摘要： A method (300) is described of determining characteristic of an ink jet printer (15). A chart containing multiple regions or patches is printed (320) on a print medium (115) using the ink jet print (15). The chart includes at least a first region printed using a first set of nozzles, and at least a second region printed using a second set of nozzles. The first and second sets of nozzles are a predetermined distance apart in the printer head of the printer (15). The printing of the first and second regions is also separated by a print medium advance operation equal to the predetermined distance. This causes the first and second regions to be aligned in the direction of the print medium advance operation. The chart is then imaged using scanner (16) chart to form a chart image. The positions of the regions appearing in the chart image are next determined (340). The spatial alignment characteristic of the printer is calculated from the distance, in the medium advance direction, between said first and second regions.

摘要： A method (200) of determining at least rotation and scale parameters of a transformation relating two images is disclosed. The method (200) starts by forming a spatial domain representation of each of the images that is invariant to translation of the images. A correlation in the log-polar domain is next performed between the representations. After detecting a magnitude peak in the correlation, the method (200) determines the rotation and scale parameters from the position of the magnitude peak.

摘要： A method and system is disclosed for authenticating a physical medium (1405). The method starts by retrieving (1406) a reference digital signature (1412) previously determined (1403) based upon visual characteristics of an area (1402) of a reference physical medium (1400). A candidate digital signature (1415) is determined based upon visual characteristics of an area (1408) of the physical medium (1405), the area (1408) of the physical medium (1405) being at least partly corresponding to the area (1402) of the reference physical medium (1400). Weight values associated with different parts of at least one of the areas (1402 and 1408) are determined (201). Finally, the candidate digital signature (1415) is compared (1420) with the reference digital signature (1412), wherein the contributing of the parts in the comparison (1420) is based upon the weight values.

摘要： A method (200) is disclosed of detecting one or more patterns embedded in an image. Each pattern embedded in the image has been formed from a one-dimensional basis function. The method (200) starts by calculating (210) a projective transform of the image. A 1-D correlation is then calculated (220) between the projective transform and the basis function for a selection of angles. Finally, one or more peaks of the correlation are found (230). The position of each of the peaks provides spatial parameters of one of the one or more embedded patterns.

摘要： A method (1000) of measuring performance parameters of an imaging device (120, 160) is disclosed. The method (1000) maintains a test pattern image (1005), the test pattern image (1005) comprising alignment features and image analysis features. A test chart (110, 170) containing a representation of the test pattern image is next imaged using the imaging device (120, 160) to form a second image (1010). The test pattern image (1005) and the second image (1010) are then registered using region based matching (1035) operating on the alignment features. Finally, the performance parameters are measured by analysing (1060) the image analysis features.

摘要： A method of generating a matching key for an image is disclosed. The matching key is substantially invariant to rotation, scale and translation. The method starts by forming a spatial domain representation of the image that is substantially invariant to translation of the image. Rotation and/or scaling in the spatial domain representation is next transformed into translation to form a transformed image. A representation of the transformed image is then formed that is substantially invariant to translation of the transformed image. The representation of the transformed image is the matching key for the image.

摘要： A method (400) is disclosed for estimating an affine relation between a first image and a second image. The first and second images each have at least 4 non-parallel lines therein. The method (400) starts by identifying (406) sets of intersection points of the lines appearing in each of the images. The method (400) then determines (412) whether a relation between intersection points exists. If the relation exists then the first and second images are affine related and the affine distortion may be inverted (418).
摘要翻译：公开了一种用于估计第一图像和第二图像之间的仿射关系的方法（400）。第一和第二图像各自在其中具有至少4个非平行线。方法（400）通过识别（406）出现在每个图像中的线的交集点开始。方法（400）然后确定（412）是否存在交点之间的关系。如果存在关系，则第一和第二图像是仿射相关的，仿射失真可以被反转（418）。
