Evaluating the Overall Image Quality of Hardcopy Output
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper addresses the need for a manageable method of evaluating the overall image quality of hardcopy output from printer systems so that the systems can be compared in a meaningful way. Image quality metrics are widely used and are very objective, but are unsuitable for this purpose because there is no good way of extracting overall image quality from the large number of possible metrics. On the other hand, preference measurements do provide information on overall image quality in a customer-relevant form but are notoriously subjective. Moreover, it is difficult to extract from them information needed for engineering improvements, since preference can be severely impacted by poor performance on a single attribute. In this paper, a comprehensive high-level set of image quality attributes is introduced for the purpose of evaluating overall image quality. An example of such a set of attributes is proposed and discussed.

Interpolation for nonlinear Retinex-type algorithms
In this paper we propose a method to speed up Retinex-type algorithms, consisting of a computationally intensive nonlinear illumination estimation module followed by a relatively simple manipulation module. Speed up is obtained by way of computing the illumination on a sub-sampled image. The challenge is to interpolate a piece-wise smooth low resolution image. We present and analyze the trade o...
متن کاملAn Adaptive Hierarchical Method Based on Wavelet and Adaptive Filtering for MRI Denoising
MRI is one of the most powerful techniques to study the internal structure of the body. MRI image quality is affected by various noises. Noises in MRI are usually thermal and mainly due to the motion of charged particles in the coil. Noise in MRI images also cause a limitation in the study of visual images as well as computer analysis of the images. In this paper, first, it is proved that proba...
متن کاملQuality comparison of direct digital panoramic radiography and computed radiography panoramic
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Digital panoramic X-ray images can be captured using photostimulable phosphors or solid-state detectors (i.e. charge-coupled devices and Flat-Panels). The first category is defined as computed radiography (CR) or semi-direct radiography. The second technology that uses solid-state detectors is known as direct digital radiography (DDR). Both of these technologies have their o...
متن کاملOptimal halftoning for network-based imaging
In this contribution, we introduce a multiple depth progressive representation for network-based still and moving images. A simple quantization algorithm associated with this representation provides optimal image quality. By optimum, we mean the best possible visual quality for a given volume of information under real life constraints such as physical (network load, connection speed), psycholog...
متن کاملA Transform Domain Hardcopy Watermarking Scheme
Digital image watermarking is the process of encoding information into a digital image without deteriorating the visual quality of the image. Digital watermarking techniques are designed to withstand various attacks such as standard image processing operations, compression and geometric transformations. In this report we focus on watermarking of printed images and argue that this application re...
