    摘要: Described herein is a method of calibrating displays (or printers) using Natural Language-based commands. The exemplary method provides an easy-to-use solution to the common methods of color calibrating a display. Instead of using sliders or manual controls for the individual dimensions of a three-dimensional color problem, the user is able to make adjustments via natural language commands, such as “make reference patch less purple.” The method does not require the user to understand color mixing technology when making separate R, G, and B adjustments to match a specified patch. A user can easily express the necessary color adjustment in natural language terms, making the process simpler and faster.

    摘要: A system is employed to reveal a watermark in a document. A watermark generator is utilized to select the placement and at least one colorant combination of an image and at least one colorant combination for a watermark on a document, where the at least one colorant combination of the image and the watermark form a metameric pair. A printing system receives data from the watermark generator and places the image and the watermark on the document. A decoder comprising a narrow band illumination element is selected or tuned to a wavelength corresponding to the colorant combinations utilized by the printing system to reveal the watermark placed thereon.

    摘要: Provided is a method for the automated selection of sample documents or pages from a large collection, and more particularly an application of the method in a proof presentment environment—where the method is employed for selection and review of representative or extreme pages from a large document, such as one scheduled for printing. The method characterizes pages or documents in a multi-dimensional vector space based upon a set of characteristics, and then uses clustering techniques to group the pages, enabling the selection of typical pages from the groups, outlier pages from extremes lying outside of the groups, or both typical and outlier pages.

    摘要: Extended colorant sets are used to hide data or provide a watermark in printed images. Extended set colorants are colorants other than, and in addition to, the standard or common subtractive primary colorants: cyan, magenta, yellow and/or black. Where the extended colorant set supports a plurality of colorant recipes for rendering a given color, watermark data is used to select a colorant recipe from the plurality. As the watermark data to be encoded in the image changes state with image position, alternate colorant recipes or colorant selection functions are selected. The image is rendered based on the alternate colorant recipe selections. Watermark information is encoded in the colorant recipe or colorant selection function selection. Use of the extended colorant sets allows information to be encoded even in portions of an image having colors that do not include a neutral component.

    摘要: A method is disclosed for determining an adjustment amount to be made to an input chroma, Cin, to squeeze the input chroma toward a region of preferred chroma, Cpref. This method involving first defining a change in chroma as: ΔC=Cin−Cpref and defining a chroma weight as: Cweight=Gaussian(Cpref,Csigma); defining a luminance weight as: Lweight=Gaussian(Lpref,Lsigma); defining a hue weight as: Hweight=Gaussian(Hpref,Hsigma);. Then, an amount of chroma adjustment is: CAdjust=ΔC*(Hweight*Cweight*Lweight). An output chroma is generated by applying chroma adjustment to chroma input: Cout=Cin−CAdjust.

    摘要: What is disclosed is an image processing method for enabling one to print color graphics and other recognizable objects on monochrome printers while retaining color differences. More specifically, the present method is for preserving color discriminability in a grayscale representation. The method involves first sorting colors according to at least one characteristic dimension of a color space such as lightnesses. The color space preferably is a luminance-chrominance color space, although others are envisioned. The sorted colors are adjusted by a metric appropriate to the color space such that the metric imparts a degree of distinction among the colors along the chosen characteristic dimension. The spacing between two adjacent sorted colors can be constant, or weighted by the total color difference between the two colors in the original color space. Color difference can be calculated using for example ΔE*ab, ΔE*LCh, ΔE*94, or DE2000 metrics. Once the colors have been adjusted, they are converted to the monochrome representation using straightforward techniques.

    摘要: What is disclosed is a system and method for dynamically reducing the number of choices by reordering the selectable menu options in each menu of a color adjustment tool based on image content, selections in other menus, and usage history. Color names and color modifiers are reduced and/or reordered through image analysis, with most frequently occurring colors being placed at the top of the menu and excluding less frequently used or unused colors from the menu. Adjustment adjectives are reduced by eliminating nonsensical or rare color adjustment combinations (e.g. make the grays much more colorful, make the blues yellower), and/or reordered based on usage history, either by the individual user or by aggregating over many users.

    摘要: A color printing process, printing a color image in which out-of-gamut original colors are present. For each pixel defined by an original color which is determined to be out of gamut, a gamut remapping process is applied to map each pixel to a color which is within a printer gamut, remapping said pixels to colors within an output printer gamut. For a given set of gamut remapped pixels, gamut remapped pixel colors are compared with said original pixel colors, to derive a comparison metric. Using the comparison metric, a corrected set of gamut remapped colors is generated. The comparison metric may be subjected to an adaptive filtering process, which strengthens the comparison metric in high frequency image regions to increase its impact on the gamut remapped colors, and weakens the comparison metric in low frequency areas, to weaken its impact on the gamut remapped colors.

    摘要: A method is disclosed for improving printer characterization tables to best reproduce desired colors on a destination device given the ambient illumination at that device's location. The user determines viewing illumination using a target preferably provided with the printer or alternatively printed directly from the characterized printer. The target comprises metameric color pairs allows which users to quickly determine their approximate viewing illumination by selecting the matching pair. A metameric match of color pairs (metamers) is defined to have equal colorimetric values, XYZ or LAB, for one illumination and differing reflectance spectra. Each color pair corresponds to a different illumination condition. All pairs of metamers which comprise the target are examined to determine which pair is the best match. Targets could be bipartite patches, half-and-half images, readability tasks, or images. The appropriate color-correction transform for the selected illumination is applied. Alternatively the color-correction transform for the selected illumination is modified directly.
