摘要： A method and apparatus are provided for determining a weighted average measured reflectance parameter Rm for pixels in an image for use in integrated cavity effect correction of the image. For each pixel of interest Pi,j in the image, an approximate spatial dependent average Ai,j, Bi,j of video values in a region of W pixels by H scan lines surrounding the pixel of interest Pi,j is computed by convolving video values Vi,j of the image in the region with a uniform filter. For each pixel of interest Pi,j a result of the convolving step is used as the reflectance parameter Rm. The apparatus includes a video buffer for storing the pixels of the original scanned image, and first and second stage average buffers for storing the computed approximate spatial dependent averages Ai,j, Bi,j. First and second stage processing circuits respectively generate the first and second stage average values Ai,j, Bi,j by convolving the video values of the image in a preselected region with a uniform filter.

摘要： A method and system electronically fuzzy classify a pixel belonging to a set of digital image data with respect to a membership of the pixel in a plurality of image classes. This process determines a fuzzy classification of the pixel and generates an effect tag for the pixel based on the fuzzy classification determination. Each class is defined by a set of heuristic rules such that the image classes are non-mutually exclusive. The heuristic rules are a set of conditions that define the membership value of the pixel within a certain class, thereby allowing a pixel to have a membership value in every possible image class.

摘要： A system and method classify a pixel of image data as one of a plurality of image types. A first image characteristic value for the pixel, a second image characteristic value for the pixel, a third image characteristic value for the pixel, and a fourth image characteristic for the pixel is determined. Some of these determinations may be resolution dependent. The values from these determination are utilized in assigning an image type classification to the pixel. An auto-segmentation circuit enables classifying a pixel as a continuous tone and detecting a gradient in the window of pixels of which the pixel is a member. A filter enhances the image data of the pixel tone when a gradient indicating that image data within the window of pixels is changing at a rate greater than a predetermined threshold is detected or lowpasses the image data of the pixel tone when a gradient indicating that image data within the window of pixels is changing at a rate less than a predetermined threshold is detected.

摘要： A method and apparatus to process an electronic image of a document that is previously divided into a plurality of classified tiled rectangular blocks. Each pixel within halftone blocks is analyzed to calculate a busyness measure value, preferably a sum of Laplacians although other range-type functions could be used. When the busyness value is less than a first predetermined threshold value, the video intensity level of the pixel is compared against a second predetermined threshold value and when greater than the second predetermined threshold value, the pixel is re-classified as being a Text document type to produce a crisp, clean background in the rendered image. When the video intensity level of the pixel is less than the second predetermined threshold value, the pixel is re-classified as being a Contone image type to minimize abrupt changes in pixel classification block boundaries, which would result in objectionable artifacts in the rendered image resulting from density or texture changes at the block boundaries. Selectively re-classifying individual pixels within blocks of tiled pixels that were previously classified as halftone pixels greatly reduces rectangular artifacts in the classification map. Such rectangular artifacts in the classification map are often translated by classification driven image processing into undesirable rectangular artifacts when the image is viewed or analyzed further. Certain classification transitions are thereby moved to coincide with contours and transitions in the image video, thereby hiding the classification transitions.

摘要： A method and apparatus improves digital reproduction of a compound document image containing half-tone tint regions and text and/or graphics embedded within the half-tone tint regions. The method entails determining a local average pixel value for each pixel in the image, then discriminating and classifying based on the local average pixel values, text/graphics pixels from half-tone tint pixels. Discrimination can be effected by calculating a range of local averages within a neighborhood surrounding each pixel; by calculating edge gradients based on the local average pixel values; or by approximating second derivatives of the local average pixel values based on the local averages. Text/graphics pixels are rendered using a rendering method appropriate for that type of pixel; half-tone tint pixels are rendered using a rendering method appropriate for that type of pixel.

摘要： A system and method electronically image process a pixel belonging to a set of digital image data with respect to a membership of the pixel in a plurality of image classes. This process uses fuzzy classification to determine a membership value for the pixel for each image classes and generates an effect tag for the pixel based on the fuzzy classification determination. The pixel is image processed based on the membership vector of the pixel. The determination of the membership value also includes the determination of the halftone frequency of the pixel. The present process injects random noise into the frequency estimate before classification to avoid having a sharp shift in the pixel classification population as the ripple in the frequency microclassifier crosses the quantization threshold.

摘要： Disclosed is a processor-implemented method for processing images. The processor receives image data of a color space defined by input provided to a system by a user, determines at least one color attribute of the pixels in the received image correlating to at least perceptual image characteristics, determines statistics using the attribute(s), and analyzes the statistics to classify the image into a category. Based on at least the category, a billing structure for the image is determined. For example, chroma and/or hue of pixels can be used to create histograms, whose data is used to determine a degree of color and/or content of an image, which is categorized. Color space components of received pixels can also be statistically analyzed. Such determinations consider billing based on human perception of use of color. Billing for color images in this manner satisfies the user and increases use of color output (e.g., printing).
