    Abstract: An image compression method includes compressing an input image with first and second compression methods to generate first and second (e.g., lossless and lossy) compressed images. First and second residual layers are generated, based on a difference between the first and second compressed images. Connected components in the residual layers are identified. Each connected component includes a group of one or more pixels that, when mapped to the second compressed image is connected, in first and second directions, to pixels in the second compressed image. A compressed image is generated, which includes, for a connected component identified in the first residual layer, removing corresponding pixels from the second compressed image, and for a connected component identified in the second residual layer, adding corresponding pixels to the second compressed image. The system and method can thus provide file size savings associated with lossy compression while avoiding character replacement.

    Abstract: A print system may include a print engine, a processing device and programming instructions to halftone an electronic document to be printed. The system may receive an input image representing the electronic document to be printed, use a first and second threshold array, which are flipped to each other, to halftone the input image to generate a first and second set of data, respectively, then combine the first and second set of data to generate a halftoned image. In combining the first and second set of data, each dot in the halftoned image may represent full saturation if the corresponding dot in at least one of the first and second set of data represents full saturation, or white if the corresponding dots in both the first and second set of data are white. The system may use the same halftoning method for a monochrome or color document.

    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses methods and systems (a multi-function device or a digital printer) having capabilities for an object enhancement. In an example, the MFD includes a digital front end module to detect edge of the object and direction of the edge. Following the detection of the edge, the digital front end module classify the pixels of the edge into two categories, for example, which define that whether the edge pixels are created by black-to-white transition or white-to-black transition. Based on the classification of the edge pixels, the digital front end module performs the object enhancement either in black-to-white transition or in white-to-black transition.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for classifying a region of interest in an electronic document. A first region from the electronic document is extracted. The first region includes at least the region of interest. A first projection profile of pixels is determined in the region of interest. The first projection profile of pixels is indicative of a presence of a content in the region of interest. The region of interest is classified in at least one category based on a comparison of the first projection profile with a predetermined projection profile associated with the region of interest.

    Abstract: A method and system for segmenting text from non-text portions of a digital image using the size, solidity, and run length characteristics of connected components within the image data. For a connected component comprising a rectangular group of pixels enclosing a set of connected pixels having the same binary state, the size characteristic may be based on a ratio of height to width of the connected component and the total number of pixels within the connected component, the solidity characteristic may be based on a ratio of pixels within a convex hull of the set of connected pixel to a total number of pixels within the connected component, and the run length characteristic may be based on a number of transitions within the connected component.

    Abstract: The disclosure discloses methods and systems for automatically generating multiple scanned files when scanning a document at a multi-function device. The method includes receiving a multi-page document for scanning from a user. A user interface is provided to the user to input one or more keywords and one or more desired resolution values, where the input resolution values are different from a default resolution value set at the multi-function device. A page of the document is scanned to generate a scanned page of a default resolution value. The scanned page is checked if including the one or more input keywords. Accordingly, the default resolution value of the page is converted to the user desired resolution value. The scanning, checking, and converting are repeated till all the pages of the document are scanned. Multiple scanned files of different resolution values are automatically generated from single scan activity.
