摘要： A method for embedding coded information in a coupon with a face value denomination includes encoding that face value denomination value as a plurality of data carrying dot pair patterns where each dot is too small to be visually noticeable. For each page of a document to be rendered, the method includes determining whether the border area is blank. If found not blank the border area is cleared. Each of the plurality of data carrying dot patterns is embedded in the blank border area of the document page. The document page with the embedded data carrying dot patterns is then rendered, where each data carrying dot is too small to be visually noticeable.

摘要： Embodiments herein observe the backing of the document handler to determine if a document was left on the platen and would block the scan head from scanning the documents as they are moved by the document handler. An embodiment herein comprises a transparent platen and a document handler on a first side of the platen. The document handler has a backing, and the backing is adapted to move media within the document handler. A scan head is positioned on a second side of the platen. The scan head remains stationary when scanning the media being moved by the document handler and the scan head moves when scanning media on the platen. The backing of the document handler has a surface that is distinguishable from the media such that the scan head can detect whether the media is on the platen and would block the scan head from scanning the media being moved by the document handler.

摘要： A method and system to convert an image described in a page description language to a contone image. The contone image is halftoned and encoded to generate image data including edge tag data and image data. A tagged state value of each pixel of image data within a predefined neighborhood of pixels is determined. The image data is filtered using a predetermined set of filter weighting values wherein each pixel of image data within the predefined neighborhood of pixels has an associated filter weighting value. A predetermined filtered image value is assigned to each pixel having a tagged state indicating an edge pixel. A summation of all filtered image values for the predefined neighborhood of pixels is assigned when the tagged state of the pixel is a non-edge pixel.

摘要： A high addressable multibit screening device and method for use in a PDL interpreter environment achieve improved printing resolution and quality. A PDL interpreter receives a PDL document from a host source, which identifies one or more objects that can be fully toned (black) or partially toned (line art or images). Each of these objects can be processed differently. Fully toned objects are processed within the interpreter and directly output in a predetermined output. Partially toned objects are sent to a high addressable screening module within the interpreter for processing prior to outputting in a desired output format. The high addressable screening module screens the partially toned objects to obtain multibit screened data for output. This can be achieved by converting an array of single threshold values to an array of three or more sub-threshold values in a way that preserves the pattern specified by the original threshold array (one bit per pixel image), but improves the quality of the rendered image relative to the quality of a one bit per pixel (per colorant) image. The partially toned data is then output with the fully toned objects for subsequent printing. This achieves an increase in available tints and spatial frequency for a given halftone pattern while reducing memory requirements.

摘要： A method and system implements selective, memory efficient, control over the amount of error diffused in a hybrid screening system. An image context error computer receives a pixel classification and an error value. Upon receiving these data, a set of shift registers supplies a fractional portion of the error value to an error diffusion circuit. A bypass thresholder receives screened video and applies simple thresholding. In parallel with the simple thresholding, an error diffuser receives screened video and applies error diffusion. The results of the two processes are output to a multiplexer which outputs one based on the pixel classification.

摘要： An image processing apparatus and method include a plurality of different background suppression data acquisition modes selectable by a user in order to obtain background suppression data from a document being reproduced. The obtained background suppression data is used by an image processing unit to suppress the background region of the document being reproduced. The user is able to select one of the plurality of background suppression data acquisition modes depending upon the user's desire for high speed document reproduction versus the required quality of background suppression. In this manner, the user is able to determine whether document reproduction speed or background suppression quality is to be emphasized. The user's choice of a background suppression data acquisition mode is selectively overridden if the image processing apparatus determines that a more performance-intensive background suppression data acquisition mode may be implemented to improve background suppression quality without an associated loss of document reproduction speed.
