摘要： A method and apparatus for producing halftone images which utilizes the advantageous stochastic patterning of dots found in frequency-modulated, blue-noise masks, and avoids the problem of dot gain provided in amplitude-modulated masks. Here a green-noise spectrum is used to generate a dither mask and the halftone patterns for each gray-level are subjected to the stacking constraint. The filters used in building the green-noise masks comprise filters using the conventional blue-noise mask for a coarseness parameter M′(g)=1 and filters having a principle frequency fg less than the principle frequency of blue-noise fb when coarseness parameter M′(g)>1. Unlike blue-noise dither patterns, green-noise dither patterns comprise pixel clusters, making them less susceptible to image degradation from dot gain, generating dot-profiles that are visually pleasing to the human eye.

摘要： The present invention embodies a technique, referred to as Secure QR Codes, which not only provides aesthetically enhanced QR codes but also allows for security. It can embed a standard black and white QR code, referred to as a public QR code, and a secret QR code, both into a secure QR code. The secure QR code produced is composed of colored cells. The public black and white QR code must first be, either aesthetically enhanced into an enhanced colored QR code, or transformed into a colored QR code with cells of uniform color obtained by transforming each of the black and white cells of the public QR code into cells that takes a color from a subset of possible colors, such that the luminance of each colored cell approximates accurately the black or white luminance values of the public QR code.

摘要： An image may be quantized into a pattern of dots, e.g., for devices capable of printing dots of variable size and variable color intensity. One may use a pre-determined mapping of the continuous-tone intensity value into a discrete vector of intensity values, and each intensity value may then be processed by a set of binary quantizers. The resulting binary vector may then be mapped into a combination of available dot sizes and color intensities. Through a scalar multiplier, the pre-determined mapping of continuous-tone intensity values may be used as multiple print resolutions.

摘要： A method and system for using one or more sensors configured to capture two-dimensional and/or three dimensional image data of one or more objects. In particular, the method and system combine one or more digital sensors with visible and near infrared illumination to capture visible and non-visible range spectral image data for one or more objects. The captured spectral image data can be used to separate and identify the one or more objects. Additionally, the three-dimensional image data can be used to determine a volume for each of the one or more objects. The identification and volumetric data for one or more objects can be used individually or in combination to obtain characteristics about the objects. The method and system provide the user with the ability to capture images of one or more objects and obtain related characteristics or information about each of the one or more objects.
