US Patent:

6349146, Feb 19, 2002

Filed:

Dec 22, 1998

Appl. No.:

09/218090

Inventors:

Paul G. Roetling - Webster NY

Assignee:

Xerox Corporation - Stamford CT

International Classification:

G06K 900

US Classification:

382162, 382165

Abstract:

An apparatus and methods that convert input image data into device-biased image data useable with one or more image output devices such that the device-biased image data may be easily converted into device-specific image data while still being in a form that is able to be converted back into the original image data. The apparatus and methods perform device-biased color space adjustment operations on the image data input by an image data source. The apparatus and methods convert the input image data into device-biased image data according to one or more conversion methods and stores the device-biased image data. The device-biased image data is then converted into device-specific image data whenever the image is to be output by an image output device.

Assignee:

Xerox Corporation - Stamford CT

International Classification:

G03F 308

US Classification:

358 323, 358522, 358523, 358504

Abstract:

A method for calibrating a printer includes printing a first set of color samples with the printer, reflecting at least a portion of the printer gamut. Each printed color sample in the set of samples is measured calorimetrically, to determine the printers response thereto. The colorimetric response is compared with a predictive model of printer behavior for that portion of the printer gamut. In a portion of the printer gamut wherein the calorimetric response differs from predicted printer behavior, the printer generates a new set of color samples, for printing. The new set of color samples is secondarily measured to determine the printers colorimetric response thereto; and using the initial measurements and the secondary measurements, a color calibration table is generated for use by the printer in converting device independent colors to device dependent colors.

International Classification:

G06F 1500

US Classification:

358 323, 358504, 358536

Abstract:

A method for calibrating a printer includes printing a set of color samples with the printer, the set of samples or calibration target generated dynamically in response to selected printer variables, and reflecting at least a portion of the printer gamut. Each printed color sample in the set of samples is measured calorimetrically, to determine the printers response thereto, so that a calibration table can be generated, taking into account printer variables selected by a user.

US Classification:

382112, 382286

Abstract:

Text, images, and/or graphics of electronic documents should be organized and laid out in a two-dimensional format for presentation to the viewer. The best such layout depends upon the content present, the creator's intent, the output device, and the viewer's interests. To analyze the qualitative nature of the layout in quantifiable terms, the electronic document is measure using various quantifiable factors; such as, balance, uniformity, white space management, alignment, consistency, legibility, etc. ; that impact a qualitative nature of a document. Such quantifiable factors are then used to quantize the aesthetics, ease of use, eye-catching ability, interest, communicability, comfort, and convenience of the document.
