    Abstract: Methods and systems for compression of digital images (still or motion sequences) are provided wherein predetermined criteria may be used to identify a plurality of areas of interest in the image, and each area of interest is encoded with a corresponding quality level (Q-factor). In particular, the predetermined criteria may be derived from measurements of where a viewing audience is focusing their gaze (area of interest). In addition, the predetermined criteria may be used to create areas of interest in an image in order to focus an observer's attention to that area. Portions of the image outside of the areas of interest are encoded at a lower quality factor and bit rate. The result is higher compression ratios without adversely affecting a viewer's perception of the overall quality of the image.

    Abstract: A blank is provided for producing color swatches on a color printer or photocopier. A sheet adapted to be fed through the printer or photocopier contains a first set of perforations defining the perimeter of a swatch card. A second set of perforations disposed within the perimeter of the swatch card defines a plurality of openings. The openings are punched out, preferably after color swatches have been printed on the swatch card, in order to enable the viewing of a sample color through the opening for comparison with the color swatches. A third set of perforations is provided in a corner of the swatch card to enable a plurality of swatch cards to be assembled into a reference deck by passing a fastener through holes formed via the third set of perforations. Each sheet can have a plurality of swatch cards laid out therein, with each swatch card containing a plurality of color swatches.

    Abstract: A method is provided for determining colorant levels required by a printer to match a target color. A set of candidate colors is generated on a computer and printed on the printer. Color neighbors in the candidate color sets are calculated based on the colorants of the particular printer being used, but are presented to the user according to their human-natural organization by hue, lightness and saturation. One or more further sets of candidate colors are generated on the computer in response to user input indicative of a correlation between a color in a most recent printed set of candidate colors and the target color. The user then chooses a further set of candidate colors to be printed. The steps of generating and printing further sets of candidate colors are repeated, if necessary, until a selected color in the most recent printed set of candidate colors acceptably matches the target color. Information indicative of the colorant levels required by the printer to print the selected color is recorded for subsequent use in printing that color.

    Abstract: The invention provides methods and apparatus for correcting spectral measurements, such as are obtained by a spectrophotometer for measuring color. A single matrix is used that operates on a raw measurement vector (spectrum) to obtain a corrected spectrum. The matrix may embody a transform that minimizes the difference between the corrected spectra and a set of reference spectra. The difference may be characterized by a set of basis function weighting vectors which are then used to build the correction matrix. Correction of high resolution spectra (very long measurement vectors) is thereby allowed, without the large number of measurements that would normally be required. The reference spectra can be calibration data, or measurements made by another instrument which is desired to be simulated.

    Abstract: An image recorder for providing a CRT image and apparatus to store the image on a film disposed on a film plane. The relative position, intensity and focus parameters of the image are measured during an initial startup of the image recorder, wherein the position, intensity and focus parameters of the CRT and the image thereon are automatically aligned to assure enhanced performance. The apparatus according to the present invention provides an alignment mask disposed in the CRT plane, and the CRT parameters are measured by observation of the light collected through the alignment mask from the CRT and processing the corresponding light intensity signals. The light sensing device provides a signal which is processed typically by a microprocessor controlled geometry engine to derive a set of correction data which is based on a prototype array of initialized data values. The correction data provide signals which are combined with uncorrected CRT deflection signals to provide a corrected signal. The parameters corrected by the apparatus and method according to the present invention include x and y position, focus and relative picture intensity over the surface of the screen (vignette). The above-listed parameters are used alone and in combination to provide image centering, image scaling and pincushion correction, correction for non-orthogonality between the x and y deflection coils, image rotation and correction for nonlinear second and third order effects. The set of data can also be deliberately distorted to provide image precompensation such as keystone (trapezoid) and spherical corrections as well as vignette compensation such that, when the final image is projected or displayed, a true (nondistorted) image results.
