摘要： A special test pattern and image quality analysis system and process for evaluating the test pattern are provided to accurately measure color-color registration in an image output device that prints in CMYK color. The process is robust even when using relatively low-resolution CCD-based scanners and also is unique in that the process automatically factors out errors originating from skew between the detector and the subject of measurement. Further, registration of each of C, M, and Y relative to K are independently determined. The test pattern includes an upper part and a lower part, with both the upper and lower parts having a black K component and the upper part also including color components for C, M and Y. The system and method have potential for being built in to color printers or copiers to allow measurement of color misregistration within the paper path and automatically correct for color registration errors.

摘要： An ink key simulator for image forming devices may simulate the effect of ink key adjustments in offset presses. The image adjustment may be made in response to activation of a simulated ink key, for example, by adjusting the pixel values of the stored data and/or by adjusting imaging light source intensity within a given region of the image. Using the ink key simulator, adjustments to image quality from printers may be made on-the-fly using an interface which is familiar to the operators of offset presses.

摘要： A method of adjusting an image production system to account for a variable property of a desired output medium includes storing a reference characterization of at least one measured value associated with a reference output medium. An output value, adjusted for the variable property of the desired output medium, is determined based on data including the reference characterization of the reference output medium, for example stored in color lookup tables, color rendering dictionaries, or the like. Based on the adjusted output value determined, the desired output medium is then printed or otherwise marked using the output value.

摘要： The present invention is directed to a system and method for test target selection in conjunction with dynamic test pattern generation. In the invention, a test pattern page(s) is composed using an optimal set of test targets, which can be accommodated or adjusted to fit within size constraints of the test pattern. The method of the present invention makes use of layout optimization to ensure that related and optimized test targets are accommodated on a single test pattern. For example, it may be preferable to “squeeze in” a smaller-than-normal uniform area target, rather than not to print it at all during a test.

摘要： A virtual tech rep system that can assist in reducing service call visits and customer complaints by readily analyzing image quality of an output image device, such as a copier or printer. The system generates a hardcopy test pattern output from the copier or printer and then scans the test pattern using either the platen of the digital copier or an external scanner to form a digital raster image. Test targets in the digital raster image are then determined using pattern recognition software and image quality analysis is then performed on the test targets based on the sensitivity of the human visual system. It is preferable that the image quality analysis is based on human vision systems rather than a direct comparison between original and printed images as many differences may go unnoticed by a human viewer whereas other types of differences may be readily noticed, even if only slight. The system optionally sends the test results and possibly part or all of the scanned test pattern to a service or diagnostic facility (remote or local) for further analysis when potential defects are identified. This process may be performed at start-up or automatically initiated after a predetermined number of operating cycles or hours of use have been attained.
摘要翻译：虚拟技术代表系统，可以通过轻松分析输出图像设备（如复印机或打印机）的图像质量来帮助减少服务呼叫访问和客户投诉。系统生成从复印机或打印机输出的硬拷贝测试图案，然后使用数字复印机的压板或外部扫描仪扫描测试图案，以形成数字光栅图像。然后使用模式识别软件确定数字光栅图像中的测试目标，然后基于人类视觉系统的灵敏度对测试目标进行图像质量分析。优选地，图像质量分析基于人类视觉系统，而不是原始和打印图像之间的直接比较，因为许多差异可能不被人类观察者注意到，而其他类型的差异可能容易被注意到，即使只是轻微的。系统可选地将测试结果以及可能的部分或全部扫描测试图案发送到服务或诊断设备（远程或本地），以便在识别出潜在缺陷时进行进一步分析。该过程可以在启动时执行或者在已经达到预定数量的操作循环或使用小时之后自动启动。

摘要： An image quality analysis system is provided that can determine various aspects of image quality easily and with minimal user involvement and minimal user expertise. The system uses a scanner, either a stand-alone or part of a multi-function printer/scanner/copier, to scan a printed test pattern, and then perform a series of analyses on the scanned image using an image quality analysis module that may be built into the image output device being tested, or provided as a stand-alone component that can receive the output from the scanner. There are often a number of different test patterns that would be used depending on which print quality issues are being tested. By encoding each test pattern with a coded identification label, not only can the particular test pattern be identified, but the analysis to be performed can also be determined from the corresponding script when the printed test pattern is scanned and subsequently decoded. Particularly suitable decoders are OCR and barcode readers. Such identification labels and/or scripts can also be used to identify a particular machine that is being tested and other relevant information.

摘要： An image quality analysis system is provided for image output devices, such as printers and copiers, that overcomes problems with differences in analysis results caused by use of different image input devices. This is achieved by computing a differential transfer function that makes subsequent analysis device independent. Moreover, the analysis is performed on an image that has been blurred to also reflect absolute image quality metrics as seen by a human observer. By determining the resolving characteristics of the input scanner, the scanned image can be processed, with little or no artifacts, to resemble the image as perceived by a human observer, while at the same time eliminating differences that would arise when using a scanner having a different spatial resolving power.
