Abstract
Examples to process print media (105) are defined herein. At least one marked cell from a plurality of cells (305) extending throughout a processed image of the print media (105) is detected. The processed image of the print media (105) may include marked portions (110) and unmarked portions (115). Further, the marked cell overlays a marked portion of the processed image. Once the marked cell is detected, the marked portions (110) of the print media (105) corresponding to the marked portions (110) of the processed image may be determined and separated from the print media (105) to provide a processed media (130) comprising the unmarked portions (115).
Claims15
A system to process print media, the system comprising:
- a content analysis engine to detect at least one marked cell from a plurality of cells extending throughout a processed image of the print media, with the processed image of the print media having marked portions and unmarked portions, wherein the at least one marked cell overlays a marked portion of the processed image;
- and
- a media separating unit coupled to the content analysis engine to,
- determine location of marked portions of the print media corresponding to the marked portions of the processed image;
- and
- separate the determined marked portion from the print media to provide a processed media comprising the unmarked portions.
A method for processing print media, the method comprising:
- receiving a processed image corresponding to a digital image of the print media, the print media having at least one marked portion and at least one unmarked portion, wherein the processed image includes a plurality of cells extending throughout the digital image;
- analyzing the processed image to detect at least one marked cell overlaying the at least one marked portion within the processed image;
- and
- operating a media separating unit, based on the analyzing of the processed image, to separate the at least one marked portion corresponding to the at least one marked cell from the print media to provide processed media comprising the at least one unmarked portion.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having a set of computer readable instructions that, when executed, cause a processor to:
- obtain a first digital image corresponding to a first surface of a print media and a second digital image corresponding to a second surface of the print media, each surface of the print media having a marked portion and an unmarked portion;
- generate a combined processed image based on the first digital image and a mirror image of the second image, the combined processed image including a plurality of cells extending throughout the combined processed image;
- detect at least one marked cell from the plurality of cells, wherein the at least one marked cell overlays the marked portion of the combined processed image;
- and
- further generate control instructions to activate a media separating unit to separate the marked portion corresponding to the at least one marked cell from the print media to provide processed media comprising unmarked portions.
