Abstract
The present disclosure relates generally to image signal processing, including encoding signals for image data or artwork. A color blend/print model is used to predict signal detectability and visibility as is printed on a particular substrate, which facilitates object grading prior to print runs.
Claims15
An image processing method comprising:
- obtaining a digital file representing a three-dimensional (“3D”) package, the 3D package including plural panels that adjoin each other, the 3D package comprising an encoded signal printed on at least two (2) of the plural panels;
- defining plural pairs of adjoining panels;
- determining an encoded signal detectability score for each of the pairs of adjoining panels, the determined encoded signal detectability score being dependent on characteristics of the encoded signal;
- and
- combining the determined encoded signal detectability scores to yield a net score for the 3D package.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more multi-core processors, cause said one or more multi-core processors to perform the following acts:
- obtaining a digital file representing a three-dimensional (“3D”) package, the 3D package including plural panels that adjoin each other, the 3D package comprising an encoded signal printed on at least two (2) of the plural panels;
- defining plural pairs of adjoining panels;
- determining an encoded signal detectability score for each of the pairs of adjoining panels, the determined encoded signal detectability score being dependent on characteristics of the encoded signal;
- and
- combining the determined encoded signal detectability scores to yield a net score for the 3D package.
2 more elements
A system comprising:
- memory for storing a digital file representing a three-dimensional (“3D”) package, the 3D package including plural panels that adjoin each other, the 3D package comprising an encoded signal printed on at least two (2) of the plural panels;
- means for defining plural pairs of adjoining panels;
- means for determining an encoded signal detectability score for each of the pairs of adjoining panels, the determined encoded signal detectability score being dependent on characteristics of the encoded signal;
- and
- means for combining the determined encoded signal detectability scores to yield a net score for the 3D package.
