Trends on Image Processing, Quality Estimation, and Color Reproduction Technologies : "Overview of Hardcopy Technologies in IS&T's 10 th NIP Congress"

Abstract

Recent advances in Image Processing/Quality Estimation/Color technologies are reported from the IS&T Congress papers. Session highlights are as follows. 1.Image Processing: focused on Digital halftoning towards high definition printer. New ED for conventional printing and colorimetric ED methods are expected. Aesthetic and Prefered color imaging' is a future problem. 2.Image Quality: Measure of Text quality, Banding, Paper Brightness are discussed in relation to human visual perceptions. 3.Color: Faithful reproduction is usual. Δ E<3 is reported. Device Independent and Automated color matchings are in progress.
