Systems And Methods For Adaptively Filtering Palettized Images

View page
US Patent:
6392764, May 21, 2002
Filed:
Nov 12, 1998
Appl. No.:
09/189931
Inventors:
Reiner Eschbach - Webster NY
Fritz F. Ebner - Rochester NY
Assignee:
Xerox Corporation - Stamford CT
International Classification:
G03F 308
US Classification:
358522, 382168, 382162
Abstract:
Palletized image enhancement systems and methods enhance palletized images by -filtering the palletized image. Palletized images, such as GIF images, are analyzed to obtain a number of filter parameters based on the global image features of the palletized image. Local portions of the image data are analyzed to determine which of the filter parameters should be used for each particular portion. The filter parameters are determined based on histograms of the color palette of the palletized image data. As a result, a good balance between color re-creation and image sharpness in the enhanced palletized image is obtained.

US Patent:
6411401, Jun 25, 2002
Filed:
Dec 31, 1998
Appl. No.:
09/224335
Inventors:
Fritz F. Ebner - Rochester NY
Michael Kerrigan Hawes - Pittsford NY
Assignee:
Xerox Corporation - Stamford CT
International Classification:
H04N 1405
US Classification:
358 19, 358 12, 358 306, 382299
Abstract:
A method and programmable gray scale halftoner with object oriented resolution capability apparatus are provided for selecting a resolution and gray level range to deliver halftone value data to an associated laser output device. The apparatus includes an input buffer adapted to receive a first group of n pixel data values, each having a resolution object tag associated therewith. A mapping circuit maps the first group of pixel data values to a first one of a plurality of resolution object tags. A first configurable gray scale halftone generator is adapted to generate n halftone values in a range of from 0-8 Bit Gray level modes, each of the n halftone values being associated with a single pixel data value among the first group of pixel data values. Second and third configurable gray scale halftone generators are each respectively adapted to generate n/2 and a single halftone value in a range of from 0-8 Bit Gray level modes. The single halftone value is an average pixel data value among the first group of pixel data values and the n/2 halftone values are multiple average values.

Method And Apparatus For Applying Object Characterization Pixel Tags To Image Data In A Digital Imaging Device

View page
US Patent:
6429950, Aug 6, 2002
Filed:
Dec 31, 1998
Appl. No.:
09/224322
Inventors:
Fritz F. Ebner - Rochester NY
Assignee:
Xerox Corporation - Stamford CT
International Classification:
G06K 934
US Classification:
358 19, 358 116, 358 118, 382173, 382180
Abstract:
A method and apparatus uses simple interpretive programming language commands to generate and register object characterization information in the form of tags appended to a plurality of pixel display values stored in the frame buffer of a digital imaging device. The page description language commands are used to generate and register the tag information on a per-pixel level in the frame buffer based on the object type of imaging data derived from the page description language data received into the imaging device. The pixel data image tagging is useful to differentiate between bit maps, text, line art, and fill art in gray scale, RGB, CMYK, and other color space frame buffers to enable per-pixel segmentation tags. In one aspect of the invention, an auxiliary color transfer function is provided together with an auxiliary frame buffer channel that are respectively adapted to generate and store tag bits or image object tags without effecting the standard RGB, CMYK or other color transformation functions and/or digital frame buffer image color storage planes. Preferably, PostScript programming language commands are used to set the yellow color transfer function to render image data with predetermined LSB bit patterns.

Compact High Addressability Rendering

View page
US Patent:
6608701, Aug 19, 2003
Filed:
Jul 7, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/348378
Inventors:
Robert P. Loce - Webster NY
Michael Branciforte - Rochester NY
Fritz F. Ebner - Rochester NY
Douglas N. Curry - Menlo Park CA
Yeqing Zhang - Penfield NY
Leon C. Williams - Walworth NY
Assignee:
Xerox Corporation - Stamford CT
International Classification:
G06K 936
US Classification:
358 309, 358 314
Abstract:
A compact rendering processor for processing image data including a multi-bit halftone region generates high addressability pixels. The compact rendering processor includes a tagging sub-processor operating on the image data to identify a target pixel and a neighboring pixel to determine a fill-order. The compact rendering processor also includes a rendering sub-processor that converts the target pixel into a high addressability pixel based upon the fill-order. Optionally, a diffusion sub-processor can be included to diffuse an error resulting from the conversion of the target pixel into a high addressability pixel to other pixels within the image data.

High Resolution Image Mapping For Simulating High Resolution Printing Using High Addressability Without Affecting Halftone Rendering

View page
US Patent:
6771392, Aug 3, 2004
Filed:
Sep 24, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/405878
Inventors:
Fritz F. Ebner - Rochester NY
Assignee:
Xerox Corporation - Stamford CT
International Classification:
G06K 932
US Classification:
358 307, 358452
Abstract:
A method for simulating high resolution printing by converting high resolution bits of a binary image to sub-pixel high addressable bits is presented. A first image is received having a first fast-scan resolution and a first slow-scan resolution. The first image is converted to a second image having a second fast-scan resolution and a second slow-scan resolution. The second fast-scan resolution of the second image is greater than the first fast-scan resolution of the first image. Also, the second slow-scan resolution of the second image is less than the first slow-scan resolution of the first image. In addition, a method of generating a high addressable halftone image from a high resolution binary image for marking on an image output terminal is presented. A high addressable halftone threshold array having a first high addressability value is converted to a balanced halftone threshold array having a first resolution in a fast-scan direction and the same first resolution in a slow-scan direction. An image is screened by applying the balanced halftone threshold array to the image to generate a screened image which is then converted to a high addressable binary image having a first high addressability value by a mapping transformation conversion.

View page
US Patent:
7009735, Mar 7, 2006
Filed:
Jan 7, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/040690
Inventors:
Fritz F. Ebner - Rochester NY, US
Assignee:
Xerox Corporation - Stamford CT
International Classification:
B41J 1/00
G06F 15/00
G03F 3/08
US Classification:
358 19, 358518, 358 326
Abstract:
A method for performing black trapping and under print processing on image data from a raster image processing (RIP) frame buffer is provided. The image data includes pixel data according to a predetermined color space (e. g. , RGB) and may include black rendering hints. If black rendering hints are not included, the method includes steps to determine if each pixel from the frame buffer is black or black with respect to predetermined thresholds. Three further embodiments of the method are provided in regard to CMY under print values for a black pixel when all pixels of a context window surrounding the black pixel are black. One embodiment provides no CMY under print. Another embodiment provides a predefined CMY under print. Still another embodiment provides an adaptive CMY under print based on the last saved CMY under print value.

Black Component Generation

US Patent:
7050627, May 23, 2006
Filed:
Jun 29, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/896460
Inventors:
Clara Cuciurean-Zapan - Fairport NY, US
Fritz F. Ebner - Rochester NY, US
Scott A. Bennett - Canandaigua NY, US
Assignee:
Xerox Corporation - Stamford CT
International Classification:
H04N 1/46
G06K 9/00
US Classification:
382167, 358520, 358530
Abstract:
A system and method for generating achromatic components for output incorporate receiving input color data defined in a first color space. The received input color data is converted to intermediate color data defined in an intermediate color space. Typically the intermediate color space is defined only in terms of chromatic components. A black or achromatic component is then calculated. The black or achromatic color component is a function of both the input color data in the first color space and the intermediate color data in the intermediate color space. This black or achromatic color component is associated with the intermediate color data for further processing and output.
