Abstract:
Las enseñanzas proporcionadas aquí se relacionan con una marca de agua incluida en una imagen que tiene la propiedad de ser relativamente indescifrable bajo luz normal, y aún descifrable bajo luz UV. Esta marca de fluorescencia comprende un sustrato que contiene agentes abrillantadores ópticos, y una primera mezcla de colorante impreso como una imagen sobre el sustrato. La capa de mezcla de colorante tiene como característica una propiedad de fuerte supresión de fluorescencia del sustrato, así como una propiedad de bajo contraste bajo iluminación normal contra el sustrato o una segunda mezcla de colorante impresa en proximidad espacial cercana a la primera mezcla de colorante, de modo que el sustrato transformado con la imagen resultante expuesto de manera adecuada a una fuente de luz ultravioleta, producirá una imagen discernible evidente como una marca fluorescente.
Abstract:
The teachings as provided herein relate to a watermark embedded in an image that has the property of being relatively indecipherable under normal light, and yet decipherable under UV light. This fluorescent mark comprises a substrate containing optical brightening agents, and a first colorant mixture pattern printed as an image upon the substrate. The colorant mixture pattern layer has as characteristics a property of strongly suppressing substrate fluorescence, as well as a property of low contrast under normal illumination against the substrate or a second colorant mixture pattern printed in close spatial proximity to the first colorant mixture pattern. The second colorant mixture pattern having a property of providing a differing level of substrate fluorescence suppression from the first such that the resultant image rendered substrate suitably exposed to an ultra-violet light source, will yield a discernable image evident as a fluorescent mark.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To re-sequence data without requiring their re-measurements. SOLUTION: The outputs of the calibration systems used when performing calibrations to the document processing systems (DPS) are made effective. Each calibration target is generated for evaluating the range of the DPS output. The target includes a plurality of target elements and element orientation information for representing the physical layout of the target elements in the DPS output. The DPS output is generated together with the calibration targets. The characteristic values of the DPS output are measured correspondingly to the individual target elements. When recognizing the erroneous sequencing to the measurements of the target elements, the measurement values of the DPS target elements are re-sequenced based on the desired sequences for calculating proper calibration functions without requiring their re-measurements.

SOLUTION: The color transformation method comprises: for a first of a plurality of color separations in a digital image: (a) establishing a plurality of tone reproduction curves, each of the tone reproduction curves accounting for colorant interactions between a primary colorant with which the first color separation is to be rendered and at least one secondary colorant with which at least a second of the plurality of color separations is to be rendered, each of the tone reproduction curves including modified input values corresponding to input values for the color separation at fixed input values of at least the second color separation; (b) for a pixel of the digital image having a given input value for the first color separation and a given input value for at least the second color separation, selecting, from the plurality of tone reproduction curves, at least one tone reproduction curve for which the fixed input value for the second color separation is close to the given input value for the second color separation; (c) for each of the selected tone reproduction curves, determining a modified input value for the first color separation which corresponds to the input value for the first color separation; and (d) where more than one tone reproduction curve is selected, determining a combined modified input value for the color separation of the pixel as a function of the modified input values for the first color separation determined from the selected reproduction curves.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To re-sequence data without the need for remeasurement. SOLUTION: A system enables output, used for calibration of a document processing system(DPS), to be effective. Calibration target is termed for evaluating the range of output by the DPS. This target includes a plurality of target elements and element orientation information representing a physical layout of the target elements in the DPS output. The DPS output is generated, together with the calibration target. Characteristic values of the DPS output are measured in correspondence with individual target elements. When it is recognized that wrong sequencing has been performed for measurement of the target elements, the measurement values of the target elements of the DPS are re-sequenced, based on, a desired sequence for calculating an appropriate calibration function without the need for remeasurement.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform personalization of electronic images on real time. SOLUTION: A system 10 has a processor 14 which executes a group of instructions executable by a computer stored on a memory 16. The group of instructions includes the steps of receiving input coordinates of each peak of a quadrilateral 28 considered to exist on a certain plane in electronic images; reading one or more variable text strings 32 from a database; performing affine transformation 30 so that each variable text string matches a rectangular text box; performing nonlinear projection conversion 24 to the rectangular text box so that the peaks of the rectangular text box are moved to respective peaks of the quadrilateral; and rendering converted variable text strings into quadrilaterals on each version of the electronic images, respectively. The system 10 has a printer 22 which prints electronic images, such that the variable text string has been located in the quadrilateral. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image processing system and method for compensating for effects by spatially dependent colorant appearance variations associated with colorant interaction. SOLUTION: The image processing system comprises: image rendering devices; a colorant interaction based spatial uniformity detector/isolator that is operative to measure spatial uniformity variations in a rendering process of the at least one image rendering device, detect or isolate colorant interaction based aspects of the measured spatial uniformity variations and determine a spatially dependent decorrelating function that compensates for the detected or isolated colorant interaction based aspects of the measured spatial uniformity variations; and a colorant interaction based spatial uniformity variation compensator that is operative to receive the spatially dependent decorrelating function from the colorant interaction based spatial uniformity detector/isolator, to receive a first color and location description and to processes the first color description through the decorrelating function, in accord with the location information, thereby generating a colorant description that is compensated for spatially dependent colorant interaction effects of the at least one image rendering device.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for a digital watermark which does not deteriorate a texture, has a high information channel capacity, and is designed for use in a printing process. SOLUTION: At first, an input electronic image is received as a scanned version of a printed image, an interested object area in the image is then extracted, and a total quantity K ( displayed as K H ) of coloring matter existed to the area is obtained. Further, a color value is generated from that and a GCR used for encoding the area is decided by using K H and the obtained color value. A encoded information bit is searched from there based on the decided GCR. A predicted K H is preferably evaluated by a condition of a capacity signal K L and a luminance signal L. Value of the K H , K L , and L are lead from the obtained data. Here, the K H is predicted from a high resolution scan, and the K L and the L are predicted from a reduced image, respectively.
