  • Publication number: 20220392186
    Abstract: For each of a number of regions of interest (ROI) types, ROIs are extracted from a reference image based on an object map distinguishing symbol, raster, and vector objects within the reference image. Whether print quality of a printing device has degraded below a specified acceptable print quality level is assessed based on a comparison of the extracted ROIs within the reference image to corresponding ROIs within a test image corresponding to the reference image and printed by the printing device.

  • Publication number: 20220392043
    Abstract: For each region of interest (ROI) type of a number of ROI types, ROIs of the ROI type within a reference image are compared to corresponding ROIs within a test image corresponding to the reference image and printed by a printing device. For each ROI type, a feature vector characterizing image quality defects within the test image for the ROI type is generated based on results of the comparing for the ROI type. Whether print quality of the printing device has degraded below a specified acceptable print quality level can be assessed based on the feature vectors for the ROI types.

  • Patent number: 11481995
    Abstract: In an example method, an image of a printed document is descreened. The descreened image is separated into blocks. A smooth area of the descreened image is selected based on an averaging of localized color distance values of pixels in each of the blocks. A streak in a block of the smooth area is detected in response to detecting that a magnitude of a color distance projection of the block exceeds a threshold value.
