    Abstract: A method of editing a digital image having associated embedded data, such as printing hints, includes embedding (14) a first watermark in the original image (10) before the image is edited (16). The first watermarking scheme associates first watermark information with each pixel and is used to detect which pixels have been edited. A second watermark may be embedded in the original image according to a second watermarking scheme which associates second watermark information with non-overlapping groups of pixels in the original image. The second watermark information may be used to synchronize the first watermark information and to detect editing information which does not change pixel values. After editing, only those edited portions of the image need have their embedded data reapplied.

    Abstract: A method for segmenting an image using a background-based segmentation process is provided. A document image (102) is low-pass filtered and decimated. The decimated image is processed at low resolution by a low-resolution segmentation (104) stage. Segmentation results include identification of a main background and one or more objects. Objects that cannot be classified in text or picture classes are further segmented into a local background and smaller objects. This process is reiterated until all objects are classified in text or picture classes. The results are overlaid on the image (102) during an original-resolution refinement (106) stage to refine the segmentation.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently and cost-effectively remove speckles from a gray scale and a color image for improving the quality of a scanned image. SOLUTION: An annular window-shaped structuring element A comprising two differently sized squares sharing the same geometric center-point is provided for detecting and removing speckles from a scanned image, and the pixel to be analyzed is at the center point of the structuring element A.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To guarantee the same color correction by enhancing a color fidelity in a printed document for each print and for each copy.
    SOLUTION: In the method for enhancing the color fidelity in a plurality of times of reproduction is provided with steps for scanning an image to be reproduced, wherein the relevant image contains a digital watermark including color information, decoding the color information included in the watermark, comparing the decoded color information with the scanned image, generating a correction table from the differences between the decoded color information and the scanned image, and performing color correction on the scanned image by using the correction table.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide image compression method and system. SOLUTION: This image compression method is provided with step of digitizing an image (102) and segmenting the image (102) by a plurality of different methods. The respective segmented images are compressed. Further, the image compression method is provided with the step of deciding a bit rate (RN) for the respective compressed images and the step of deciding how much image distortion (DN) occurs by each compression. Finally, a segmentation method which results in an optimal compromise between the rate and the distortion is selected.
