    摘要: A system for compensating for a calibration drift in an image output device includes a user input means for specifying an output medium. An image output device controller converts original image data to final image data used by the image output device. The image output device produces a calibration image, as a function of an output medium, for a plurality of halftone screens capable of being produced by the image output device. A processor communicates with the controller. The processor calculates a plurality of candidate tone reproduction curve sets for the specified output medium. Each of the sets corresponds to one of the plurality of halftone screens. The candidate tone reproduction curve sets are accepted for compensating for a calibration drift in the image output device.

    摘要: A method for determining a control signal for use in combining a first digital image that includes both a foreground region and a key color region having an associated key color with a second background digital image, both images including pixels having color values is disclosed. The method includes segmenting the first digital image into a foreground region and a key color region; and identifying transition region pixels in the first digital image that are in the vicinity of a boundary between the segmented foreground region and the segmented key color region. The method further includes computing a color difference signal between the color values of the first digital image and the key color for at least some pixels in the transition region; and computing a control signal for transition region pixels as a function of the color difference signal, where the control signal is to be used to combine the foreground region of the first digital image with the second background digital image.

    摘要: A method for combining a first digital image and a second background digital image, both images including pixels having color values, wherein the first digital image includes both a foreground region having foreground color values and a key color region characterized by a key color, as well as a mixed region where the pixel color values are a mixture of the foreground color value and the key color, includes determining a first control signal that indicates the relative proportions of the foreground color value and the key color for pixels in the first digital image; and segmenting the first digital image into a key color region and a non-key color region in which the non-key color region includes pixels in the first digital image that are not in the key color region. The method also includes determining a second control signal that indicates a spatial distance between the pixels in the first digital image and a boundary between the key color region and the non-key color region; and combining the first digital image and the second background digital image in response to the first and second control signals, the key color, and an illuminant color value.
