摘要： Disclosed is a system and method for optimizing submission of output jobs to a network of output devices, using an output job manager to assign jobs to devices. The assignments are done automatically, based on policies associated with users, output devices, organizations responsible for the output devices, and the system as a whole. User output preferences are expressed as one or more user policies. System and organizational constraints associated with users and output devices and the managing of groups of output devices are also expressed as policies. An optimizing scheduler calculates tradeoffs between user preferences, and factors in constraints to optimize submission of jobs to output devices, and to optimize use and wait times on the output devices.

摘要： A robust means of watermarking a digitized image with a highly random sequence of pixel brightness multipliers is presented. The random sequence is formed from ‘robust-watermarking-parameters’ selected and known only by the marker and/or the marking entity. A watermarking plane is generated having an element array with one-to-one element positional correspondence with the pixels of the digitized image being marked. Each element of the watermarking plane is assigned a random value dependent upon a robust random sequence and a specified brightness modulation strength. The so generated watermarking plane is imparted onto the digitized image by multiplying the brightness value or values of each pixel by its corresponding element value in the watermarking plane. The resulting modified brightness values impart the random and relatively invisible watermark onto the digitized image. Brightness modulation is the essence of watermark imparting. Detection of an imparted watermark requires knowing the watermarking plane with which the watermark was imparted. Regeneration of the watermarking plane requires knowledge of the robust-marking-parameters used in its formulation. This is generally only known to the marker and/or marking entity. Once regenerated, the watermarking plane is used together with a verifying image located in a ‘visualizer’ to demonstrate the existence of the watermark. The process of watermark detection is enhanced by application of a blurring filter to the marked image before detection is attempted.

摘要： A method, system and computer article are presented for smoothing an image calibration signal in order to smooth a reproduced signal, and to identify the presence of any remaining spikes or other significant deviations. The invention recognizes the problems with raw calibration signals, and posits that the calibration signals be filtered by methods and systems described. For example, calibration data may be smoothed by fitting the calibration data to a parametric model employing either linear or non-linear least squares. Alternate techniques implement smoothing using optimal filtering. An aspect of the invention is a method, computer product or article of manufacture for improving an initial calibration profile having an initial profile extent to form an improved calibration profile. The initial profile may be formed for a scanner employing a linear array CCD and having a particular direction of motion. One method includes forming an extended profile extent in the direction of motion using quadratic extrapolation, applying multirate filtering to the extended profile to form a filtered profile, and truncating the filtered profile to bring it to the initial profile extent to form the improved calibration profile.

摘要： A method, computer program product, and a program storage device readable by machine, for repurposing images includes classifying the pixels of a binary image as being either halftone image pixels or non-halftone image pixels, further processing the halftoned image pixels with halftone image pixel processing and combining the outputs of the halftone image pixel processing and non-halftone image pixel processing to prepare the images for a second purpose such as a second printer. The processing that classifies the binary pixels as being either halftone image pixels or non-halftone image pixels segments the image into regions of halftone image pixels and regions of non-halftone image pixels. The processing of regions of halftone image pixels first constructs an intermediate gray scale representation of the regions of halftone image pixels. The processing to construct the gray scale representation of the region of halftone image pixels estimates the primary periodicity of the values of the binary pixels within the region of halftone image pixels. The intermediate gray scale image is rehalftoned and combined with the non-halftone image to form the repurposed image.

摘要： A watermarking scheme which allows the watermarked image to be authenticated by an authentication agent without revealing the human-readable content of the image. There is disclosed an approach which combines privacy control with watermarking and authentication mechanisms. The watermark can be made to be imperceptible to humans. Public key cryptography allows the authentication agent to authenticate without being able to watermark an image.

摘要： A system quickly verifies that the content of an image has not been changed since an earlier time when the content of that image was stamped. The system consists of a stamping process that embeds stamping information into a source image and produces a verification key, and a verification process that extracts stamping information from a stamped source image based on the verification key. Furthermore, the verification process produces an image itself, from which the verification can be readily judged visually or by use of a computer or other display device. In the verification process, the changes in an image can be detected and localized. The image stamping process further includes an error diffussion process so that the effects of combining the stamping information with the original image are not readily perceptable. An image is safeguarded against malicious manipulations and the proprietary rights are protected by maintaining the integrity of the image content.

摘要： The present invention provides methods and apparatus for the color calibration of displays. These methods are particularly useful for displays having properties different than those associated with cathode ray tubes (CRT). Some displays, for example liquid crystal displays (LCD), have a high luminance black, the chromas of their primaries are not independent of their luminance levels, the intensities of their primaries are not strictly monotonically increasing with respect to their RGB levels, the color additivity of their subpixels is affected by crosstalk or leakage and their color measurements are dependent on the view angle of the observer. Therefore, the usage of CRT methods is deficient for such displays. The methods and apparatus of the present invention overcome several deficiencies generally found in non-CRT display devices by employing techniques associated with the use of restricted ranges for the primaries, subtracting the color black from all color measurements, forming a modified display matrix and/or creating tables which correct errors due to the non-linearities or color leakages of these display devices. These enable images to be processed using algorithms of different complexity and precision.
摘要翻译：本发明提供了用于显示器的颜色校准的方法和装置。这些方法对于具有与阴极射线管（CRT）相关的特性不同的性质的显示器特别有用。一些显示器（例如液晶显示器（LCD））具有高亮度黑色，它们的原色的色度不依赖于它们的亮度级别，其基色的强度相对于它们的RGB等级不是严格单调增加，颜色它们的子像素的加和性受串扰或泄漏的影响，并且它们的颜色测量取决于观察者的视角。因此，CRT方法的使用对于这种显示器是不足的。本发明的方法和装置克服了在非CRT显示装置中通常使用与使用限制范围的原色有关的技术的几个缺陷，从所有颜色测量中减去颜色黑色，形成修改后的显示矩阵和/或创建由于这些显示设备的非线性或颜色泄漏而校正错误的表。这些使得能够使用不同复杂度和精度的算法来处理图像。
