Abstract
Techniques for characterizing an optical system (for example, a printer verifier) are provided. In this regard, the optical system may be characterized for scanning a printed image. The characterization of the optical system includes determining an effective aperture size of the optical system, and correspondingly an effective resolution at which the optical system can be configured to scan a portion of the printed image according to verification requirements.

1-20. (canceled)
A computer-implemented method for improving an image processing efficiency of an optical system, the computer-implemented method comprising:
- accessing characteristic data of an image to be printed on a print media;
- identifying at least a first region and a second region of a printed image based on the characteristic data;
- and
- scanning the first region in the printed image at a first resolution and the second region in the printed image at a second resolution that is different from the first resolution.
An optical system with an improved image processing efficiency, the optical system comprising:
- one or more optical sensors to capture an image of a printed media;
- a processing circuitry in electronic communication with the optical sensor, the processor being configured to:
- receive a print job defining specification of an image to be printed;
- derive characteristic data of the image to be printed on a print media from the print job;
- identify at least a first region and a second region of a printed image based on the characteristics data;
- and
- scan the first region in the printed image at a first resolution and the second region in the printed image at a second resolution that is different from the first resolution.
