is provided for halftoned images. A spatially dependent tone reproduction curve (TRC) provides compensation values. Pixel location information is used to access TRC values. For example, the values are modification values. The modification values are added to the pixel values to generate combined values. Quantization is applied to the combined values to prepare compensated image data for rendering. For example, Rank Ordered Error Diffusion is applied to the combined values. The combined values may include diffused error from previously processed pixels. Gray values may be estimated for the respective pixels. The estimated gray values may be used to access compensation information from a TRC that is both spatially and gray value dependent. Mathematical basis decomposition is used to reduce TRC memory requirements. For example, Discrete Cosine Transformation, Singular Value Decomposition or Principal Component Analysis is used to determine a compact form for the TRC.

摘要： A color transformation method which accounts for colorant interactions includes establishing a plurality of tone reproduction curves (TRCs), for one or more of the color separations forming a digital image. Each TRC accounts for colorant interactions between a primary colorant with which the first color separation is to be rendered and at least one secondary colorant with which at least a second of the plurality of color separations is to be rendered. The TRCs include input values and their corresponding modified input values. In a given TRC, the input values of the second and optionally other color separations are fixed. For a pixel of the digital image having a given input values for the first and second color separation one or more of the TRCs are selected which bound the fixed input value for the second color separation and a modified input value is determined therefrom.

摘要： Spatially dependent colorant interaction effects are identified and isolated from other aspects of spatially dependent colorant appearance nonuniformities. A decorrelating function for compensating for the identified spatially dependent colorant interaction effects is determined. Spatially dependent single colorant compensating functions for compensating for the other aspects of the spatially dependent colorant appearance nonuniformities may also be determined. Image data is processed through the decorrelating function, thereby generating colorant values that are compensated for spatially dependent colorant interaction effects. Optionally, image data is also processed through the spatially dependent single colorant compensating functions, thereby generating colorant values that are compensated for both aspects of colorant appearance nonuniformities. The two kinds of compensating functions may be determined, calibrated and/or stored at different spatial and temporal frequencies or resolutions. One or both of the compensating functions may be employed to maintain consistency across a plurality of rendering devices (e.g., marking engines).

摘要： The teachings provided herein disclose a method for corner sharpening in the display of a bitmapped digital image. The method includes the steps of selecting a target pixel location within the digital image; observing a set of pixels within a pixel observation window superimposed on the digital image relative to the target pixel location; generating edge-state codes for a plurality of pairs of neighboring vectors of pixels within the pixel observation window; generating corner-identification codes from the plurality of edge-state codes using at least one look-up table so as to thereby identify corner pixels; and, assigning a pixel value in an output image plane in a location corresponding to the target pixel in the input image, such that assigned value extends a corner where indicated by a corner identification code, thereby producing a sharpening effect. The method may be used for improving the print quality of line-art corners and other fine details as found in both font and image data.
