6748119, Jun 8, 2004

Filed:

Nov 2, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/703675

Inventors:

James E. Bollman - Williamson NY

Assignee:

Xerox Corporation - Stamford CT

International Classification:

G06K 340

US Classification:

382254, 382311

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for interactively and automatically enhancing image data by modifying one or more features of an image. The method includes inputting image data representing an image to be modified, analyzing the image for features to be modified, automatically selecting one or more feature to be modified, determining a first degree of modification using a automatic image enhancement techniques or a stored user preference, reversibly modifying the image based on the selected image feature and the first degree of modification, showing the image before improvement, showing the image after improvement and allowing the user to further modify at least one feature of the image data.

International Classification:

G06K 900

US Classification:

382112, 382167

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for modifying the perceived quality of a document or image. The method includes inputting image or document data representing the image or document to be modified, analyzing the image or document data for one or more objects, evaluating the objects as one or more of acceptable, improvable or deficient based on one or more quality factors. For each object that is evaluated as other than acceptable, the method and apparatus creates, displays and possibly applies a quality recommendation for the objects.

Appl. No.:

5/791261

Inventors:

Louis D. Mailloux - Webster NY
James E. Bollman - Williamson NY

Assignee:

Xerox Corporation - Stamford CT

International Classification:

G03G 1500

US Classification:

355 14

Abstract:

An electrostatographic printing machine in which a plurality of transparencies and at least one opaque original document are reproduced. The transparencies are stored in an ordered sequence and advanced automatically into operative communication with the reproduction system. After a pre-determined number of transparencies have been copied, the opaque original document is reproduced to form an ordered set of copies having copies of the transparencies and opaque original documents.

Appl. No.:

5/687562

Inventors:

James E. Bollman - Williamson NY

Assignee:

Xerox Corporation - Stamford CT

International Classification:

G03G 1501

US Classification:

355 4

Abstract:

An electrophotographic printing machine in which the platen thereof is a field lens. In the opaque reproduction mode, the original document is positioned on the platen in a light receiving relationship with the illumination system. The presence of the field lens does not interfere with the opaque copying mode of the printing machine. When a transparency is being reproduced, the light image of the transparency is projected through the platen. The field lens converges the diverging light rays of the transparency light image.

International Classification:

G03G 1500

US Classification:

355 3R

Abstract:

A half-tone screen in which a substantially transparent substrate has a plurality of opaque regions disposed thereon. The opaque regions are arranged in at least a high frequency repetitive pattern and a low frequency repetitive pattern. This type of screen may be employed to modulate the light image of a color transparency being reproduced by an electrophotographic printing machine.

Abstract:

An apparatus, method and system optimizes Huffman codes within the Huffman tables without requiring buffering an entire uncompressed original image. Compression of a whole image is performed prior to storage in a buffer. Therefore, the necessary buffer size for performing computation of symbol frequencies in order to optimize Huffman codes is reduced. Default Huffman codes are used to pre-compress the image for storage in the buffer. Simultaneously, the input symbol frequency is determined to produce optimized Huffman codes. The optimized Huffman codes are used to optimally re-encode the encoded image data to reduce the space of the re-encoded data. The optimally encoded image data can then be stored and/or transmitted.
