System For Compression Of Digital Images Comprising Low Detail Areas

View page
US Patent:
6415058, Jul 2, 2002
Filed:
Oct 27, 1998
Appl. No.:
09/181066
Inventors:
Randall E. Grohs - Eagle ID
Brent M. Bradburn - Boise ID
Assignee:
Hewlett-Packard Company - Palo Alto CA
International Classification:
G06K 936
US Classification:
382239, 382224
Abstract:
A computer for compressing a digital image. The computer is operable to decompose a digital image into a set of tiles and to classify certain tiles from the set as being low detail tiles. The computer is further operable to transform each tile from the set of tiles into a series of basis function coefficients to represent the tile in the frequency domain. The computer is responsive to a tile having more than four different pixel values and classified as a low detail tile by transforming the tile into a first series of basis function coefficients. The first series of basis function coefficients includes only four coefficients that have a non-zero value.

Image Compression Of Background And Text Tiles

View page
US Patent:
6594385, Jul 15, 2003
Filed:
Oct 27, 1998
Appl. No.:
09/181031
Inventors:
Randall E. Grohs - Eagle ID
Brent M. Bradburn - Boise ID
Assignee:
Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Houston TX
International Classification:
G06K 900
US Classification:
382166, 358 115
Abstract:
A compression apparatus for compressing a digital image is disclosed and includes a decomposer, a transform encoder unit and a merge plane compressor. The digital image is converted by the compression apparatus into a set of tiles suitable for transform encoding. Each tile from the set is then compressed by converting the tile into a âmerge plane data stringâ and an associated âtransform encoded data stringâ. The merge plane data string describes only the spatial locations of the background pixels in the tile. The transform encoded data describes the tile in the frequency domain but without the spatial frequencies associated with the background pixels. One important use of the present invention is to compress digital images prior to transmitting the digital image to a printer for printing.

Internet Distribution Of Print Job To Multiple Print Shops Based On Geographic Location Of Document Recipients

View page
US Patent:
6659662, Dec 9, 2003
Filed:
Oct 31, 2001
Appl. No.:
10/003788
Inventors:
Randall E Grohs - Star ID
Assignee:
Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Houston TX
International Classification:
B41J 1144
US Classification:
400 76, 358 115, 709203, 709208
Abstract:
A system includes a plurality of print service providers and a print job oversight and analysis center. The print job oversight and analysis center is adapted to, in response to receiving a job requiring printing and delivering documents, determining geographic locations of recipients of the documents and selecting a subset of the print service providers to print the documents and send the documents to the recipients. Each of the print service providers in the subset of print service providers prints documents for a subset of the recipients. The documents are apportioned among the subset of print service providers based on the geographic locations of the recipients of the documents so as to coordinate delivery time from the subset of print service providers to the recipients.

Method And System For Image Processing Including Mixed Resolution, Multi-Channel Color Compression, Transmission And Decompression

View page
US Patent:
6941011, Sep 6, 2005
Filed:
Jun 27, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/185992
Inventors:
Eugene A. Roylance - Boise ID, US
Randall E. Grohs - Star ID, US
Assignee:
Hewlett-Packard Development Company, LP. - Houston TX
International Classification:
G06K009/34
US Classification:
382164, 382166, 382243, 382199, 37524025
Abstract:
The present invention is a method and system for mixed resolution, multi-channel color image processing including compression, transmission and decompression. The color information is defined at a lower resolution since colors generally do not change at a high frequency and higher compression ratios may be obtained with the lower resolution. The edge information contains the commands switch between the foreground and background colors. The edge information occurs at high resolution and high frequency rates relative to the color information. The lower resolution color planes can be pixel replicated to the resolution of the edge information after compression and decompression for proper edge selection to occur. The resulting reconstructed image of foreground and background colors retains high detail.

Compression Of Images Using Object Maps

View page
US Patent:
7146058, Dec 5, 2006
Filed:
Apr 26, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/423623
Inventors:
Randall E. Grohs - Star ID, US
Assignee:
Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Houston TX
International Classification:
G06K 9/36
G06K 9/00
H04N 1/46
US Classification:
382243, 382166
Abstract:
Various systems, methods, and programs embodied in computer readable mediums are provided for compression of a page frame that includes a number of pixels. In one embodiment, an object map is generated that includes a number of values, each of the values being associated with a corresponding one of the pixels in the page frame. Also, a compressed image file is generated of the page frame that is associated with the object map. Each of the values in the object map indicates whether a blank color conversion or one of a number of predefined color conversions is to be performed during a reconstruction of a corresponding one of the pixels, wherein each of the predefined color conversions includes a corresponding degree of gray component replacement.

Printer Pipeline Bypass In Hardware-Ready Format

International Classification:
G06F 15/00
G06K 1/00
US Classification:
358 113, 358 115
Abstract:
An apparatus for generating a data processing pathway in a hardware-ready format is provided which includes a computer-based client and an output device.
