摘要： A system for determining layout of print data printed by a printer onto a recording medium, in which the recording medium is processed by a target device different from the printer. Printing capabilities of the printer and processing capabilities of the target device are both determined. Then, layout of the print data is determined based on compatible capabilities between the printing capabilities of the printer and the processing capabilities of the target device. The layout preferably is determined through communication with the printer and the target device so as to negotiate the layout.

摘要： An application programming interface (API) that provides a common interface between an application program and plural different types of color measuring devices each having at least one color measuring sensor. The API includes plural functions for operating any of the plural different types of color measuring devices. In order to complete an operation performed by at least one of the plural functions, the function that performs the operation must be called a number of times which is different for at least two different types of color measuring devices. For a particular color measuring device, the API provides the application program with flow control data of the number of times that the function must be called. This flow control data preferably can be provided by the function, in the form of a call-again value or as a numerical value, or by a separate function in the API such as a get-device-capabilities function. In some embodiments of the invention, a combination of these methods of providing the flow control data is utilized. Preferred functions for operating any of the plural different types of color measuring devices include a calibrate-position function, a calibrate-sensor function, a move-to-patch function, and a make-measurement function.

摘要： A system for mapping an input point to a surface of a color gamut in a color space. A two-dimensional slice of the color space is selected. The two-dimensional slice includes the input point. A projection point in the two-dimensional slice and a projection between the input point and the projection point are determined. An intersection point between the projection and a mathematical approximation in the two-dimensional slice also is determined between points at least substantially on the surface of the color gamut. A new mathematical approximation is determined between points at least substantially on the surface of the color gamut, based on the intersection point. The intersection point is redetermined at an intersection between the projection and the new mathematical approximation. The determination of the new mathematical approximation and the redetermination of the intersection are repeated until the intersection point satisfies a goodness criteria.

摘要： Determining a skew angle of a bitmap image comprising of background and image pixels and de-skewing the bitmap image by the determined skew angle. The bitmap image skew angle is determined by calculating plural estimates of the skew angle with corresponding reliability indicators and thereafter selecting the estimate skew angle with the best reliability indicator as the bitmap image skew angle and then de-skew the bitmap image by the determined skew angle. Thereafter, auto-cropping the de-skewed image around a rectangle defined by a first and last column and first and last row of pixels which are not all white.

摘要： Managing color data to transform CMYK source color data from a source device into CMYK destination color data for rendering by a destination device, the CMYK source color data and the CMYK destination color data being comprised of color pixels represented by cyan (C), magenta (M), yellow (Y) and black (K) values, in which a source color profile and a destination color profile are accessed, the source color profile containing a source color transform and the destination color profile containing a destination color transform. A determination is made, for each pixel of the CMYK source color data, whether the pixel has a non-zero C, M or Y value. In a case that a pixel is determined to not have a non-zero C, M or Y value, the CMYK source color data corresponding to the pixel is set into the CMYK destination color data, and in a case that a pixel is determined to have a non-zero C, M or Y value, the CMYK source color data corresponding to the pixel is transformed from a source device color space into CMYK destination color data in a destination device color space. In the transforming step, the source color transform is applied to the CMYK source color data corresponding to the pixel to generate device-independent color data in a device-independent color space, and the destination color transform is applied to the device-independent color data to generate the CMYK destination color data.

摘要： A user interface for image acquisition devices that provides common control of common features of different image acquisition devices while retaining the flexibility needed to provide tailored control that take advantage of unique features of each different image acquisition device. The user interface includes a control area for displaying a property sheet. The property sheet has a plurality of property pages, each of which has an interface for image acquisition device control and each of which has a tab describing the control provided by that property page. At least one property page has an interface for core image acquisition device control, and at least one property page has an interface for device-dependent image acquisition device control. The user interface also provides a property sheet with a property page that attractively provides plural interfaces for control in that property page. The property page includes a control region for providing control and a button region having multiple buttons. An appearance of the control region is changed in response to user manipulation of the multiple buttons, with each different appearance providing a different interface for the control.

摘要： To generate a color palette having m colors (such as 28=256 colors) from a color image described in a color space, pixel image data corresponding to the color image is first obtained. A frequency of occurrence for each color in the pixel image data is then determined. Each color in the pixel image data is assigned to one of a predetermined number of cells into which the color space has been partitioned, the predetermined number being not greater than m. The most commonly occurring color is selected in each cell in which a color exists, so as to obtain n palette colors. A vote value is calculated for each unselected color, the vote value being based at least in part on the frequency of occurrence of the color in the pixel image and a weighting factor based on a rank of the color in its corresponding cell, the unselected colors being the colors not selected in the first selecting step. Thereafter, m-n colors are selected as the unselected colors with the highest vote values. Also, input colors in a color image described in a color space are mapped to a reduced palette of m colors derived by partitioning the color space into a predetermined number of cells, there being at least one palette color in each cell that includes an input color. The mapping is performed by determining in which cell each input color lies, and mapping each input color to the closest palette color from among all palette colors in the cell identified for that input color.

摘要： Selection of pixels from a scanned image of a target document. The target document includes a plurality of color patches. The image includes a rectangular grid of pixels at least some of which correspond to a color patch on the target document. All of the selected pixels correspond to the color patch. The pixels of the image have color values associated therewith. A position in the image is determined which is expected to correspond to the color patch on the target document. An approximation is selected of pixels which correspond to the color patch at the determined position in the image. Groups of all pixels for a border of the approximation are successively discarded, thereby reducing an area of the approximation. The groups of pixels are successively discarded until a variance of color values is stabilized for pixels in the approximation.
