Abstract: A system wherein already-existing computing and memory resources in an electronic camera are used to process an image for printing. Rather than duplicating, in printers, computing and memory resources that are already in digital cameras, significant computing and memory resources need exist only in the camera. A digital camera can support many different printers, each with its own set of parameters such as for example print size, pixel size, colorimetry, sensitometry, and artifacts compensation. Printer parameters are uploaded from the printer to the camera to provide a basis for image processing specific to the associated printer; whereby compensation may be done for variations in the printer characteristics which may occur as a result of printer manufacturing variations, and further so that compensation may be done for different media types which may be installed in the printer.

Abstract: Image reconstruction is provided by sending low frequency image information via a first transmission channel and high frequency edge information via a second channel. This provides the needed high frequency information which exists in the vicinity of edges, but not the high frequency information which exists in other areas of the image. A process for the compression and transmission of original images containing both low frequency information and high frequency includes the steps of compressing the low frequency information, transmitting the compressed low frequency information, multitoning the low frequency information to form a multitoned reconstruction, multitoning the original image to form a multitoned original, calculating a residual signal as the difference between the multitoned original and the multitoned reconstruction, and transmitting the residual signal.
